    Badly navigable stretch with deep sand and coarse gravel. Sometimes pushing is the order of the day.

    The side canal Gleesen-Papenburg (popular mouth: Hitler canal or Ems side canal), planned 1936, should relieve the shipping on the Dortmund Ems channel laterally and simplify. Construction began in 1938, but was discontinued in 1942 during the Second World War as not essential to the war effort. During the construction period on the Gleesen-Papenburg-Kanal prisoners commandos (daily about 560 to 650 men) were used.
