April 11, 2026, Wendschott Canal Bridge

The Wendschott Canal Bridge (officially often referred to as Bridge 440) is a distinctive structure in Wolfsburg that crosses the Mittelland Canal. It is of particular importance for walkers, cyclists, and tourists, as it represents a central connection between the Wendschott district and the recreational area around the Allersee.

The canal was the decisive reason why the Volkswagen factory was built precisely here at the end of the 1930s. It enabled the cost-effective transport of coal for its own power plant, as well as the shipment of vehicles and components. Even today, the VW power plant with its four distinctive chimneys directly on the canal bank shapes the city's skyline.

The restaurant is a nice destination for a bike ride along the Mittelland Canal.

The Drömling is a sparsely populated lowland area of around 340 km² on the border between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. Today, the lowland with the Mittelland Canal and the rivers Aller and Ohre is a refuge for rare or endangered animal and plant species. It consists mostly of nature and landscape conservation areas. Nearby towns are Klötze, Oebisfelde-Weferlingen, Gardelegen and Wolfsburg.
