The Kachliner See is located on the island of Usedom , in the southwest area of ​​the Thurbruch . The lake has an area of ​​about 94 hectares and is on average 1.5 meters deep. The Dargener district of Kachlin is located southwest of the lake .

history

The Kachliner See was formed when the Thurbruch Basin formed at the end of the last Ice Age. Originally it was a eutrophic clear water lake. From large parts of the Thurbruch and its catchment area, water flowed to the lake, flowed through it and flowed over the Bäck towards Gothensee .

In 1389 the Lords of Schwerin , who lived on Kachlin and Katschow, had a violent dispute with one another over the lake. After long negotiations, they agreed on special rights for hunting, fishing and the use of the reed . With the takeover of Kachlin in 1417 and of Katschow between 1415 and 1434 by the Pudagla Monastery , the lake also came into monastery ownership. After the secularization of the monastery in the 16th century, the lake belonged to the Pudagla office.

On a map of the Swedish Land Survey of Western Pomerania from 1693, a 700 meter long ditch is drawn on the east bank of Lake Kachlin towards the east-southeast. According to this, first attempts were made as early as the 17th century to dry out pastures and prevent further peat bogging of the lake.

In the 18th century, the Thurbruch began to use drainage measures to gain new agricultural land. In 1750, under the direction of the master builder Knüppel, a drainage ditch was built from the Kachliner See to the Wolgastsee , the Knüppelgraben named after him . After the Bäck , the natural drain to the Gothensee, silted up over time, it was expanded and straightened from 1772 onwards.

Around 1902, plans began for intensive peat cultivation , for which 123,000 marks were made available before the First World War , but which were no longer implemented. In 1920 the Kachlin wind pumping station was set up on the east bank , which served to drain the Thurbruch until 1968 and has been preserved as a technical monument to this day . At the end of the 1920s, the “Soil Improvement Cooperative for the Thurbruch” began building a ring trench system around the entire lake. A 16.4 hectare pasture area was created on the west bank of the lake. After 1935, members of the Reich Labor Service were deployed to rebuild and clear trenches. During the GDR era, the Thurbruch was extensively renovated between 1956 and 1969 at great expense. An electrically operated pumping station was installed at Kachlin.

A dam was built around the lake within the ring ditch system to prevent further water flow to the Kachliner See. This resulted in a significant disruption of the hydrology and nutrient conditions of the lake. The use of the meadows within the dam was abandoned, which meant that forest cover could develop there. An alder break forest grew on the west bank.

The water level of the Kachliner See is largely regulated by pumping stations in the Thurbruch. In years with little rainfall, the lake is threatened with silting up as its water then drains into the surrounding ditches. The shallow water areas are a meeting place for numerous water birds, which makes the lake an ornithologically interesting body of water.
