The Gördensee or Zummel is located 1.5 km north of the Quenzsee in Brandenburg an der Havel and flows over the Quenzsee into the Havel . It is named after the Görden district. The area of the lake is around 40 hectares and it is a maximum of two meters deep . It extends kidney-shaped, the eastern bank concave , 1.3 km from north to south and in its widest extent from east to west 400 m.
History of origin
The Gördensee is part of a large area of the Görden-Bohnenland-Görden-Görden-Görden-Görden gully , which was formed in the last glacial gully formed by the Vistula glacier . This can be easily followed from the south of the Gallberg and Schwarzen Berg over the Bohnenländer See and Gördensee in a north-south orientation in the topography of the landscape to the Quenzsee . It originated below the Marzahn Glacier Tongue Basin or the Marzahn Fenn and runs parallel to the Beetzseerinne in the east and another channel in the west, in which the Havel flows today . Like its northern Bohnenländer lake, the Gördensee or Zummel is fed by groundwater. Since the creation of a drain, the Quenzgraben and the associated unnatural water loss, the lake has been affected by a pronounced and unnatural silting process. In the late 18th century, the Gördensee was about twice as long north-south and about 50 percent larger water area than at the beginning of the 21st century. Hess describes it as a "dying lake".
Surname
The name Gördensee is the meanwhile consensual name of the lake formerly called Zummel . The term Zummel was only used for the northern, now silted up section of Lake Gördensee. The term Gördensee is derived from the neighboring Brandenburg district of Görden in the east. This in turn takes its name from the Slavic gorne , which Reinhard E. Fischer translates as "above, high-lying settlement" (cf. Polish góra , Russian гора , "mountain").
The word Zummel also refers to the Slavic population of the Mark Brandenburg. Hess, Kinder and Porada translate it with reference to the old Polish word * som , catfish, as a lake in which catfish occur (cf. Polish sum , Russian сом , "catfish").
The lake was first mentioned in 1179 as "Zumit". Eight years later, a medieval document calls it “stagnum Zumit”. In 1842 it is officially recorded as "Zummel" in cartographic works. With the heavy settlement of the Vorwerk Görden, which took its name from the Gorne desert located there , during the industrialization epoch of the early 20th century, the local name Gördensee established itself in the population .
function
The Gördensee and its wooded surroundings are used as a local recreation area. In summer, its beach in the east is a destination for bathers. In winter, the water is particularly valued by ice sports enthusiasts, as it has no dangerous currents and is also relatively shallow. This means that the ice cover is generally stable earlier and free of dangerous weak zones caused by currents. Sports running disciplines have been held around the Gördensee or Zummel for years. For example, the rbb running club developed into the Gördensee running park with a 6.3 km circuit.
By ordinance of Mayor Dr. Wilhelm Sievers , the channel Gördensee - Bohnenländer See was secured as a landscape protection area (LSG) Bohnenländer See and Gördensee , which is now part of the LSG "Westhavelland". The Gördensee is the scene of an intensive toad migration every year . The animals are protected from traffic on the Anton-Saefkow-Allee, which runs along the southern bank, by means of appropriate guidance systems.

Drain
The artificial Quenzgraben begins on the southern bank . This drains the lake through the wetlands of the Bohnenland-Görden-Rinne to the Quenzsee. The Gördensee is thus drained to the North Sea via the Havel and Elbe .
