According to the Prussian canal construction law of 1905, today's Mittelland Canal was a central section for the connection between the river areas of the Rhine, Weser and Elbe.
In 1916 the western route, known at the time as the Ems-Weser Canal, was completed. It led from the Dortmund-Ems Canal to Hanover. This made it possible for ships to travel in a west-east direction from the Rhine via artificial waterways to the Weser for the first time.
With the completion of the eastern route, known at the time as the Weser-Elbe Canal, shipping was also able to reach the Elbe from 1938.

At 325 km, the Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany. Including the branch canals and connecting canals to ports, industrial areas, the Weser and the Leine, the length is 392 km.
Many ports and transhipment points for goods of all kinds are located on the Mittelland Canal and its branch canals.
