Surname
The name Dosse is of Indo-European origin and belongs to the oldest European name layer. The root of the word indicates * dhü- or * dheu "swirl". The name of the Slavic tribe of the Dossans (Doxani, Doxanen, Dasseri, Desseri), who settled on the Dosselauf in the 10th century, is derived from the river name .
course
The Dosse rises in the border area of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the State of Brandenburg on a plateau on the northern edge of the Prignitz , about three kilometers northeast of Meyenburg . This plateau lies between Wendisch Priborn and Meyenburg. The source areas of the Elde and Stepenitz are not far from the Dosquelle . In this area, further small brooks arise, which flow into the Dosse every four kilometers. The Dosse initially flows in a south-easterly direction and forms the border between Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg to the north and east of Freyenstein . Approximately at the crossing under the A 19 autobahn , the Dosse turns to the south and flows over Wittstock / Dosse and Wusterhausen / Dosse through the Doss lowlands to Neustadt (Dosse) . Approx. 12 kilometers south of Neustadt (Dosse), at Großderschau , the Dosse reaches the lowlands of the Berlin glacial valley , in which it continues to flow in a westerly direction. About five kilometers north of the Gülper See , which it does not flow through, the Dosse flows into the Havel at Vehlgast-Kümmernitz .
use
In the Middle Ages, the lower Dosse, from the mouth to at least Wusterhausen / Dosse, was an important traffic route, over which wood (downstream) and salt (upstream) were transported by ship.
From 1850 the river was floodable from the village of Dosse and from Hohenofen , about 18 kilometers from the Havel, it was navigable for smaller vehicles at any time. The printed shipping guide from 1940 describes it as moderately navigable as far as Rübehorst . In its lower reaches, the Dosse is still navigable today up to the bridge at Rübehorst . The Dossespeicher Kyritz is located on a tributary in its catchment area .
