Nieder Neuendorfer Canal
The Niederneuendorfer channel is a waterway in Havelland Gliener Luch , Land Brandenburg . It begins in the Hennigsdorf district of Nieder Neuendorf an der Havel (today without any connection to it). To the northeast of the Schönwalde settlement , it unites with the Muhrgraben coming from the north and flows into the Havel Canal between Brieselang and Pausin in the area of the municipality of Schönwalde-Glien .
The canal was built from 1737 to 1738 as a connection between the Havel and the Great Ditch ( Great Havelland Main Canal ), which was already built between 1718 and 1724, for the purpose of irrigating the royal domain of Königshorst in the Havelland Luch . For this reason he was given the joke name "Königshorster Wasserleitung". At no time was it of greater importance for shipping. For the construction of the Havel Canal in 1951/1952, its bed between the current confluence point and the Havelland Great Main Canal was used. On the occasion of the security measures of the GDR on the border with Berlin (West) , the confluence of the canal into the Havel in Nieder Neuendorf in the area of the border growth preserved there was filled in after 1961. Since then, the canal has ended west of Nieder Neuendorfer Dorfstrasse and shows signs of silting up in this section.
