Brunsbuttel

Brunsbüttel sits at the mouth of the Kiel Canal on the Elbe in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, where one of the world’s busiest artificial waterways meets the tidal river near its North Sea estuary. Opened in 1895 as the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal, the canal links the North Sea and Baltic Sea and has long made the town a centre for shipping and lock operations. The Brunsbüttel locks regulate vessels entering and leaving the canal, while the Elbe’s broad lower course keeps the town closely connected to maritime traffic and changing tides.
