    The Nordgeorgsfehn Canal (NGFK) connects the Jümme with the Ems-Jade Canal. It is 31.8 km long, 13 m wide and allows a draft of 1.4 m and a headroom of 2.2 m. It has eight locks and fifteen fixed and ten movable bridges.

      The southern section of the canal was built in the 1820s and stretched from the Jümme near Stickhausen through the moor area to Nordgeorgsfehn. This section was completed by 1829 and called the “Stickhauser Canal”. The further sections, always planned in small sections, via Remels to Neudorf in the municipality of Uplengen, and later (between 1906 and 1916) to the Ems-Jade Canal near Marcardsmoor north of Wiesmoor were carried out by the moor colonists, which resulted in the expansion delayed.
