The Hofweg Canal is a canal in the Hamburg district of Uhlenhorst . It runs in a north-south direction along the street of the same name and thus connects the Osterbek Canal ( Lage ) with the Uhlenhorster Canal ( Lage ) over a distance of 650 meters. In the northern section from the Osterbek Canal to the ferry bridge it is 15 meters wide, in the southern section to the Uhlenhorster Canal it is only 10 meters. From the southern part, about halfway down the Hofweg Canal, an approximately 105 meter long branch canal branches off to the west.
In the middle of the 19th century , a consortium led by the Hamburg entrepreneur and soil speculator August Abendroth worked to develop the area near the Alster , which later became the Uhlenhorst district. For this purpose, canals were created for drainage, most of which were later filled in again. The Hofweg Canal and the Uhlenhorster Canal remained in existence.
Four bridges cross the canal: Grillparzerbrücke , Fährbrücke, Karlstraßenbrücke and Gustav-Freytag-Brücke.
