The Vering Canal is a navigable canal in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg about 1.6 kilometers (including the Outer Vering Canal 2.0 km) . It was built in 1894 by the contractors Carl and Hermann Vering as a private canal to develop the Reiherstieg district and runs in a north-south direction. At the southern end it is connected to the Reiherstieg , a branch of the Elbe , via the Veringschleuse and the Outer Vering Canal. Originally, there was also a connection to the Ernst August Canal in the north .

When the canal was built, some older drainage ditches ( weather channels ) and natural waterways such as B. included the former estuary of the Stillhorn Elbe and at the same time raised the surrounding area flood-proof. Parallel to the canal, Veringstrasse in the east and Industriestrasse in the west were laid out as land-side access routes for the newly settled industrial companies.
