history
When the construction of the Mittelland Canal reached Wendeburg between 1927 and 1930, there was initially no port of its own there . On March 29, 1931, a freighter anchored near Sophiental for the first time to load building material that was no longer required and was to be unloaded in Amsterdam. After further sections of the canal had been completed, shipping to Braunschweig began on October 18, 1933. However, the official inauguration ceremony of the Braunschweig port did not take place until May 13, 1934. For many years it was the eastern end point of the Mittelland Canal.
Since then, an inn was established in Sophiental right on the Midland Canal in 1933, one was there jetty for the excursion and recreational boating built. Until 2002, Sophiental was approached twice a week by the MS Brunswik from the port of Braunschweig . Before that, the passenger ship MS Weserstolz drove on this route.
Immediately next to it was the site of the Braunschweiger Motorboot Club from 1964 with a boat landing stage, slipway and a 1.6 ton crane as a fixed portal with monorail trolley . The motorboat club moved to its own port in Watenbüttel in the early 1970s . The crane was also moved to the new location. He still does a good job in the Marina Watenbüttel today .
The Bortfeld mooring opposite the branching off of the branch canal to Salzgitter was created when it was built. The barges that were still idle at the time were rearranged here for onward transport with the state monopoly tugs by unhitching and "unpacking" them into tow trains . Today up to ten large motor freight ships can be berthed at this berth at the same time, but there is a lack of reliable access roads and there are no supply or disposal options. In the 1960s, gravel for West Berlin was occasionally loaded on the south bank, between the Salzgitter branch canal and the road bridge for the L475 . The generous dimensioning of the junction allows pushing convoys up to 185 m in length to be turned without the barges having to be uncoupled.
After the gravel pit was abandoned, the Marina Bortfeld was built there in the late 2000s and opened in 2014. The marina has its own slipway, jetties and all the usual supply and disposal options for small vehicles . Smaller ships up to 5 m wide and 2 m draft can also enter by prior arrangement. In addition, several dozen privately owned landing stages were gradually built. There are shops and restaurants nearby.
