Shipping on the leash was said to have been operated upstream to Elze as early as the time of Charlemagne . However, it can only be proven from the end of the 14th century between Hanover and Bremen and - with long interruptions - up to the beginning of the 16th century: During this time, the boatmen had to reckon with interference from the aristocratic neighbors and competing sovereigns to overcome other difficulties such as shallows , weirs , watermills and tariffs .

The imports into the later royal seat of Hanover, which were unloaded at the pile in front of Hanover , consisted in particular of cloth , fish, leather, hides, pitch as well as butter and cheese, in the opposite direction mainly grain, flour and malt left the city.

After more than 200 years of interruption, shipping was resumed in 1740, and the storage area was relocated to Linden on Blumenauer Strasse , the later location of the Ihmezentrum .

Shipping increased further towards the end of the 18th century. Around 1800 20 mast and main ships anchored in Hanover, but also smaller ships, the so-called " bulls ".

After the Napoleonic Wars , shipping on the linen was again boosted, especially by Johann Egestorff : From 1816 onwards, he had two ships a week carrying lime and marl downriver from Linden , sugar cane and other freight upriver . Egestorff employ up to 20 raftsmen and boatmen for this purpose . In addition, some of the ships were pulled ( grained ) from the bank by horses and boatmen .

The commissioning of the Hanover-Bremen railway line in 1847 led to an early end to the transport of goods and goods on the leash. But the Bremer Schiff inn in Linden , for example, was a reminder of the port until well into the 20th century .
