Masurian Canal
.jpg)
Remains of a lock structure
- ... that according to rumour, the Masurian Canal (abandoned lock structure pictured) was built to serve a U-boat facility?
- Eine Legende sagt, dass die Deutschen den Kanal angeblich zum Transport von U-Booten vorgesehen hätten, die in Mauerwald hätten hergestellt bzw. repariert werden sollen. In historischen Urkunden gibt es jedoch-wenigstens bis heute- keine Beweise dafür zu finden. (English: legend says that the Germans allegedly intended the canal to transport submarines that were to be manufactured or repaired in Mauerwald. However, there is no evidence of this - at least up to now - in historical documents.) source
- The internal dimensions of [two buildings] are so large that when the site was investigated after the war, it was thought that these were factory buildings that were to be used for the assembly of U-boats, which, when completed, were to be sailed through the Masurian Canal down to the Baltic. This created a legend that still endures despite being disproven. source

Comprehensive article on an interesting engineering ruin; the fact of the legend is well-sourced; the photo is CC-by-3 and clear enough even in small format; thank you for your contribution to the encyclopedia. Nice job. jengod (talk) 00:17, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
