The Friedrich Wilhelm Canal, previously the Müllroser Canal, was the first artificial waterway that connected the Oder with the Spree. The canal, completed in 1668, ran from Brieskow an der Oder and was approximately 27 kilometers long to Neuhaus an der Spree.

The canal was once the first connection between the Oder and Spree and originally had 14 locks and 8 bridges. For over 200 years it was the most important trade route between Wroclaw (Breslau) and Hamburg. After the end of the Second World War, Germany's oldest inland waterway developed into a unique natural idyll, which is now a listed building.
