Gleesen-Papenburg Lateral Canal.Planning began in 1936, and construction began in 1938. Construction was halted in 1942 because it was deemed non-essential to the war effort. Construction was halted after the war ended.However, there are discussions about completing the canal if the economic situation requires it.
