The Butter Laake is a wetland. It is located south of the village of Brielow and north of the Brielow expansion in the municipality of Beetzsee and northeast of the Butterlake residential area named after it in the city of Brandenburg an der Havel . Historically, it is part of an ice age meltwater channel.

History of origin

The Butter Laake south of Brielow developed in the course of the last, the Vistula Cold Age, as a wide meltwater channel. The waters from the ice edge layers in the area of ​​today's Nauener Platte flowed into it . The meltwater channel is connected to the glacial channel of the Bohnenländer and Gördensee lakes and to the Beetzseerinne and Beetzsee . The meltwater channel is said to have been, among other things, a late runoff of the Baruther glacial valley . In the further course the area was characterized by bog formation.

use

The areas of Butter Laake are used intensively for agriculture. Drainage ditches were dug to make them arable. The two main trenches are the Eisengraben , which drains the Butter Laake west to the Havel , and the Schlangengraben , which drains it east to the Beetzsee . Both trench systems are controlled by weirs . The anmoorgleyhaltigen floors of butter Laake are reported with a high yield. The areas of the butter Laake are part of Westhavelland Nature Park and the Protected Landscape Westhavelland.
