View of the Mittelland Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

Near the North Harbor you have a great view of the Mittelland Canal. I'm always amazed at how beautifully green the banks are.

Safety gate at the Mittelland Canal Garbsen

Highlight • Structure

The security gate on the Mittelland Canal between Altgarbsen and Havelse is 15 meters high and the gate alone weighs 65 tons. In the event of a dam bursting, for example, it prevents water from leaking out of the entire canal.

Mittelland Canal Trough Bridge (Seelze-Garbsen)

Highlight • Bridge

Once under the MLK. Here the Mittelland Canal runs in a steel bed over the connection between Garbsen and Seelze. It's an interesting feeling to listen to the ships stomping over you. But there is something else that makes this trough bridge special. There are very special acoustics underneath. You can test this on a small scale, like we did with a 5-person choir, but real musicians also use these acoustics and like to meet during the international music festival, the 'MuSe'.
During the wet season, however, this place often belongs to the Leine, which floods the fields of the Garbsener Masch with the spring floods.

View of the Old Continental Factory at the Stichkanal Hannover

Highlight • Monument

From here, at the connection between the branch canal and the Leine descent canal, you can still see the remains of the old Continental factory, including the Conti chimney. There is currently a construction site there, but we can only hope that something will be there later to remind us of the industrial monument.

Mittelland Canal

Highlight • River

with over 300 km, the Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany.
In the Hanover area it goes from Seelze over a waterway cross, here the Leinetal is crossed in an old and a new trip. There is a connection to the leash and the Ihme via the branch channel Hanover-Linden and the connecting channel to the leash. In the further course, the Mittelland Canal crosses the northern parts of Hanover and then meets the Anderten lock.
