The Rosendorfer Canal (Überleiter 8) is an artificially created navigable waterway in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district in southern Brandenburg . The canal is located near Lieske , a district of the Altdöbern office . In the Lusatian Lakeland, it connects two lakes, the Partwitzer See and the Sedlitzer See , which were formed from former lignite opencast mines . The 440 meter long canal runs from the north bank of the Partwitzer to the southeastern bank of the Sedlitz lake. The channel name is reminiscent of the 1972 by the open pit Sedlitz devastated site Rose Village ( Sorbian : Zasrjew ) of the municipality Sorno belonged. The former Sedlitz opencast mine is currently being flooded, from which the Sedlitz Lake will be created.

task

The bottom width of the canal is four meters and the water capacity is five cubic meters per second. It was inaugurated on January 5, 2006.

In addition to the touristic task, the canal is intended to rehabilitate the region's water balance. Furthermore, the water balance is to be restored and the drainage conditions from the remaining chain of holes in the post-mining region to the Schwarze Elster and Rainitza receiving waters are to be secured. The canal makes it easier and faster to flood the lakes, as flooding with rising groundwater would take several decades. This means that shaft erosion only occurs to a small extent.

There is a double gate weir on the canal. At this point it is crossed by a cycle path, a former farm road of the Lausitzer and Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft (LMBV). The bridge is 29.7 meters long and has a clearance of 6 meters. The work was carried out on behalf of the LMBV. The costs for the Rosendorfer Canal together with the construction of the Sorno Canal , which connects Sedlitz and Geierswalder See, amounted to four million euros.
