Leinakanal, Medieval canal in Thuringia, Germany.
The Leinakanal extends nearly 30 kilometers from the Thuringian Forest to Gotha, transporting water through engineered waterways and stone channels.
Construction of the Leinakanal began in 1369 under Landgrave Balthasar of Thuringia, with master builder Conradus designing the water supply system for Gotha.
The Lucas Cranach House in Gotha presents exhibitions about the Leinakanal, documenting its technical achievements and historical development through the centuries.
The canal maintains an elevation difference of 101 meters from its source in Schönau at 381 meters to its endpoint in Gotha at 280 meters.
An aqueduct, constructed in 1845, carries the Leinakanal waters across the Thuringian Railway line, preserving the canal's function during infrastructure development.
