history
The construction of the Mittelland Canal, initially called the Ems-Weser Canal , began in 1906. On May 13, 1907, the then District Administrator Wilhelm von Ledebur made an initial inquiry to the Lübbeck Mayor Pütz regarding a port for Lübbecke. In early 1908, Mayor Pütz suggested setting up a municipal commission. This commission then started on February 19, 1908 in the town hall of the city of Lübbecke at 11 a.m. It was unanimously agreed that the port should be on the south side of the canal (until 1973, areas north of the canal also belonged to Lübbecke). On May 10, 1909, the city administration informed the Royal Canal Construction Office in Lübbecke that the city wanted a place on the bank. The city had agreed in advance to assume part of the costs of 20,000 marks, provided that the Lübbecke district contributed 10,000 marks. On May 17, 1911, the Royal Building Department of Hanover then granted permission to build a bank unloading point in Lübbecke. On May 10, 1912, the city of Lübbecke and the Royal Canal Construction Office Lübbecke signed a contract for the construction of a two-aisled bank loading point. In May 1914, the city approved funds totaling 3,500 marks and a loan of 20,000 marks for the construction of two loading platforms at the dock. On July 4, 1918, the district committee approved the Lübbeck magistrate to initiate the approval for a participation in the port with reservation. On August 16, 1918, the city councilors agreed in a secret meeting to share half of the district in the operation of the city port including all ancillary facilities, acquisition and recycling of the fiscal land for industrial and other branches.
The mayor of the city of Lübbecke Pütz, lawyer Klug and the cigar manufacturer Blase were commissioned to draft a draft partnership agreement. On February 12, 1919, the Teutoburger Schifffahrtsgesellschaft and the city of Lübbecke signed a contract that provided for the separation from the port administration to the company.
The city leased to the company the port area on the south side of the canal with the associated hinterland. The company took over the administration under the same conditions as the city had concluded with the canal construction administration and the state railway.
Stadtwerke Lübbecke GmbH has owned the port areas since 1975. She has rented this to Lübbecker Hafen GmbH , which operates the port. In 2008, the port of Lübbeck was one of six ports on the Mittelland Canal that merged to form the so-called port band, a cooperation between ports in the district.
