Als Oder-Havel-Kanal wird die schiffbare Verbindung zwischen der Oder bei Hohensaaten und der Havel südlich von Oranienburg bezeichnet. Der Name wurde erstmals im 19. Jahrhundert für die Folge aus dem bereits bestehenden Finowkanal (inkl. Oderhaltung) und den beiden damals gebauten Havel-Seitenkanälen Malzer und Oranienburger Kanal (inkl. ein kurzes Stück Havel zwischen beiden) verwendet.

I’m not sure how to think about Folge here. Is it like, the Succesor. Its not about the canal being extended right?

“Folge aus” – the “aus” is the clue here that the Folge “consists of” something.

The way I understand it is that they had one canal already and then build two other ones that connect other parts and then they came up with a new name for all three together.
