Tips
HistoryThe southern section of the canal was built in the 1820s and stretched from the Jümme near Stickhausen through the moorland to Nordgeorgsfehn. This section was completed by 1829 and was called the "Stickhausen Canal".The other 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 built by the moor colonists, which delayed the expansion.
