About Port of Lübeck
Also known as: Elbe-Lubeck-Kanal, Elbe-Lübeck-Kanal, Elbe-Trave Kanal
Lübeck is a Baltic Sea port situated on the Trave River. It serves as a key transshipment point for general cargo and containers. The port is accessible via the Elbe-Lübeck Canal, connecting it to the North Sea.
Background
The Elbe–Lübeck Canal is an artificial waterway in eastern Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It connects the rivers Elbe and Trave, creating an inland water route across the drainage divide from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea. The canal includes seven locks and runs for a length of 64 kilometres (40 mi) between the cities of Lübeck in the north and Lauenburg in the south by way of the Mölln lakes. The modern canal was built in the 1890s to replace the Stecknitz Canal, a medieval watercourse linking the same two rivers.Current Conditions
