Germany Max Klemens Kanal
The Max Clemens Canal (or Max-Klemens-Kanal) is a former shipping canal between Münster and northern Münsterland.
Under the Prince-Bishop of Münster, the Wittelsbach Clemens August I of Bavaria, construction began on 9 May 1724 near Münster-Kinderhaus. Under the direction of the Frisian hydraulic engineer Georg Michael Meetsma, an approximately 30 km long section of the canal was built from the Neubrückentor in Münster to the Frischhofsbach in Neuenkirchen by 1730. Here, at the provisional end point of the canal, south of Rheine, between Mesum and Burgsteinfurt, Clemenshafen was built.
