history

The Mittelland Canal near Niedernwöhren went into operation around 1916, after the first lands had been built between 1912 and 1914. The formerly independent municipality of Pollhagen was thus divided into two parts. After the First World War and in the inter-war period , businesses slowly settled, mainly for the handling of building materials, agricultural products and coal.

The Reichsnährstandsilo was built in Pollhagen as part of the war armament for World War II . Today's Raiffeisen Landbund has been operating the port of Wiehagen since 1935, which remained undamaged during the war. In April 1945 the ports were initially occupied by the British Army, but were returned in 1946 and the communities concluded long-term lease agreements with the respective operators.

In the 1960s, the transhipment points were modernized in the course of upgrading and expanding the canal.

With the incorporation of Pollhagen in 1974, the second port of Niedernwöhren was added.

Since the 2000s, the Niedernwöhren harbors have repeatedly hit the headlines, mainly due to conflagrations with high levels of property damage.

  • In Wiehagen there was a fire in September 2006 in the local composting plant at the port, which is, however, partly to the west in the area of Meerbeck .
  • In 2012 there was both a deflagration in a silo and a fire in a pellet system.
  • On December 14 and / or 16, 2015, one or two other fires occurred on board ships lying in port. The press reports and deployment reports of the rescue workers are contradicting this, whether this happened in the port of Wiehagen, on the Pollhagen site, or on both in close chronological order.

Commerce and infrastructure

Today there are small industrial areas at the ports of Niedernwöhren, which supplement the port facilities with important infrastructure. The ports are mainly set up for the handling of building materials, forest and agricultural products, fertilizers and compost . The ports are operated by Raiffeisen Landbund eG and the central organic composting plant in the Schaumburg district. Around 1,400 forest and agricultural businesses from the area handle their goods there.

A mobile crane , conveyor belts and handling equipment for bulk goods, e.g. grain, are kept there. At the quay walls, three motorized goods ships with a draft of up to 4 m can moor and be handled at the same time. There is a turning bay to the west of Wiehagener Hafen for ships up to 70 m in length and in Pollhagen two more large motor freight ships can be idle on the opposite bank .

Passenger shipping also rarely uses the Wiehagen area. The harbors are only suitable for short stopovers for recreational boating.

traffic

Local roads connect the ports to the federal highway 65, which runs a few kilometers to the south, and the federal highway 2 . The parts of the port 600 and 1,300 m away have sporadic public transport connections.

There are no rail connections in either port for freight or passenger traffic.
