The Großer Landgraben is a river of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is formed at the confluence of Landgraben (west-flowing branch), Kleiner Landgraben (north-flowing branch) and Mittelgraben near Siedenbollentin. It flows into the Tollense in Klempenow.
The Großer Landgraben (German for "Great Land Ditch") is a significant waterway in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, serving as both a historical border and a natural drainage system. Flowing through the Mecklenburg Lake District, it connects the Tollensesee (Lake Tollense) with the Ostsee (Baltic Sea) via the Peene River. Its strategic location and historical modifications have given it a multifaceted role in the region's geography, hydrology, and past conflicts [1, 2].
