The Müggelsee is the largest lake in Berlin with over 7.4 km² of water . To distinguish it from the small Müggelsee , which is only 15 hectares in size , it is referred to as the Großer Müggelsee . The Müggelsee belongs to the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick and is divided between its districts Köpenick (largest part, south), Friedrichshagen (southwest) and Rahnsdorf (southeast, Kleiner Müggelsee). The south bank of the Kleiner Müggelsee forms the border to the Müggelheim district .
Müggelsee is part of the Müggelspree federal waterway (MgS) as waterway class III, which is legally part of the Spree-Oder waterway ; The Berlin Waterways and Shipping Office is responsible .
geography
The lake has a water surface of over 7.4 square kilometers (maximum 4.3 kilometers long; 2.6 kilometers wide; this includes the banks in the east) and is up to eight meters deep. The lake and the Müggelberge on the southern edge , at 115 meters the highest peaks in Berlin, were created during the Pleistocene . Today's much-visited Müggelberg tower was built on the Kleiner Müggelberg in 1961 and offers a far-reaching view of the lake and the forests up to the silhouette of Berlin.
The Spree flows through the Müggelsee and is called the Müggelspree from the former Große Tränke lock , four kilometers west of Fürstenwalde, to Köpenick . On the east side, the Fredersdorfer Mühlenfließ flows into the lake from the north-northeast. The Friedrichshagen waterworks located on the north bank of the Müggelsee takes a large part of its raw water from the lake . In addition, there are numerous deep wells close to the shore, which, in addition to a small proportion of groundwater , primarily produce bank filtrate . However, since 2013 the sulphate pollution in the Müggelsee has been regularly above the drinking water limit values , which could be problematic for the drinking water supply of the capital in the long term. Most of the sulphates come from the former open-cast mining areas of the Lausitz lignite mining area .
The small Teufelssee is located around 750 meters south of the Großer Müggelsee .
etymology
The first mentions of the word component "Müggel" can be found according to Gerhard Schlimpert in the "Codex diplomaticus Brandenburgensis": 1394 as the Tyns in the Miggel and 1487 as von der Miggelseh . The etymology remains unclear. The traditional derivation from the ancient Slavic mogyla = grave, burial mound, earth mound rejects Schlimpert as not tenable. More probable is a pre-Slavic, Germanic origin from the Indo-European root migh- , mighla = fog, cloud , to which, for example, the Dutch miggelen = dust rain belongs. According to Schlimpert's analyzes, Palatinate settlers brought the word “home” in the name of today's Berlin district of Müggelheim with them from their home in Odernheim when they built the village .
history
Today's Müggelsee lido was built in 1929/1930 according to plans by Martin Wagner and Friedrich Hennings after the old outdoor pool area burned down in September 1928.
On May 24, 1932, the airship Dornier Do X landed on the Müggelsee, the largest aircraft in the world at the time, after a two-year representative flight through Europe and to South and North America.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Lake Müggelsee was a popular destination for painters, including Ernst Oppler , Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Walter Leistikow .
Leisure use and traffic
The Müggelsee has a high leisure and recreational value, especially for the eastern parts of Berlin. The Müggelsee lido alone is visited by over 100,000 people every year (as of 2009). The Große Müggelsee is an inland waterway, the inland waterway regulations apply and the SBF inland is necessary (if the drive power exceeds 15 HP or if it is a sailing boat), however, pleasure boats with a running internal combustion engine can only be driven within the fairway in the middle of the lake. Non-machine-driven watercraft, however, are allowed to sail across the entire lake area. In addition to the excursion traffic with ships of the Berliner Stern and Kreisschiffahrt and the Kutzker shipping company, the ferry line F23 Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe also operates on the east adjacent Müggelspree .
At Müggelsee there is also a water rescue station of the DLRG in Friedrichshagen and the ASB in Rahnsdorf, which are manned on weekends in the summer months.
