History of origin

The Gortzer Laake, north-west of the village of Gortz, developed like the Todtlaake to the south in the course of the last, the Vistula cold period . Between two ranges of hills with the Broseckenberg (66.8 meters), the Butzower Berg and the Black Mountain in the northwest and the Mühlberg (61.9 meters), the Mosesberg (62.9 meters) and the Hasselberg in the southeast formed during the Brandenburg- Phase ice advancing towards Central Europe a wide, flat valley oriented in a south-westerly direction, the Gortzer Glacier Tongue Basin. The chains of hills are assigned to ice edge layer 2b of the Brandenburg phase of the Vistula glaciation. At the northeastern end of the basin, a meltwater channel formed in which meltwater flowed to the Beetzseerinne , to the Beetzsee . The Todtlaake formed in the same gully.
