Barssee
The former Barssee is located in Berlin's Grunewald forest in the “Barssee und Pechsee” nature reserve in the “Alte Saubucht” area. The lake used to have a boat dock and was a destination for excursions. Due to the change in the subsoil, the lake dried up in the 1970s, except for a small swampy area that can be seen today. The former "bathtub", the soil compaction, arose over the course of many centuries through the interweaving of dead plant parts. In the 1950s, after the groundwater level fell, attempts were made to fill the lake with tap water, but this failed. Since the 1970s, the groundwater level has dropped by around five meters. To what extent this contributed to the silting up of the lake has not been definitively investigated.
history
The Berlin zoo once supplied the venison for the royal palace. King Friedrich II of Prussia had the zoo redesigned into a park in the 18th century. The game for the royal cuisine was now sourced from the current nature reserve around the Barssee, which was used as a game reserve. In terms of fish, the Barssee mainly contained perch , which gave the lake its name and which were still caught here in the 1950s.
