history
In addition to the canals in Schleißheim Palace Park, the Würm Canal feeds the Kalterbach and Schwebelbach , which branch off from it to the north. From the south the Schwabenbächl and Feldmochinger Mühlbach flow into the Würm Canal , and the Würmhölzlgraben runs under the canal.
A large part of the Würm water is diverted through the Würm Canal in the direction of Oberschleißheim. A first Würm Canal was built in 1601 to supply the Schwaige Wilhelm V, an agricultural estate near Schleissheim, with additional water from the Würm. In 1690/91 Max Emanuel had a new, straight canal built further north. Together with the Isar-Schleissheim Canal, the Würm Canal was and is the main water supplier for the Schleissheim palace complex and used to be a transport route for building materials. The wooded area along the canal is a registered biotope, the canal itself is a listed building as part of the Schleißheim Canal System .
