The Bäck [ beːk ], also Labömitzer Bäck or Reetzower Bäck , is a watercourse in the Thurbruch on the island of Usedom , which connects the Kachliner See with the Gothensee . The majority of the approximately 2.6 km long, continuously straightened Bäck is located in the area of ​​the municipality of Benz in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district .

history

The Bäck formed when the Thurbruch Basin formed at the end of the last Ice Age when the bog was covered. In the Middle Ages, the Bäck and the Beek , the natural drainage of the Gothensee into the Baltic Sea, were regarded as a river and called the Lassovnisza . In 1243, Duke Barnim I gave the Lassovnisza to the Stolpe Monastery . In the middle of the 13th century there were border disputes with the Grobe monastery, as a result of which the Lassovnisza had to be ceded to Grobe.

The Bäck is shown in the Lubin map from 1618. The Bäck is not shown on the map of the Swedish Land Survey of Western Pomerania from 1693. In 1738 the Prussian surveyor Schwatcke depicted the water very precisely on his map. He described the Bäck as "overgrown". The drainage of water from the Kachliner See was impeded by the strong reed formation. The Prussian master builder Knüppel, who was mainly active in the eastern area of ​​the Thurbruch, omitted a representation in his map of the area from 1755. As part of the artificial drainage of the Thurbruch to gain pastureland carried out by Franz Balthasar Schönberg von Brenkenhoff from 1772 onwards, the Bäck Straightened in parts starting from the Kachliner See. In the first half of the 19th century it grew over again and was finally cleaned in 1831, which cost 400 thalers.

In the years 1858 and 1859 Hermann Weichbrodt, the owner of Gothen , succeeded in draining the Gothensee in order to use it as pastureland. The inflow through the Bäck was channeled over a dam as a high drainage across the lake into a ring trench that led into the Sack Canal . After the drainage of the Gothensee was abandoned because of excessive costs, the Bäck was allowed to flow back into the Gothensee. Around 1930 the northern third of the Bäck was straightened.

During the GDR era, the Thurbruch was lavishly meliorated between 1957 and 1969 . An electrically operated pumping station was installed on the Bäck near Labömitz to pump the water out of the newly created trenches.
