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. Until the 19th century, there was also a considerable amount of rafting and steamships .
Between 1907 and 1912 the Mittelland Canal and the Hannover-Linden branch canal were built near Seelze. As early as 1915 there were three loading points on the Mittelland Canal and five on the Hannover-Linden branch canal. The canal that allowed continuous operation between the Weser and the Ems was finally pierced in 1916, towards the Leine in 1917. The Lands in Letter were equipped with rail connections from the start. Despite the First World War and the global economic crisis, industry quickly settled at the ports and a shipyard was also established. When Riedel-de Haën AG settled in Seelze during World War II due to the war, a rail connection was also established on the northern Seelze in 1943.
In the 1960s, in the course of upgrading and expanding the canal, the transshipment points were modernized, and in some cases their location and use changed. The Seelze Ost loading point became the marina, and the Lohnde shipyard was later rededicated as a marina. These ports no longer met the contemporary requirements for motorized goods ships , but continue to serve well with the existing equipment for excursion and leisure shipping.
Further expansion work was carried out in the early 1980s. The safety barrier at Lohnde was completely rebuilt, offset by 200 m, the WSA harbor was built and the Leine crossing was given a second, wider fairway (new route).
In February 2015, a fatal accident occurred on a push boat on the bridge near the Seelze marina .
Commerce and infrastructure
Today the ports of Seelze consist of several locations, the facilities of which are specially adapted to the respective purposes and each have their own operators. In addition to the berths at Gümmer, there is a bunker at the canal junction in Lohnde. In 1986, the Braunschweig Waterways and Shipping Office set up a branch in Lohnde for service and work boats and built its own small port.
The former Lohnde shipyard and the Seelze Ost loading point are now well-equipped marinas.
There is an oil port in Letter and a few hundred meters further on the steel port with its own rail connection.
The chemical port in the north is operated by Honeywell Specialty Chemicals Seelze , which also has its own rail connection.
traffic
Local roads open up all parts of the port to federal motorway 2 . The public transport or rail transport connections are excellent. Excursion and passenger shipping is handled at the former shipyard .
