The Gräbendorfer Landgraben is a left tributary of the Dahme in Brandenburg .

history

According to tradition, the trench in 1600 was merely a "Ries moose" and belonged as part of the Give Ländchen the taverns of Landsberg . Their last descendant, Ludwig-Alexander Schenk von Landsberg, sold it in 1717 to King Friedrich Wilhelm I. The latter had the ditch deepened in order to promote agriculture. The Graebendorfer as well as the Gussower were of the opinion that the royal family would henceforth also pay for the maintenance of the trench. However, this turned out to be a fallacy and so the trench grew bushy over the decades. A legal dispute developed between the two villages over the question of who had to clean the ditch. The royal family decided in April 1777 that each municipality was responsible for the part that led over its district. When both communities claimed to the royal family that they could not bear the costs, the royal family decided for the last time to assume the costs. In 2016, an environmental impact study in the course of the EUGAL's planning revealed that the state of the Gräbendorfer Landgraben should be classified as “moderate”.

course

The ditch begins in the eastern part of the district of Pätz , a district of the municipality of Bestensee east of the federal highway 179 in a forest area. From there it flows in a north-easterly direction through the district of Gräbendorf , a district of the Heidesee community . The Pätzer receiving water flows south of the Dubrow district forester from the west and the Mühlengraben a few meters further downstream from the east . Another ditch leads in from the west at about the level of the Gräbendorfer Dorfanger . It is fed by the Tonsee in Pätz, which in turn is filled with groundwater. The ditch then crosses under federal highway 246 in a northerly direction and passes the Uhlenhorst residential area to the east . A few meters further downstream, the Grobsgraben leads for the first time . This runs east of the Gräbendorfer Landgraben and connects again further downstream as it swings to the west on the Gussow district. In the district it flows east through the village and finally flows into the Dahme.
