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