Of the planned 19 kilometers, 11 kilometers were completed and filled with water in 1939, and a further 5.5 kilometers were already partially excavated. The canal, which was supposed to flow into the Saale near Kreypau, ends near Günthersdorf (Saxony-Anhalt). (Source: Wikipedia)

The Elster-Saale Canal, known as the Saale-Leipzig Canal (SLK) by the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration since 1999 and also called the Saale-Elster Canal from the Halle side, is a canal project that began in 1933 and was discontinued in 1943 connect the White Elster in Leipzig with the Saale near Leuna and thus connect Leipzig via the Saale and Elbe to the North German waterway network and via Hamburg to the North Sea.
The canal was planned for ships up to 1000 tons (about class IV).
