history

A trade route near Peine ran along the tranquil Fuhse river as early as Carolingian times . There was rowing, stomping and graining and also fishing. With simple barges, peat , mineral resources, building materials, small livestock and agricultural products could be transported relatively effortlessly over long distances. Since the 12th century, Peine had market , mint and town rights. Not many records from this epoch have survived and in the 14th century shipping on the Fuhse finally came to a complete standstill after a number of newly built watermills severely impaired the waterway. After the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War , knowledge of the formerly convenient transport route had initially faded and was not revived until around 1750, when the Fuhse Canal (Celle) and the Fuhse Canal (Braunschweig) were built. However, despite all efforts, the expansion of the second only reached the floodplain and a continuously navigable connection to the Fuhse was never restored.

Only when the construction of the Mittelland Canal reached Peine between 1921 and 1929 did it become a port again. The city harbor was ceremoniously opened on December 18, 1929, in the middle of the global economic crisis , and in 1931 a rail connection to the existing Peine – Ilsede railway line was immediately built.

For the next four years, Peine was initially the eastern terminal port of the canal before the breakthrough to Braunschweig finally took place in 1933 . Other industries quickly settled in and during the National Socialist era , several Peiner companies were declared to be important war industries . With two 60 m crane bridges, the port was well positioned for the requirements of the local steel industry. Mainly coal and steel and, to a lesser extent, agricultural products were handled.
The completion of the canal to the Elbe in 1938 and the opening of the Salzgitter branch canal in 1940 saw a further increase in transport volumes.
During the Second World War , the steelworks and the refinery were mainly bombed. The damage to the port was limited and in April 1945 it was captured by the US Army . In 1946 operations were resumed under British occupation .

In the 1960s, the canal and port were upgraded and expanded, and in 1974 the Raiffeisen-Lände in Schwicheldt was incorporated into the Peine ports.

Further expansion work in the 1980s enabled greater unloading depths for motorized goods ships , additional berths were created on the north landing and the Peine yacht club pier was also created during this time.

In 2004 one of the two crane bridges collapsed for unknown reasons. In October 2012 there was a fatal work accident while shunting the port railway.

Commerce and infrastructure

Port railway systems

Today the Port of Peines essentially consists of two locations, the facilities of which are specially adapted to the respective purposes, each have their own operators and own resources.
Mainly scrap, steel and coal as well as agricultural products and fertilizers are handled. At the Raiffeisenlände there are silos for grain, fodder and fertilizer, a storage hall and conveyors. The city port is primarily set up to handle steel, scrap and coal. There are several crane systems and, in addition to spacious outdoor storage areas, there are also storage facilities in halls available. The port railway opens up both piers in two trains so that 3–4 ships can be handled at the same time.

traffic

Rather sparingly developed local roads open up all parts of the port to the federal highway 65 and the B 444 , which connects to the BAB 2 north of Peine . The city port is mainly geared towards ship / rail handling. Public transport connections are available 500 m away from the city port and the north. This is also used by passenger shipping.
A maximum of 5–6 small vehicles can moor at the Peine marina.
