Alte Schwentine, here called Mühlenau or Postau, at the former location of the watermill of the Preetz monastery

The Alte Schwentine rises from a meadow on the Grimmelsberg near Bornhöved . After taking in the small 'Große Au' and the water of the Bornhöveder Mühlenteich one kilometer to the northwest, it sets off on its course through the Bornhöveder chain of lakes , namely the Bornhöveder See , only 100 m north of it the Schmalensee , the Belauer See , on the north bank of which she passes the old watermill of the Perdöl estate. Behind an old quarry forest south of the property, it flows into the Stolper See , which it leaves again at its northern tip at the village of Mühlenberg. Also known here as Depenau or Kührener Au , it meanders about eight kilometers northwards through the field marrow of the Depenau and Kühren farms until it enters the Postsee , from which it flows off on its eastern bank. So invigorated it goes one kilometer through the town of Preetz , where it is better known as Postau or Mühlenau (after the former watermill of the Preetz monastery ), and unites with the Schwentine , which rises on the Bungsberg and flows into the Kiel Fjord .

Names

The assignment with different names is due to the cartographer Caspar Danckwerth , who in 1652 in his description of Schleswig and Holstein marked the parts of the originally real Schwentine from the Sventana field as individual floodplains with the appropriate names. As a result, the Bungsberg- Schwentine became the main Schwentine in the general understanding .

A section of the Limes Saxoniae , which Charlemagne had built as a border wall between Saxony and Wenden , ran along the chain of lakes of the Alte Schwentine. It was later seen as the border between the landscapes of Wagrien in the east and Stormarn and the actual Holstein in the west.
