Osnabrück Canal

Osnabrück District, Germany

The Osnabrück Canal (Stichkanal Osnabrück, formerly the Zweigkanal Osnabrück) or SKO, is an artificial waterway, about 14.5 kilometres (9 mi) long, that links the Mittelland Canal in central Germany with the port in the town of Osnabrück. It was built between 1910 and 1915 and runs largely parallel to the unnavigable River Hase, the greatest distance between the two being about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi). The 11th Armoured Division crossed the canal during World War II as it advanced across Germany.
