Hamburg, Germany - July 18, 2021 - the KornhausbrÃÂ¼cke bridge with the statues of Columbus and Vasco da Gama carefully shrouded

The customs canal in Hamburg runs on the northern edge of the Speicherstadt and until 2003 formed the customs border between the old town and the then free port area. At the end of the 19th century, it was expanded from existing waters inland port, Dovenfleet, MÃÂ¼hrenfleet, Oberhafen into a shipping canal in order to bypass the new free port area created in 1888. The customs canal thus connected the customs inland, while the free port area was customs abroad.
