Others

In 1995, the area of ​​the former Gransee district took first place in a study on the quality of life in Germany (Dieter Korczak: Quality of Life Atlas. Westdeutscher Verlag, Opladen 1995, page 142):

“Eight individual indicators have been taken into account for the calculation of the quality of life index environment: The settlement, forest and water area, the quality of the drinking water and the pollution with SO2, NO2, ozone and dust. In other words, it is about pure air, pure water, pure and unsealed soil. [...] The Brandenburg district of Gransee north of Berlin and south of the Mecklenburg Lake District has the best environmental conditions in Germany. The water in this district is abundant and clean. Neither nitrogen oxides nor sulfur dioxide nor dust pollute the environment. Like all 'green' regions, however, the Gransee district also has to struggle with ground-level ozone pollution. In the Gransee district there are idyllic places such as the small town of Fürstenberg, which extends over three islands between Röblinsee, Balensee and Schwedtsee. Fürstenberg has always been valued as an East German holiday resort in surroundings rich in forests and lakes. "
