the river Leine, some kilometers upstream from Sülbeck. Water was tapped off the Leine at
Hollenstedt, about 6,5 km upwards and following the rim of the Leine valley around the villages Stöckheim and Drüber. At the edge of the current village square the canal made a 90° bend from south to east and the water flowed back into the river Leine about 1 km downstream. About 100 soldiers dug the canal, called "Salzgraben" (salt canal) by the locals at a total construction time of two years. A large undershot waterwheel, installed on the current village square, drove the pumps. A stylized water wheel is now an integral part of the local coat of arms. Also at the present village square in Sülbeck a brine supply tower was built, from which the brine flew onto the graduation towers. In 1689 the industrial plant started operation. Very soon more buildings were added such as a second graduation tower.

access to the newly built railway line which connects
Hannover with Kassel, about 3 km away. Consequently, in 1883 the canal was widened east of the present village square in Sülbeck to build a little harbor. The area has been built over since 2010. At first the barges were hauled up the canal by horses. In 1886 a small tug was obtained that towed the barges loaded with coal from Salzderhelden to Sülbeck. Two locks were built on the Salzgraben to bridge the height difference between Leine and Salzgraben close to the outflow back into the Leine river. Later the first tug "Theodor" was exchanged against the stronger "Grubenhagen". After an arial cableway had been built the traffic with barges was given up. The rudder of one of the barges is preserved in the museum. The Salzgraben was filled in during the 1970s during the construction of the flood retention basin Salzderhelden.

Salzgraben very close to its end point. This cableway remained in service until the Salt works closed operation in 1950 after a bankruptcy. After that many of the buildings were dismantled. The concrete foundations of the cableway can be seen in the meadows as of 2013.

Northeim received electric power only in 1912. In 1894 a telephone line was installed between Hollenstedt and Sülbeck, the first in the area. It was used for communication about the regulation of water supply through the Salzgraben between the two villages.

In 1686 the first main brine well was ready plus two smaller wells. To pump the brine out of the soil and supply the graduation tower pumps were needed. The only apparent source of power at the time was water, which was in short supply on site. Thus a canal had to be dug to provide water supply from

In 1899 a small hydroelectric power station with two turbines was installed in Sülbeck which used the water of the
Salzgraben. In the villages Sülbeck and neighbouring Drüber electricity was supplied from December 22, 1899, onwards. Shortly after Vogelbeck on the other side of the river Leine was

The transport of the fuel necessary to boil the brine, at first wood, was performed with horse cart. The supply of fuel was the biggest cost element in the operation. Wood was transported from as far as the Harz
Mountains. Later the salt works were privatized and used coal as fuel. It had by then

During 1908 construction began for an arial cableway to transport coal from the railway station of
Salzderhelden to Sülbeck. The cableways starting point was close to the railway station in Salzderhelden. From there it ran through the meadows between Salzderhelden and Sülbeck and reached its end
