Leineabstieg Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Leine Descent Lock is located within the connecting canal from the Mittelland Canal to the Leine River; it allows access from the level of the MLK to the level of the dammed Leine. Today, the canal is used only by passenger ships and pleasure boats; it formerly served as a connection to the long-vanished factories at the level of today's Ihme Center.

The connecting channel to the line (VKL), formerly also leash channel or Leineabstiegskanal, connects the Mittellandkanal with the leash (Wikipedia).

At this point the Ihme flows into the leash ~ even if it looks the other way around.
Little Ihme was given the task of protecting the city center from flooding at the Maschsee at Schnellen Graben, i.e. she transports a lot of water from the leash through linden trees and is suddenly much larger there than it is in Ricklingen. Actually the Ihme is only a brook for most of its way, and the Leine the much more water-carrying river, but to protect the city this ratio was reversed over the last few kilometers of the Ihme. The water from the Leine, which was diverted at Schnellen Graben, can now be found in its actual river bed.

Königsworther Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Königsworth Bridge is arguably one of the most beautiful in all of Hanover. This segmental arch bridge, faced with natural stone, was built towards the end of the 19th century. Particularly unique are the sea creatures with their lavish ornamentation, sculpted by Carl Dopmeyer – a fantastic relic of urban grandeur from the fin de siècle.

One has a three-water view - the feet, on the left the line descent canal, on the right the line. Anglers are always sitting here on a leash and children feed the ducks and swans.

The Leine-Heide cycle path meanders through the boggy landscape of the linen mesh. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the river and the lush meadows.
