The Hahnentiefschaar (also Bessinsche Schaar ) is a sandbank between the Baltic Sea islands of Hiddensee and Rügen off the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is located in the Vitter Bodden south of the Bessin double peninsula and west of the Bug peninsula in the core zone of the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park . The sandbar has an area of ​​around 2 km². In several places in the northern and central part of the sandbank it is so far above the mean water that small islands form on which pioneer plants settle. The Bessinsche Schaar is also described as a windwatt with numerous small islands. It serves as a feeding area for breeding and migrating waders .

Islands

Northern part

Several small islands have formed on the Hahnentiefschaar between the southern peaks of Alt- and Neubessin, up to 200 and 110 meters respectively from them. One of these islands belongs to the municipality of Insel Hiddensee . The island measures about 71 meters in an east-west orientation and around 68 meters in a north-south direction. The highest points are only a little over a meter above sea level. It is mostly overgrown. The island is not yet on the map of the Reichsamt für Landesaufnahme from 1893. The entire coastline had a different course. On some contemporary maps this island is mistakenly called Plathe , which, according to the Standing Committee on Geographical Names, is probably due to a transcription error. The name Plat (h) e refers to the east following the cock deep Schaar sea part . It is derived from the Low German name for an island or a sandbank that occasionally falls dry.

Middle part

In the middle part of the Hahnentiefschaar, where it reaches its greatest width of around 1 km, current aerial photos show at least five small silting zones, three of them with clearly recognizable vegetation. Official topographic maps from 1981 to 1987 show an island there with a diameter of around 300 meters.
