The Domjüchsee is a natural lake in the course of Stendlitz in the catchment area of the Havel inflow Floßgraben . It is located east of the Neustrelitz district of Strelitz-Alt in the Mecklenburg Lake District and geographically belongs to the Mecklenburg Lake District as a lake in the Neustrelitz Kleinseenland .

Shape of the lake

The lake is a glacial channel lake (26.7 hectares ) with a high steep bank on the east side. The Domjüch has a dichotomy. The northern, only about two meters deep lake is connected to the L-shaped southern part by a narrow connection. This is up to five meters deep. The lake has a length of about 1700 meters and a width of about 170 meters.

Domjüchmühle

The Domjüchmühle was located at the outflow of the Stendlitz from the lake. It was first mentioned in 1508. It was in operation as a grain mill until around 1870 and as a sawmill until the end of the century. In order to improve its performance, water from the Schäfereipöhlen , the Zwirnsee , the Großer Fürstenseer See and its tributaries was also fed to the Jägerpohl. In the 18th century, obstacles to the flow in the flowing Stendlitz were removed.

Former Bathing establishment

The Altstrelitz bathing establishment used to be located on the eastern shore of the lake . Multi-purpose buildings, sanitary facilities and restaurant buildings were dismantled. Today bathing is possible there at an official bathing area. The footbridge (see fig.) Was torn off. In August 2010 a rock concert took place at the bathing area. For the time of the concert, a stage was set up in the immediate vicinity of the shore.

Domjüch desert

The Domjüchsee got its name after the village Domjüch, which was lost in the feuds in the Brandenburg region and is now known as a desert (1349 Domiuche, 1569 Domjücher Mühle, 1599 Daumjuch ). The place name comes from the Polish language , which was spoken here at the time of the Slavic settlement . It is derived from the old Slavic resident name Domjuchy (Pl.), The meaning of which can no longer be deduced today. This is made up of the old Polish words dom (dt. House) and jucha (dt. Soup, broth).

State lunatic asylum Domjüch

On the west bank of the Domjüch, the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg-Strelitzsche State Insane Asylum Domjüch opened as a psychiatric clinic for Mecklenburg-Strelitz in 1902 . Today only the restored chapel and ruins of the institution buildings are preserved. Renamed the Domjüch sanatorium in 1934 , the institution was a transition station for the euthanasia murders during the Nazi era . From spring 1943 the building complex was used as a tuberculosis sanatorium. After the end of the Second World War, the area was used for military purposes by the group of Soviet armed forces in Germany until 1993 . In addition to events in the chapel, an association now offers exhibitions and guided tours.
