Datteln-Hamm Canal

Highlight (Segment) • River

The canal leads along docks, power plants, former mining facilities, beautiful nature reserves, or leisure facilities such as the Marina in Rünte etc. It is well suited for cycling in flat terrain.

Datteln-Hamm Canal

Highlight • River

Since 1914, the Datteln-Hamm Canal has connected the eastern Ruhr area with the cities of Hamm and Lünen to the West German canal network. From the branch from the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Datteln, it runs south of the Lippe and ends after 47 km at the height of the Hamm-Uentrop power plant. The originally planned continuation to Lippstadt was no longer pursued after the Second World War. Source: WSV. en

Prussia Port

Highlight • Structure

The Preußenhafen, which was once a transshipment point for coal and steel, is still a transshipment point today; but for coffee, cake, beer and sausages. 😜

The Preußenhafen (Prussia Port) is a port built in 1924/1925 and put into operation in the autumn of 1925. It is located on the Datteln-Hamm Canal (canal km 14.16 – 14.34) in Lünen-Süd (Horstmar district).

Originally, it served as a transshipment point for the Preußen coal mine in Lünen and the Gneisenau coal mine in Dortmund-Derne. Its heyday as a coal transshipment point began in 1925, and in the mid-1960s, the port was expanded to its current dimensions. From the late 1980s onward, it declined in importance due to the closure of the coal mines. The former colliery railway line is now the "Gneisenau Trail," a cycle and hiking path that leads past the Preußen spoil heap on the other side of the railway line and on to Derne.[1]

[1] Today it is intensively used for tourism due to its proximity to the Lünen lake park and the Horstmarer See lake, for motor and leisure boats and as a water hiking rest area, as well as a landing stage for the passenger ship "Santa Monika" and as a museum.
