Wanfrieder Schlagd, River port structure in Wanfried, Germany

The Wanfrieder Schlagd includes a historic quay wall, iron rings for mooring ships, remnants of the city wall, and two storage buildings along the Werra River.

The structure received city rights in 1608 from Moritz of Hesse-Kassel, who promoted shipping by granting tax exemptions for newly constructed vessels in the region.

The former warehouses now host a restaurant and outdoor concerts, while the preserved section of the city wall serves as a mooring point for water travelers.

The Historical Harbor Association of Wanfried, established in 2008, ensures the preservation and maintenance of this protected cultural monument through financial support.

In 1746, Christoph Hehling developed a reinforced ship frame specifically for transporting tobacco leaves, advancing maritime trade development in the region.
