This article appears in Volume V25, Page 737 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
SPREE , a river of
Prussia
 ,
Germany
 , rising in the
district
  of Upper
Lusatia
 , in the kingdom of
Saxony
 , close to the Bohemian frontier, and flowing nearly due north past Bautzen, Spremberg and Cottbus, dividing between the first two towns for a time into two arms. Below Cottbus the river splits into a network of channels, and swings round in a big curve to the west forming the
peculiar
  marshy region (30 M.
long
  and 3 to 6 m. wide) known as the
Spreewald
 . Having returned to its predominant direction, it turns W.N.W., and passing Furstenwalde and Kopenick threads Berlin in several arms, and joins the
Havel
  at Spandau. Its length is 227 M. of which 112 are navigable; the area of its drainage basin is 366o sq. m. It is connected with the Oder by the
Friedrich
  Wilhelm or Mullrose Canal made in 18621868, which is 17 M.
long
 , and by the Oder-Spree Canal, made in 18871888, and with the
Havel
  by the Berlin-Spandau Navigation Canal, 51 m. long, and by the Teltow Canal completed in 1905.
