The Krebsgraben is a river of Saxony, Germany. It flows into the White Elster near Leipzig.
Historically, it was known as the Luppe or the southern Luppe. [1] The Krebsgraben originates near Großschkorlopp, a district of Kitzen, and flows northeast through Knautnaundorf before emptying into the White Elster near the Knautnaundorf industrial area. The river has a length of approximately 7.57 kilometers, with about 1.98 kilometers running through the city of Leipzig.
