The Misburger Hafen is an inland port on the Misburg branch of the Mittelland Canal in Hanover , Lower Saxony .
location
The Misburg port is located about 9 km east of the city center of Hanover on the border of the districts Misburg-Nord and Misburg-Süd at an altitude of 50.3 m above sea level. NN . It is reached via the Misburg branch canal, which branches off from the Mittelland Canal at km 171.6 north. Around 600 m after the junction, there is initially a turning bay for ships up to 70 m in length, and after about one kilometer the southern transshipment area begins . By then, the port has been developed for large motor cargo ships with a draft of up to 4 m.
Smaller ships and boats can continue to the east. The marina for small vehicles is located at km 2.3 north of the branch canal and at km 2.4 the branch canal forks into the approaches to the two port basins at km 3.3 west and at km 3.4 east.
history
The Misburg port has been in operation since the beginning of the 1910s and was then temporarily the "terminal port" of the Mittelland Canal. The Hannoversche Portland Cement factory AG founded for their cement throughput in 1912 Misburger Hafenbetriebsgesellschaft , the former counties at the Hannover and Burgdorf and the community Misburg involved. The first managing director was Max Kuhlemann until 1929 , his son Christian Kuhlemann succeeded.
In addition to the railway connection, the port had also been connected to the Hanover tram network since 1917 . The Üstra operated freight trams there on a large scale until 1953 and handled not only cement but also considerable quantities of sugar, flour and coal in the Misburg harbor.
Initially built primarily as a transshipment point for the local cement industry and other building materials, the port developed in the following years into a logistics center for trimodal ship / rail / road transport for the region around Hanover, Braunschweig and Hildesheim . In addition to cement and additional products, bulk goods were mainly handled.
In the course of the further construction of the Mittelland Canal in a southerly direction, the access to a branch canal branching off to the east became.
During the air raids on Hanover , the Deurag-Nerag oil refinery was one of the main targets of allied bombers. The branch canal and the port, as well as parts of the refineries, were covered with camouflage nets to make orientation difficult for the approaching aircraft. From 1940 there were repeated air raids on the Deurag-Nerag, some of which put the plants out of operation for months. On August 24, 1944, over 300 bombs set the refinery on fire. 120 bombs hit the port area, three barges were sunk. On September 11, 1944, the port received another 170 hits, and four more barges were sunk.
In the 1960s and 1980s, the canal was comprehensively upgraded and some of the facilities were renewed. Since then, ships with a greater unloading depth have been able to moor on the southern part of the Misburg harbor .
On November 25, 2008, during dredging work to deepen the fairway in the port, a bomb dud from the Second World War was uncovered . This was brought with a barge to the area of the marina and defused there.
On March 18, 2009, a large fire destroyed a 100 × 80 m maintenance hall of Jungenthal Waggon GmbH on the harbor area. Despite one of the largest firefighting operations in recent Hanover history, damage of around 6 million euros was incurred.
There were two decommissioned cranes on the port area from 1918, some of which were used until the end of the 1980s. The city was considering rebuilding a crane from the two ailing cranes and erecting it as a memorial in another port facility. On June 7, 2014, the viewing platform for the monument consisting of a restored crane was opened.

The border South takes about 20 ha and m has a shore length of 420th There is a pounded quay length of 280 m with a DEMAG semi- portal crane from the 1950s. A push convoy up to 135 m in length can be moored and handled in the (hardly managed) western harbor basin . There are pumps and a pipeline there . In the east port basin there is a further 270 m quay length, which is equipped with a roofed dry transshipment point as well as a crane bridge and open storage areas so that two motorized goods ships can be handled at the same time.
The track length of the port railway is 6,840 m. Two of the port's own diesel locomotives move the wagons. The port is connected to the rail network of the Deutsche Bundesbahn via the Misburg-Hafen tariff station ( Hanover freight bypass ). At the south end, the tracks lead in two lanes to the pier, at the west port basin 50 m overland and at the east port 100 m overland to the ship / rail transshipment.
