Dradenau
The Dradenau was an arm of the river and a river island of the Elbe in Hamburg .
The Dradenau stream arm (meaning "the fast floodplain") was originally part of the floodplain near Finkenwerder , which still exists today and which broke its course across the fragmented Gorieswerder from the southern Elbe to the northern Elbe in the 13th century by storm surges . It developed into a branch of the Elbe and separated Finkenwerder from the rest of the Gorieswerder. At times it was a busy shipping route. It partially silted up around 1800.
The Elbe island Dradenau , also spelled "Tradenau" in the 19th century, got its name from this branch of the river. It was surrounded by the Köhl fleet , the Aue and the Dradenauer Haken and was diked in two sections, which were called Klein- and Groß-Dradenau. The island of Dradenau was sold to Hamburg by Count Otto von Holstein in 1445 . Around 1840 it was a lease estate with two leasehold farms and 66 residents. As part of the Hamburg port expansion, the Köhlfleet north of the Elbe island Dradenau was filled in up to the Köhlbrand and the Dradenau was added to the port area of Hamburg-Waltershof . The island was between today's Dradenaustrasse and the Dradenauhafen.
On the Dradenau, the city of Hamburg u. a. a sewage treatment plant, a wind power plant, an underground heat storage pilot plant and is planning a peak load heating plant there that will be operated with natural gas.
