history
The leash was an important trade route as early as the Carolingian era . There was rowing, pecking , graining and sailing, as well as fishing. Old documents from this time prove this. Since the 12th century, Hanover, as the terminal port on the Leine, has had stacking rights. Around 1241 trade as far as Flanders is documented.
From the 13th to the 16th century, the Stapel in Hanover was the port area . Not many records from this epoch have survived, but it is known that one of the linen locks near Marienwerder was renewed in 1506.
After the turmoil of the Thirty Years War , the port facilities were completely rebuilt and the Ernst August Canal was created. Until the 19th century, there was also a considerable amount of rafting and steamships . The Ernst-August Canal was in operation until the beginning of the 20th century and only lost its importance when the Leine was straightened and the Leine Harbor was built in the 1910s . This was only in operation for about ten years, was abandoned in the 1930s and completely disappeared in World War II .
In the period from 1907 to 1916 the Mittelland Canal , the Hanover-Linden branch canal , the Brinker Hafen and the Misburger Hafen were built in and around Hanover , which was temporarily the eastern end port of the canal when the First World War broke out . As early as 1915, there were ten loading points in Hanover on the Mittelland Canal and on the Hannover-Linden, Brink and Misburg canals. The passage through the canal, which enabled continuous operation between the Weser and Ems , finally took place in 1916, towards the Leine in 1917. Russian prisoners of war were already used for forced labor to complete the Leine harbor .
The ports were equipped with rail connections from the start. Despite the First World War and the Great Depression, further industry quickly settled and a shipyard was also established.
In the 1920s, the Mittelland Canal was built further to the east via the Anderten lock . In the interwar period , it reached Peine in 1929 , Braunschweig in 1933 and finally the Elbe in 1938, whereby the handling volumes rose steadily.
When the damage increased during the Second World War due to the war and the labor force became scarce, the operations of the war-important industry located in Hanover and in the ports again with forced labor and prisoners of war were maintained. These were for example in the sub-camp Hannover-Limmer , the women's camp at Brinker port, in the concentration camp Hannover-sticks , the concentration camp Hannover-Langenhagen , interned Seelze, Sehnde and Lemmer and in the neighboring towns Garbsen. A memorial plaque at the Brinker Hafen reminds of this today.
At the end of the war, the ports were almost completely blocked by ships sunk by bombs and 90% of the surrounding infrastructure was destroyed. The rest was looted.
After the reconstruction in the 1950s, the transshipment points were modernized in the 1960s as part of upgrading and expansion work on the canal, and in some cases their location and use also changed. The List shipyard and the Misburg marl loading point became yacht harbors in the 1990s, and a dam was built over the abandoned Leinehafen in 1959. These ports and the landing stages on the Ihme no longer met the contemporary requirements of commercial shipping, but they continue to serve well with the existing equipment for excursion and leisure shipping.
Further expansion work was carried out from the 1980s to the 2000s. The fairway and the freight ports on the Mittelland Canal were continuously dredged step by step for ship sizes of 110 × 10 m and 4 m draft . The WSP harbor was added and the Leine crossing was given a second, wider fairway. (New ride)
Commerce and infrastructure
Today the ports of Hanover consist of several locations, the facilities of which are specially adapted to the respective purposes, and some have their own operators. (see individual articles) The commercial cargo handling is coordinated by Städtische Häfen Hannover GmbH (SHH) with several subsidiaries. In 2016, the urban ports handled 3.9 million tons, 1.3 million tons of which were shipping.
The passenger shipping is organized by the Hannoversche Personenschiffahrts GmbH .
The many smaller facilities and moorings for sport and leisure boating each have their own operators and are mostly organized as clubs.
The water police have their own premises and the upstream water of the Leine weir is also used as a pier for construction and work boats.
