Barmbeker branch canal
The Barmbeker Stichkanal is a canal in the Hamburg districts of Barmbek-Nord and Winterhude . It is 900 meters long and usually 30 meters wide. Only in the southern third is it 22 meters wide. The canal connects the Osterbek Canal with the Goldbek Canal near Hamburg's city park . Like the other canals around the Alster , it was built in connection with the construction of the Hamburger Hochbahnring .
The canal branches off from the Osterbek Canal in a northerly direction ( Lage ). After 290 meters it crosses under the branch canal bridge over which the Wiesendamm leads, after which the canal widens. After another 150 meters there is the bridge of the ring line ( underground line 3 ) of the Hamburg underground between the underground stations Barmbek and Saarlandstraße , after another 230 meters the Hellbrookstraße bridge (until 1960 Hellbrook bridge) for Hellbrookstraße, where the canal from Barmbek-Nord changes to Winterhude. Finally the canal ends at the Goldbek Canal, which connects at a right angle from the west ( location ).
The canal was built between 1910 and 1915 and marks the climax of the water-side development of the districts of Barmbek and Winterhude. It served to transport the coal to the Hamburger Hochbahn power station and as a cooling water connection for this power station.
The canal runs along the premises of the Hamburg subway main workshop and the former Hamburg-Barmbek freight station . In the 1930s, a loading point for coal was built at the freight station so that the gasworks on the Osterbek Canal could be supplied with coal brought in by the railway. After the construction of the freight station, the canal now runs alongside residential developments in the same way as in the Osterbekkanal – branch canal bridge section. To the north of the subway bridge there is a green strip on the western bank, all other bank areas border on areas that are used commercially or for workshops.

After the Second World War , the canal did not acquire any economic importance. In the Hamburg development plan from the 1950s, it was planned to build a city motorway ("Osttangente") on the Barmbek branch canal. The canal is used by Alster steamers and paddlers.
The Barmbeker branch canal is a first-order body of water.
