    Tips

    The canal was built from 1756 to 1760 in order to be able to operate water features and water courses in the park of the residential palace to be built for the Mecklenburg dukes in Ludwigslust. It formed an extension of the Drellengraben, which was built before 1756.
    A natural body of water was not available for this purpose. The main attraction of the water features is the cascade in front of the castle, built from granite blocks in 1780, which replaced a wooden previous building. On it are three late baroque allegorical sandstone groups of figures by the sculptor Rudolph Kaplunger. The middle sculpture symbolizes the river gods the sturgeon and the Rögnitz. The cascade and its figures were renovated from November 2006 to July 2008.

    Old maps and descriptions suggest that there must have been sewer construction work and watercourses renamed in the Lewitz area at different times. According to the Geographical-Statistical-Historical Handbook of the Meklenburger Land published in 1837, the Ludwigsluster Canal flowed out of a cross lock after the Hüttengraben had been merged with the Banzkower Canal and the New Canal.
    According to the fourth edition of Meyer's Konversationslexikon (1885-1892), the Ludwigsluster Canal drains the water after the Stör Canal and the New Canal, which was led from the Elde near Garwitz to the Stör Canal. The Ludwigslust Canal was once also used for rafting wood. Various maps up to the 1970s show that the artificial watercourse later branched off directly from the Stör Canal.

        The Ludwigsluster Canal around the palace park is very beautiful. Especially the small bridges and cascades are great.
