The Landwehr Canal is a 10.7-kilometer (6.6-mile) long canal in Berlin, Germany, which runs parallel to the Spree River. Constructed between 1845 and 1850, it was designed by engineer Peter Joseph Lenné to facilitate shipping and improve drainage in the city. The canal begins in the eastern part of Berlin at the Spree River near Treptower Park and flows westward through several districts including Kreuzberg, Tiergarten, and Charlottenburg, before rejoining the Spree River at Charlottenburg.
