Kanalhafen Frankenthal, Inland port and cultural heritage monument in Frankenthal, Germany
The Kanalhafen features a restored quay wall, sandstone steps, and wide grass areas next to the municipal indoor swimming pool in eastern Frankenthal.
Construction of the Karl-Theodor Canal began in 1772, and between 1781 and 1787 workers built the harbor basin and warehouse to connect Frankenthal with the Rhine.
The former harbor area demonstrates the industrial development of Frankenthal through its preserved historical elements and transformation into a public green space.
The redesigned canal harbor provides seating areas and lighting systems that allow visitors to use the space during evening hours throughout the year.
The harbor basin transported the Cologne Imperial Bell in 1875, marking the final significant shipment before railway transportation took over commercial activities.
