The Britzer Connection Canal (BVK) is a federal waterway of waterway class IV with restrictions in Berlin and belongs legally to the Teltow Canal . Until March 30, 1992 it was called Britzer Zweigkanal . The waterway is an abbreviation for shipping from the Teltow Canal directly to the Spree-Oder waterway (Treptower Spree) and the ports in the city center . The canal is 3.39 kilometers long and was built between 1900 and 1906. The Berlin Waterways and Shipping Office is responsible for administration .
Like the Teltow Canal, there was also an electric towing railway on the Britz connecting canal until the end of the Second World War . The total water area of the canal is 11.7 hectares .
On the bank of the canal, a stele commemorates Chris Gueffroy , the last refugee to be shot by East German border guards at the wall . He died on February 5, 1989, just a few months before the Berlin Wall opened, while attempting to escape from East to West Berlin on the Canal.
