The Krummenhagener See is a roughly 260 hectare wetland about eight kilometers south of the Hanseatic city of Stralsund in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The lake is divided into several open water areas with adjacent fen areas. The eponymous place Krummenhagen as well as Negast and Zarrendorf are located near the lake . The lake is touched to the west by federal highway 194 . The area is around 2.3 kilometers long and 500 meters wide.
The lake is located in the nature reserve of the same name and is also part of the FFH area Krummenhagener See, Borgwallsee and Pütter See and the bird sanctuary North Western Pomerania Forest Landscape .
History and water balance
The Krummenhagener See was created during the last ice age within a sand area . Meltwater from the thawing glacier flowed through the area and carved out the deepening of today's lake area. In the following millennia, up to three meters thick muds filled the drainless lake, on which peat grew to a small extent. Today's lake depths are often less than 0.5 meters. Human use has been documented by the Neuenkamp monastery since the 13th century . The lake was used for fishing and dammed for the operation of water mills in Stralsund, with the lake water flowing off over the Mühlengraben, Borgwallsee and Pütter See . A water mill was also operated directly at the lake outlet until 1859. When the mill was abandoned, the lake level was lowered. The extent of the free water area decreased sharply. The then 250 hectare lake was divided into individual open water areas. Two pumping stations pump water from the adjacent fen areas into the lake, which is then drained into the Borgwallsee via the Mühlengraben.
