Surname
According to Reinhard E. Fischer , the lake takes its name from the desolate village of Zern , which was located on its west bank at the height of today's harbor, near today's colony of Zern. According to Fischer, the word Zern is derived from the Slavic * chern : "black" (compare Russian : чёрный). According to Fischer et al .: Die Gewässernamen Brandenburgs , 1996 , this interpretation is wrong; he is from a personal name * Č (e) rn- . The field name Black Mountains northeast of the Great Zernsee probably reminds of the Slavic place name.
function
The Havel Canal and the Sacrow-Paretzer Canal lead most of the commercial shipping to the Potsdamer Havel, and thus to the Great Zernsee. The water is mostly used by water sports enthusiasts and passenger ships . Even anglers use the Great Zernsee.
