What is meant is the mainland belt between Anklam and Wolgast , opposite are the Krumminer Wiek , the Gnitz peninsula, the Achterwasser and the Lieper Winkel . The Lassaner Winkel protrudes into the Peene River .

The coastal strip is part of the Peenetal River Landscape Nature Park and the Island of Usedom Nature Park .

Surname

In the lagoon landscape of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, peninsulas are often called "angles". Examples of this are the Klützer Winkel in Mecklenburg and the Lieper and Usedomer Winkel in Western Pomerania . In literature, the name Lassaner Winkel appears in Karl Viohl's chronicle of the history of the city of Lassan in 1862 . Viohl again refers to files from and after the Thirty Years' War:

"This leads us back to the end of the Thirty Years' War, the horror of which spread to this distant corner of land, which is often called the Lassaner Winkel in the files."

- Karl Viohl

The term "Lassaner Winkel" is used today mainly in the tourist sense and is also marketed in this way.

geography

The landscape was formed in the last Ice Age and lies in the foreland of the Velgaster Staffel. The Vistula Ice Age left flat ground moraines and hilly terminal moraine landscapes behind. The melt water from the glacier ice flowed off over the glacial valleys and created the Western Pomerania valley network with the Peene and Oder . What remains are small lakes and ice age pools , so-called celestial eyes .

In terms of transport, the Lassaner Winkel can be reached via the federal road 111 from Wolgast or the federal road 110 from Anklam in the direction of Usedom . In addition, the region forms the eastern branch of the Vorpommerschen Dorfstrasse and is integrated into the hiking trail network of the Via Baltica .

Since Lassan has a port in the Lassaner Bay, the Winkel can also be reached by water from the Baltic Sea , Stettiner Haff or Achterwasser. According to the Lassan water ordinances of 1535, 1571, 1603 and 1711, the backwaters and the southern part of the Peene River belonged to the coastal town of Lassan as the Lassan water for several centuries , which had fishing rights on the water.

"With this water ordinance, it is noteworthy that the Lassan water is understood to include the entire Achterwasser and the Peene from and including Bauer to Klotzow, and that the Anklamer are also mentioned among those who fish the Lassan water for the usual rent."

- Karl Viohl

Scenic features

The Lassaner Winkel is not part of the organized tourism of the island of Usedom. The tourism concept "Herbs, Art and Heavenly Eyes", designed by locals, relies on regionality and was awarded a prize in 2012 by the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The concept is aimed at individual visitors and promotes gentle, environmentally friendly tourism. The area can be easily explored by bike or on foot. Many artists have settled in the small former manor villages in the area. Especially in the summer months there are numerous exhibitions and music performances.

Typical for the region are the ice age pools, so-called celestial eyes, several fruit tree avenues and the location on the Peenestrom. The proximity to the foothills of the two nature parks of Usedom Island and the Peene Valley river landscape favors a rich fauna and flora. Barthold von Quistorp from the noble family von Quistorp , who lived on the estates of Bauer, Krenzow and Vorwerk Lassan until 1945, described the landscape as follows in 1903:

“Gut Vorwerk adjoins the town of Lassan to the south. Located on the bank of the Peenestrom, where it connects the lagoon with the open sea and widens to the bulge of the backwater, it offers scenic beauties that are otherwise denied to the gently rolling West Pomerania. From the Lassaner Bay your gaze wanders over the broad river to the shores of the island of Usedom, whose high-lying churches, whose forests and fields, alternating with the waves of the deeply flushing water, create an attractive picture. "

- Barthold from Quistorp
