The Pinnau around 1650 with all its tributaries and tributaries

The Pinnau is a 41 km long right-hand or eastern tributary of the Elbe in the southern part of Schleswig-Holstein (Germany). In terms of the type of flowing water , it is marshland (type 22).

course

The Pinnau rises in Henstedt-Ulzburg , initially flows to the south and from Pinneberg to the west and flows in the municipality of Haselau from the east into the Elbe flowing from the southeast .

In its lower reaches, the Pinnau forms the border between the Haseldorfer Marsch in the south and the Seestermüher Marsch in the north.

Hydrology

The water level of the Pinnau depends on the tide up to Pinneberg, as the stretch of the Elbe estuary, which is influenced by the tidal range , presses the water into the estuaries. A barrage at the estuary has been protecting the hinterland from storm surges since 1969 .

Tributaries

Tributaries of the Pinnau include:

history

The Pinnau was formerly called Ütristina and later Aue to Ueterst . During the Allerkind flood on December 28, 1248, it changed its course to the current Pinnau bed.

About the Pinnau also the second oldest functioning leads Swing Bridge Germany, the swing bridge Klevendeich , 1887 in Moor Reger Klevendeich was built in the district and as a cultural monument under monument stands.

Until the beginning of 1960 the river was one of the most polluted rivers in Germany, but the water quality has improved significantly in the meantime.

After storm-like rainfall in the low pressure areas “Freia I to IV” in December 2014, Pinnau, together with the Krückau and the Stör, reached the highest level values ​​ever measured there (2.30 meters above mean water ). These had brought Schleswig-Holstein significantly more rain in the days up to Christmas Eve than the monthly mean in December.

Federal waterway

The Pinnau (Pi) is a federal waterway in the area of ​​responsibility of the Hamburg Waterways and Shipping Office from the southwest edge of the railway bridge in Pinneberg to the confluence with the Pagensander Nebenelbe with km 18.81, at the Elbe km 658.99. It is one of the inland waterways on which the shipping routes regulations apply.

From 1886 to the turn of the century, the Pinnau was expanded from the mouth to Pinneberg and straightened a lot. After 1930 there were further expansion measures below Uetersen. In 1957–1962 the winding estuary was straightened and a 1 km long dam was built.

The storm surge barrier, built in 1969, has a 20 m wide shipping opening with mortise gates , the two side openings, each 8 m wide, have helicopters as locking devices.

It is currently being discussed whether, after the construction of the so-called western bypass of Pinneberg, the Pinnau should lose the status of a federal waterway on the section between Pinneberg and Uetersen , since since about 1930 only the approx. 8 km below Uetersen are important for commercial shipping.

Due to silt deposits, the Pinnau has not been used by commercial ships since Easter 2017, which previously supplied the field mill with paper raw materials.
