in order to use the gradient of 109 m to generate electricity. de:Mittlere-Isar-Kanal

Location of the canal

The canal branches off the Isar at the

Oberföhring weir near the northern city limits of Munich, runs parallel to the river for a few kilometers and turns eastwards directly north of Unterföhring. While some of the water is branched off into the Ismaning

reservoir after a few kilometers, the Isar canal continues parallel to the reservoir. At Neufinsing, the outflowing water from the reservoir merges with the Isar Canal via a hydroelectric power station and flows further north, west past Erding. At the height of Munich Airport, the canal bends to the northeast and meets the Isar at Moosburg. From there it runs parallel to the Isar, into which it flows a few kilometers southwest of Landshut. In this last section there are two more reservoirs, the Moosburger and the Echinger reservoir.

The weir and the first 54 km of the canal including the 5 power plants located there belong to E.ON Wasserkraft GmbH, a subsidiary of E.ON, the last kilometers with the two Uppenborn works belong to Stadtwerke München. Of the total gradient of 109 m, 88 m are attributable to the E.ON power plants and 21 m to the two Uppenborn power plants.
