The Egsdorfer Horst - also known as the island of love - is one of four islands in Lake Teupitz in the Dahme-Spreewald district in Brandenburg . This is part of the Teupitz waters .
location
The island is located in the southwest area of the lake and west of the city center. It is elongated in a north-south direction and is around 700 meters long and up to 240 meters wide. The banks of the Teupitz district of Neuendorf are around 340 meters away . The eponymous district of Egsdorf is around 430 meters to the west. To the northwest lies the much smaller island of Tornows Werderchen . Two other, unnamed islands are located in the eastern part of the lake.
history
Like the lake, the island is of natural origin and belonged to the lands of the castle in Teupitz . Farmers worked there for a time in agriculture . With the loss of the manor in 1927, the island came into the possession of the city. She created a development plan that provided for a plot of land to be sold in order to sell individual plots. Marketing was done by the Märkische Wochenend-Gesellschaft . The buyers included the chemist Erich Correns , who was also President of the National Council of the National Front of the GDR . From 1930 the island could be reached via a regular ferry service from Teupitz. Another buyer was the urologist Moritz Mebel , who bought property on the island in 1962. In 1979 it was connected to the electrical power grid.
After the fall of the Wall , numerous owners made claims for repatriation. Some of them were rejected, for example that of the heirs of the sculptor Arno Breker , who bought a piece of land in 1939 and was involved in art under National Socialism . Harro Schulze-Boysen's right to retransfer was also rejected . The Luftwaffe officer and leading resistance fighter against National Socialism within the so-called Red Chapel bought property in 1942, but was arrested before it was entered in the land register.
