As Illerkanal two water channels are called, which for energy parallel to the Iller were built in the years from 1910 and in the years 1919 to 1927. The EnBW , the LEW and other companies operate more with him hydroelectric power plants .

course

The upstream canal structure begins as a left branch from the Iller near Mooshausen , a district of Aitrach , and is returned to the Iller after about 20 kilometers near Kirchberg an der Iller . In this section there are four EnBW Illerkraftwerke : IKW II near Tannheim , IKW III near Unteropfingen , IKW IV near Dettingen and the small hydropower plant Mooshausen.

The second Illerkanal, which was completed in 1910, branches off approx. 900 meters downstream at Filzingen , a district of Altenstadt (Iller), to the right of the Iller and flows into the Danube after approx. 31 kilometers in Neu-Ulm . In the upper part, "Untere Iller AG" (UIAG), a subsidiary of LEW and E.ON Wasserkraft , operates three hydropower plants in Altenstadt , Untereichen and Au . After an outflow towards the Iller at canal kilometer 12, the Illerkanal is temporarily also referred to as the "Wieland Canal", as it runs directly through the premises of the Wieland works , which operate a company-owned hydropower plant on their premises. In the city of Neu-Ulm, the Stadtwerke Ulm / Neu-Ulm (SWU) operate the Ludwigsfeld hydropower plant and the Neu-Ulm hydropower plant.

In the last section, shortly before the confluence with the Danube, there is the canoe slalom course of the "Ulmer Paddler", which is also used by the association "Ulmer Kanufahrer eV".

history

In the years 2010 to 2012, the existing bridge over the left-hand Illerkanal and the A7 near Kirchdorf an der Iller was demolished and a new bridge was built for around 6 million euros . In the following year, 2013, the owner renewed the inlet structure on the Illerkanal near the Mooshausen weir. That is why the canal was drained to the Tannheim power station.
