description

The Schleissheim Canal is part of the north Munich canal system , which goes back largely to Elector Maximilian II Emanuel . It was laid out by court architect Enrico Zuccalli to supply Lustheim Palace and the planned Schleissheim Palace with water from the Isar . Only the slight difference in height of the Munich gravel plain between the Isar outlet at Großlappen (491.3 m above sea level) and the construction site for Schleißheim Palace (484.6 m above sea level) could be used.

The beginning of the canal was laid parallel to the Isar, but with a smaller gradient, so that it ran between several meters of towering dams. Near Dirnismaning , today the southernmost district of Garching, the Schleissheim Canal bends at an angle of about 90 degrees and diverted the water to the north-west to the castles. The harbor basin was built at this knee of the canal, on which an overflow connection to Garching Mühlbach was created. The basin was also surrounded by dams, the remains of which can still be seen today.

The port was used to load building materials that were needed for the construction of the Schleissheim palace complex. Rafts brought wood , nails , tuff and limestone down the Isar . Clay pits near Ismaning made the bricks for the buildings. From a raft landing on the Isar, which was built south of Garching at the nearest point on the river bank, the materials were brought on barrows to the Garching harbor, located about 1 kilometer west of the Isar. To do this, a small bridge had to be built over the Garching Mühlbach. At the port, the material was loaded onto flat barges, with which it was transported on to the construction site of the palace complex. After the completion of the New Palace in Schleissheim, the harbor basin lost its importance and was abandoned. The canals were used for boat trips to entertain the courtly society until King Ludwig I cut the funds for the maintenance of the boat fleet in 1846.

As part of the Schleissheim Canal, the Garching harbor basin is a listed building as a ground monument.
