The Wandse (also known as Eilbek in the lower reaches ) is a river in northern Germany .

Origin of name

The current name "Wandse" is based on the place name of today's Hamburg district of Wandsbek , but it is a regression, since the place name - the oldest traditional form of the name is "Wantesbeke" - is based on the original name of the water. As of the origin of the waters name again two theories: the older theory led the qualifier on as. Wanda for "change", "border" back. However, the fact that a genitive S would have been expected in the compound speaks against this. The more recent theory therefore assumes that the defining word is based on the personal name "wall".

Until the beginning of the 19th century, the river was called "Mühlenstrom" and "Mühlenbek" because it drove up to eight water mills at times, six of them in the Wandsbek area. The river has only had its current name since around 1820.

General course

The Wandse rises west of the village of Siek in the Stormarn district in Schleswig-Holstein and flows into the Alster in the center of Hamburg . It includes the Braaker Au in Höltigbaum , the Stellmoorer spring river in the Stellmoorer Tunneltal , the Stellau in Rahlstedt , the Berner Au in Farmsen and the Rahlau in Tonndorf . From the mill pond in Wandsbek it is called Eilbek and flows over the Eilbek Canal, the Kuhmühlenteich and the Mundsburg Canal in Hohenfelde into the Outer Alster .

The Wandse flows through or touches the areas of the following municipalities:

In the area of Hinschenfelde , between the oil mill and the former wood mill, the Wandse flows through the Wandsbek Botanical Special Garden and the Eichtal Park .

Mill pond

On the western border of the Wandsbek district, the Wandse flows into the historic mill pond, which was dammed in the 16th century by Heinrich Rantzau, then Wandsbek's lord of the castle . The associated mill burned down in 1906. The area around the pond has been redesigned as a mill pond park since 2011 .

Eilbek

To the west of the weir of the mill pond in Wandsbek, the river bears the name Eilbek. The former border between Hamburg and Wandsbek ran here. The name Eilbek is derived from Ylenbeke, the brook of the Ihlen, the leech . Since the 13th century the name of the place and the water body was written with -ei . Leeches were caught here for medical purposes until the end of the 19th century. The river crosses Friedrichsberger Park , which stretches between the Friedrichsberg S-Bahn station and Friedrichsberger Brücke .

Eilbek Canal

From the Maxstraße , the Wandse was canalized between 1854 and 1900 and is therefore called Eilbek Canal. From the turning basin (Löschplatz Lortzingstraße) east of Von-Essen-Straße in the Barmbek district there was a regular service with Alster steamers for almost 50 years, from 1890 to 1939 . Another landing stage for the ships was on Richardstrasse.

Asp , pikeperch , pike and perch are the most common predatory fish species in the Eilbek Canal, while carp , tench , roach and the very large number of bream and alandes are found among the non- predatory fish .

Starting in 2009, ten berths for houseboats were set up on the north bank of the Eilbek Canal as part of the “Living on the Water” pilot project . There are five berths in the section between Wagnerstrasse and Richardstrasse (Barmbek-Süd) and five more in the section between Finkenau and Lerchenfeld (Uhlenhorst). The houseboats are moored to dolphins and have a connection to the sewer system, power supply and garbage disposal on the bank. The houseboats are standardized in terms of their base and are 6 meters wide, in order not to obstruct shipping, by 10 meters in length. So that they can still fit under the bridges, they have a maximum height of 3.25 meters above the water level. The upper storey may only take up half of the basement area in order to allow pedestrians a view of the Eilbek Canal. The living space is 130 to 160 square meters. Rent is paid for the berth. The boats are used as offices or as apartments.

The Fahrradstraße in Uferstraße and Lortzingstraße has been running parallel to the Eilbek Canal since 2012 as part of Veloroute 6 (Hamburg) , which leads from the city via Dulsberg to Farmsen.

The Hamburg University of Fine Arts, designed by Schumacher, rises on the north bank near Lerchenfeld with a remarkable Art Nouveau window in the foyer.

Cow mill pond

Before the canal flows into the Alster, it flows through the Kuhmühlenteich. The St. Gertrud Church is striking and picturesque on its north bank in Hamburg-Uhlenhorst . The geographical center of Hamburg is located between the church tower and the Kuhmühlenteich. On its southern bank in Hamburg-Hohenfelde is the Maiboomsche Liebesbuche from the 19th century on the Eilenau / Lessingstrasse property . Love wishes and hopes are expressed there on slips of paper on a board.

The 150 to 200 cm deep cow mill pond, which consists mainly of muddy ground, offers good living conditions, especially for carp, roach and bream. In the area of ​​St. Gertrudskirche there should have been a large standing pike for a long time.

The Schürbek flowed into the Kuhmühlenteich until 1854. It dried up when the Uhlenhorst was filled up . A street name still reminds of it.

The Kuhmühlenteichbrücke of the ring line of the Hamburger Hochbahn runs over its western end and offsets the Kuhmühlenbrücke of the street Kuhmühle.

Mundsburg Canal

After the Kuhmühlenteich, the water changes its name to Mundsburg Canal. At the outflow of the cow mill pond was the cow mill, which was named after the surrounding cow pastures. Armgartstraße running parallel to the canal was named after the first miller around 1480 Armgart. The mill survived the demolition orders of the Hamburg French era , when in 1813 all the buildings in front of the city were demolished in order to maintain a clear field of fire. The mill was demolished in 1874. The Mundsburg Canal separates the districts of Uhlenhorst and Hohenfelde. There is an open-air café right on the canal bank at Mundsburger Brücke.

It flows into the Outer Alster

The Mundsburg Canal is crossed by the Schwanenwikbrücke shortly before it flows into the Outer Alster . The banks at the confluence are laid out like a park and accessible to pedestrians. The sculpture by Edwin Scharff from 1953: Three men in a boat (three rowers) is near the confluence, but already belongs to the bank of the Outer Alster.

Water use

In the area of ​​the Wandse there were numerous water mills : The Rahlstedter Mühle, Loher Mühle, Pulverhofmühle (copper mill), oil mill, Eichtalmühle, wood mill (Helbingmühle), Rantzaumühle and cow mill.

Renaturation

The Wandse is the subject of the “Forelle 2010” project. In the project, which was started with funding from the HEW Environment Foundation, the BUND Hamburg and the Wandsbek district office are striving to improve the water quality of the Wandse to such an extent that brown trout will live here again by 2010 . In 2007 the following fish species were found in the upper and middle reaches of the Wandse: three-spined stickleback , nine-spined stickleback , gudgeon , brook loach , brook trout and perch . In order to promote the occurrence of brown trout in particular, the structure was improved, stone and gravel beds were created for the gravel spawners and a naturally meandering stream was modeled. This has made it possible for the Wandse to be a summer-cold river again with natural trout stocks in many areas.

Recreation area

Along the water between Schwanenwik (Uhlenhorst) and Stein-Hardenberg-Straße (Tonndorf) there is always a footpath on one or both sides, which is also used by joggers and cyclists. From Schwanenwik to the level of the Friedrichsberg S-Bahn station, the Hamburg Veloroute 6 runs north of Mundsburger or Eilbekkanal , u. a. with two designated bicycle roads in sections of Uferstrasse and Lortzingstrasse.
