The canal should direct the outflows from the somewhat higher eastern part of the area (foothills of the Auricher Geest and adjacent moor) in a more direct way and away from the network of the Fehn canals into the Ems. The Sautelner Canal was built between 1967 and 1989 together with the Sauteler Siel and its pumping station. The channel, which is between 15 and 40 meters wide, is dimensioned for a drainage donation of 150 liters per second and square kilometer.
