Nino Klukkert Harbor
The Nino-Klukkert-Hafen , also called Klukkert-Hafen or Nino-Hafen , is located on the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal on Augustastraße at the level of the Gildehauser Weg canal bridge in Nordhorn ( County of Bentheim in Lower Saxony ).
history
The port was opened on June 30, 1904 - a few years after the canal was built - because it was not clear beforehand where the final location would be. Ultimately, the railway overpass was chosen as a construction site that was an ideal transshipment point for freight. The harbor basin is around 100 meters long and 25 meters wide and thus offered four barges space for handling goods. On the western side it was possible to load directly to and from the train. On the east side, the horse-drawn carriages drove in via Hafenstrasse and left again via Bentheimer Strasse. The construction costs amounted to 64,000 marks; A large part of this sum was taken over by the local textile industry. The Lingen- based company August Klukkert built a warehouse around 1910 for handling grain and animal feed. The companies Niehues & Dütting ( NINO ) and Povel also used the systems. At the end of the 1920s , the port was used to deliver building materials for Povel-Werk II. When Niehues & Dütting set up its own coal transshipment point, the port lost its economic importance after it was no longer of any importance as a goods transshipment point before the Second World War . The harbor basin still served as a turning area for the coal barges. After the domestic industry switched its firing to natural gas in 1965, shipping on the canal was stopped. This had already happened in the Netherlands in 1961. As a result, NINO AG separated the port entrance with two sheet piling and used it as a service water storage tank.
Todays situation
At the end of the 1990s , plans were developed to reactivate the sewer network (Kanalvision); The Nino-Klukkert port was also integrated into this framework. With a donation from the Niedersächsische Sparkassenstiftung (€ 135,000) and a financial contribution from the federal government, the state, the district and the city (€ 265,000), the area was freed from wild growth and the port basin cleaned and restored. The Nino-Klukkert-Hafen was opened for the second time on May 6, 2006 by the then Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, Christian Wulff . A new part was a slipway . Boats can be brought into the water with this inclined ramp.
The Nino-Klukkert-Hafen is a part of the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal including the accompanying avenues under monument protection and is a listed building according to Section 3 (3) NDSchG .
In addition to the Nino-Klukkert-Hafen, Nordhorn also had the former city harbor in the city center as well as the landing stages of the three large textile companies Povel on the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal, NINO (Nordhorn-Almelo Canal at the level of the NINO administration building, Bentheimer Straße) and Rawe ("Rawe investors", Ems-Vechte-Kanal at the level of Wietmarscher Straße).
With the exception of the Nino-Klukkert-Hafen and the Rawe-Pier, no harbors or landing stages are visible in Nordhorn or were not integrated into the canal vision.
