Luisenstadt Canal

It is named after the Luisenstadt district and ran through today's districts of Kreuzberg and Mitte, linking the Landwehr Canal with the River Spree, and serving a central canal basin known as the Engelbecken or Angel's Pool.

The canal is named after Queen Louise, the wife of King Friedrich Wilhelm III.

[1][2] The canal was designed by Peter Joseph Lenné based on earlier plans by Johann Carl Ludwig Schmid and was built between 1848 and 1852.

[1] The canal never attracted significant boat traffic, and due to its slow flow and increasing sewage contamination became stagnant and offensive.
