Klützer Winkel
The Klützer Winkel or Klützer Ort is part of the district of Northwest Mecklenburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
geography
It is the western part of the district on the Baltic Sea between the Hanseatic cities of Lübeck ( Priwall ) and Wismar , north of the city of Grevesmühlen , with the center of Klütz . The hilly landscape in Klützer Winkel was shaped by the last ice age. The highest elevations are the Hohe Schönberg at 89 m above sea level. NN and the Heideberg . The Klützer Winkel could also be described as a peninsula between the Bay of Lübeck and Bay of Wismar , because the area extends up to ten kilometers to the north from a line between Lake Dassow and the Wohlenberger Wiek . The area is rich in tourist attractions such as the Baltic Sea cliff, the seaside resort Boltenhagen , the small town of Klütz with its Bothmer Castle and various other castles such as the so-called Groß Schwansee Castle Estate or Johannstorf Castle near Dassow in the Kalkhorst district .
Klützer forest
The Klützer Ort was almost completely wooded in the Middle Ages. The Klützer forest area (lat. Clutse nemus ) is described in its extent by the Wendish place names of the peninsula. In the Barbarossa privilege of 1188, the emperor Barbarossa assured the up-and-coming Hanseatic city of Lübeck the use of wood in this forest area for construction wood such as firewood, as far as it was needed for Lübeck's own needs, i.e. not as merchandise. This privilege was confirmed to the Lübeckers in 1202 by King Waldemar II of Denmark as patron of the city. The background in each case was that by clearing the Klützer forest in Klützer Winkel, agricultural settlement area was to be gained in order to increase the tax revenue over the tithe . This is confirmed by an agreement dated July 8, 1222 between the Ratzeburger Bishop I. Heinrich and Mecklenburg Prince Henry I. Borwin confirmed. The extent of the former forest area can therefore also be recognized by the new German settlement names that were created in the course of the clearing, which usually end in -hagen. In the area of the former Klützer Wald, the four parishes or parishes Damshagen , Elmenhorst , Kalkhorst and Klütz , all of which are also mentioned in the Ratzeburg tithe register of 1230, because the Klützer Winkel belonged to the diocese of Ratzeburg until the Reformation and from Rehna monastery for this was managed. The high soil credit rating led to an almost complete deforestation of the Klützer Winkel. The last remaining and by far the largest closed forest area of the Klützer Winkel is the Lenorenwald east of Kalkhorst , which, with its predominantly boggy and damp locations, was not suitable for conversion into agricultural land. It is located south of the Hohen Schönberg towards Klütz and is known for two quite unusual trees: two large North American sequoias are completely alien to their species and, next to megalithic tombs and Wendish castle ramparts, represent something of a landmark. The Lenorenwald is now a protected landscape area , 546 of which are Hectares designated as FFH area .
