The Lober-Leine Canal is the artificial outflow of the Lober and Leine rivers into the Mulde . It begins north of Benndorf and flows into the Mulde between Pouch and Löbnitz ( Delitzsch district ). The canal was built between 1949 and 1951 because the original river beds had to give way to the Goitzsche opencast mine . It was around 14 kilometers long and was relocated again in 1982 to clear the construction site for the Rösa opencast mine. After the flood in 2002, which destroyed the estuary, it was temporarily used to flood the open- cast mine in Seelhauser See .

In 2004 the canal and the confluence with the hollow were restored with extensive civil engineering work.
