history

The Mittelland Canal reached Bückeburg around 1916 and the first Lände went into operation there in 1917. Mainly for the handling of building materials, agricultural products and coal this was created in Berenbusch . A siding was also made and in the course of the armament for the Second World War , five mighty storage buildings and two silos of the Army Supply Main Office were built. In April 1945 the facilities, which remained undamaged during the war, were occupied by the British Army and continued to be used. In 1954 the site was returned to the Federal Republic of Germany.

In the 1960s, in the course of upgrading and expanding the canal, the transshipment point was modernized, the storage building of which has been used by Raiffeisen Landbund eG ever since.
With the incorporation of Rusbend , the second port of Bückeburg was added in 1974.

In 2008 the port of Bückeburg merged with five other ports to form the HafenBand on the Mittelland Canal .

In the 2010s, the ports hit the headlines due to accidents with high levels of property damage. In 2012, the mobile excavator there fell on a sailing yacht in Rusbend and then into the water. In Berenbusch there was a fire in 2015 in the wood office at the port.
The storage buildings in Berenbusch were partially demolished in 2014 and the track systems were revitalized.

Commerce and infrastructure

Today there is an industrial area at the port of Berenbusch, which complements the port facility with important infrastructure. The port is mainly set up for the handling of building materials, forest and agricultural products, fertilizers and solid fuels such as coal and wood chips . It is operated by Hafen Bückeburg-Berenbusch GmbH, Raiffeisen Landbund eG and the Tönsmeier Group. The settlement of further transshipment companies is planned.
There is a mobile crane , conveyor belts and handling facilities for bulk goods such as grain. At the quay wall, three large goods motor ships with a draft of up to 4 m can moor and be handled at the same time. There is a turning bay for ships up to 110 m in length and another five ships can be idle on the opposite bank.

In the port area there are 17,000 m² of open-air storage space and 7,000 m² of indoor storage as well as two silos. The Holzkontor uses another 25,000 m² of storage space.
In 2010, a record throughput of 200,000 t was achieved in the Bückeburg ports, although this dropped significantly in the 2010s; In 2013 it was only 57,700 t.

At the port in Rusbend there is also a turning bay, a mobile crane and free storage areas. A transshipment rarely takes place there. The main user is recreational shipping , which uses the area east of the port as dry berths . The port area in Rusbend now also serves as a party mile .

The port of Bückeburg is a member of the working group for public inland ports in Northern Germany and is also planning a collaboration with the RegioPort Weser projected a few kilometers to the northwest .

traffic

Local roads connect the ports to the federal highway 482 and the federal highway 65 . In public transport , all parts of the port are supplied within a reasonable distance.
Only the Berenbusch state with a pull-out track from the Hanover – Braunschweig railway line is connected to the Deutsche Bahn rail network. This also leads past the Bückeburg Army Airfield, 6 km to the east . Regular passenger or freight traffic does not take place there, or only in well-founded exceptional or emergency cases.
