The former course of the Alster was straightened from 1913 to around 1918 from Ohlsdorf to Winterhude . In addition to the ring canal as the remainder of the Alster old course , the three Braband Canal , Skagerrak Canal and Island Canal running parallel to the Alster were also created in order to enable more construction on the water.
