The Glienicker Lake (also: Glienicker Lanke ) is a 550 meter long and up to 300 meter wide lake that flows into the Potsdam Havel at kilometer 28.37 between Berlin and Potsdam . Legally it is part of the Teltow Canal federal waterway ; The Berlin Waterways and Shipping Office is responsible . Lake (also: Laake ) actually refers to a lake with no inflow or outflow that slowly silts up . In this case, this does not apply, which suggests a derivation from the name Lanke , which is widespread in Berlin and Brandenburg .
location
The Glienicker Lake is bordered in the northeast by the Berlin district of Wannsee in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district . The Klein Glienicke district , which is also in the northeast on the Wannsee island , belongs to Potsdam-Babelsberg , which is in the southwest. To the east of Glienicker Lake, Klein Glienicke and Babelsberg are connected by the park bridge.
The Glienicker Lake begins at the western end of the approximately 400-meter-long connecting canal between Griebnitzsee and Lake. The park bridge leads over this narrow area. The Glienicker Lake ends in the Potsdamer Havel immediately south of the Glienicker Bridge . At this bridge, the Potsdamer Havel branches off from the Jungfernsee of the Untere Havel waterway and flows through the Babelsberger Enge and the Tiefen See to the southwest towards Potsdam.
history
The city border between Berlin and Potsdam, which is also the state border between Berlin and Brandenburg, runs through Glienicker Lake and at its eastern end on the Wannsee island. Until German reunification , this border water was heavily secured. The Glienicker Lake was the last lake in West Berlin that was navigable from West Berlin towards Potsdam after the Berlin Wall was built until it opened in 1990 .
Landscape, sights
The historic village of Klein-Glienicke is beautifully situated at the foot of the Böttcherberg, 66 meters above sea level , with its landmark Loggia Alexandra , which the garden architect Peter Joseph Lenné included in the design of the Babelsberg park opposite in the 1860s . On the north-eastern bank of the Glienicker Lake follow the Glienicke hunting lodge and forests of the Berlin Forest. On the south-western bank lies the extensive Babelsberg Park with the steam engine house, which was innovative at the time, which was built according to plans by Ludwig Persius in the years 1843–1845 with neat battlements , turrets and bay windows directly on the bank. A few meters inland are Babelsberg Castle and the University of Potsdam .
