In the 18th century in the area of Oderbruchs between Lebus and Hohensaaten and also carried out downstream through a whole stitch and Eindeichungsprogramm.
Güstebiese - Wriezen - Hohensaaten
The Güstebieser (15 km) and the Wriezener Old Or (25 km) were until the construction of large stitch between Güstebiese and Hohensaaten 1747 to 1753, the 21-kilometer, or channel, the main stream of the Oder. Today take on all surface water from the Oder, which was made possible by approximately 3.5 m compared to the main stream by lowering the water table. The Güstebieser Old Or begin on or dike at Güstebieser Loose and flows southwest to Wriezen. From here it is the Wriezener Old Or who turns to the northwest and the Neuenhagener island flows between the city of Bad Freienwalde (Oder) and their district ship mill in a wide arc through the Lower Oder (partial nature reserve) west to the northeast.
From Bralitz to Odersberg ( HOW- km 84.69 ) is the Wriezener Old Or (WAO ) to 2.5 km length, a federal waterway waterway class III; responsible is the Waterways and Shipping Office Eberswalde. From Odersberg the Havel - Oder waterway uses the lowest 7.8 km long section of the old Oder. The water levels of these so-called Or attitude is 1.2 m above mean sea level. It is connected ( 3.24 m above mean sea level medium level here ) over the Hohe Saatener Ostschleuse with the two meters higher Oder. The water flow will be made in the Hohensaaten- Friedrichsthaler waterway whose level is only 0.4 m above mean sea level and with the attitude or is connected by a weir and the chief Saatener West lock.
The former town of Bad Freiwalde still bears the official name Bad Freienwalde (Oder), although the main stream of the Oder is 8 km north-east today. The City Or Mountain is located 7 km west of the present-day Oder.
Riding Wine Wriezen
Slightly longer, but much smaller is the southern Old Or, before the draining of the Oderbruchs a left tributary of the Oder. It has its origin in the vicinity of today's wine riding the original branch at the foot of Reitweiner spur near Lebus. From there, it flows first as Buller ditch and then as Manschnow Old Or north, then bends north of Gorgast sharply to the west and reaches Gusow ( north Seelow ) the western edge of the valley. From here it runs in a northwesterly direction and is north of Neuhardenberg out as a channel Quappendorfer. The last 13 kilometers from the mouth of the Stöbber to the confluence with the Wriezener Old Or in Wriezen hot Friedlander current.
Around two kilometers northwest of the Association of Stöbber and Quappendorfer channel the Friedlander stream of perch ditch flows (also: Abbey ditch ) to which drained a wetland in the ring Walder Heide on the chain of lakes Dolgensee, Kess Staffelsee, Lettinsee and Klostersee into the stream.
Et al In Zechin
Northeast of Zechin there are still remnants of the former about 4 km long old or as a result of passing stitch at Genschmar of 1787, but which are neither connected to the Or even with each other.
