The Sacrower See is a lake in Brandenburg in the northern part of the city of Potsdam in the district Sacrow . The lime-rich, stratified flatland lake lies entirely in the “ Sacrower See und Königswald ” nature reserve .
Together with the Seeburger Fenn and the Groß Glienicker See , it forms a chain of lakes that lies in a glacial channel , into which the Heilige See, 1.6 kilometers to the south, is also classified. The Sacrower See has no natural above-ground inflow, but is fed by groundwater. The ditch, through which water sporadically flowed from the Groß Glienicker See, has dried up since 1996. The connection via the Schiffgraben to the Havel was closed in 1986 by a dam to prevent a seasonal backflow of the then highly eutrophic Havel water.
The lake extends over 3.2 kilometers in a north-south direction. Its width is a maximum of 500 meters and at the narrowest point 250 meters. The Potsdam district of Sacrow is located on the south-eastern shore of the lake. The other banks are made up of forest, which belongs to the Königswald. The catchment area of the Sacrower See is 7.9 km². 78% of this is covered by forest, 13% is water and 6% is agricultural land.
The Sacrower See is divided into three basins and is up to 36 m deep in its northern part. This makes it one of the five deepest natural lakes in Brandenburg. Between April and November it shows a stable temperature stratification.
The lake, assessed as potentially mesotrophic , was weakly eutrophic in 2009 with a LAWA trophic index of 3.0. The average depth of view was 1.80 m from 1996 to 2000. The sediment consists largely of digested sludge. Both the ecological and the chemical condition of the Sacrower See are rated on a five-point scale with 3 (= "moderate condition"; the environmental target of the WFD is just missed) according to the EU Water Framework Directive .
The reed edge of the lake is only narrow due to the steep banks. The most common floating leaf plant is the yellow pond rose .
The lake has been used intensively for fishing since the 1960s . The annual stocking of whitefish , one of 18 fish species found in the lake, is 500,000 saplings. The yields have declined sharply since the 1970s (20 kg / ha) and were only 3.2 kg / ha at the turn of the millennium.
During the division of Berlin, the lake was part of the border area and was under guard. In 1986, Rainer Liebeke drowned in the body of water while trying to escape from the GDR.
