The Maisinger See is a silting lake near Maising , a district of the Upper Bavarian municipality of Pöcking in Germany .

history

Like many other lakes in the Fünfseenland , the Maisinger See was created towards the end of the Würme Ice Age by the thrust of the Isar-Loisach glacier . The lake is mentioned for the first time in 1450 in the Salbuch of the Pähl regional court : Item of the Mawsinger See belongs to Starnbergk . This shows that the lake was under the Starnberg caste office and was therefore owned by the Bavarian sovereign. In 1602, on the other hand, the water must have belonged to the property of the Dießen monastery , because according to records there the provost of the monastery had leased it to the Seehieter zu Meising . For reasons unknown up to now, the lake was again the property of the sovereign in the 17th century, as the lake masters paid their duties to the Starnberg caste office from 1642 at the latest. The lake, which is rich in fish, was transferred to private ownership in 1866. The millers' couple Bartl from Maisingen acquired the lake at an auction of state goods.

An inventory by the Court Marshal's Office from 1865 provides information about the fish population in the lake. “The Maisinger See with fishing rights in it is fished every three years. Yield: 20  cwt. Carp , 3 cwt. Pike , ½ cwt. Birschling , 1 cwt. Tench , 6 cwt. White fish and red-eye ".

Protection dam on the east bank of the lake, on the right the Gasthaus Seehof

In order to protect the somewhat lower-lying town of Maising from flooding, a low dam, around 2.5 meters high, has probably existed on the east side of the lake since early times. Extremely heavy rains led to the fact that this protective wall was flooded on June 22, 1885 and broke. There was considerable damage to the houses in the valley of the Maisinger Bach , on the paths and bridges in the Maisinger Gorge and in Starnberg . Because of this accident, the new flood dam was reinforced and expanded much more strongly. This creates the impression that the Maisinger See is not a natural lake, but a reservoir .

description

The lake was used around 1600 by the Dießen monastery to improve the food supply for the surrounding population for fish farming. Its area was larger then than it is today. In 1825 it was 55 hectares, but due to heavy silting processes, the lake today only has an open water surface of no more than 10 hectares. The siltation is promoted by the shallow depth. On average, the lake is no deeper than one meter, and near the streams it should be up to two meters deep. Because of this, it can freeze to the ground in winter.

Part of the Weiherbach flows into the southern tip of the lake . The larger part of the brook flows as a fall brook east of the lake and unites with the outflow of the lake to the Maisinger brook . There is another inflow at the northern tip. The nutrient content of the lake water is meso- to eutrophic . The lake is surrounded by a dense belt of reeds. It is life-threatening to penetrate there, as in many places the ground floats on an invisible surface of water (swimming lawn). There is only permanent access to the lake at the dam in the east. There is also a small lawn for sunbathing here. It is the only place where you can swim in the lake. It is officially forbidden to bathe in any other place or to use watercraft or all kinds of floats.

Until a few years ago, the water was used for fish farming and was drained every year in October so that the carp and tench used in spring could be collected. Now, however, the lake is only fished every five years.

Nature reserve

Shore area of ​​the lake

The Maisinger See is of great importance as a breeding or resting place for rare bird species. To protect the first Bavarian black-headed gull colony, the lake was placed under nature protection in 1941. The nature reserve Maisinger See (NSG-00313.01) is one of the oldest nature reserves in Bavaria. Today it has an area of ​​122 ha and consists of 10% open lake area, 80% moor and swamp and 10% wet grassland. The low and intermediate moors are home to many animal and plant species that have become rare in the meantime, such as the marsh glossy herb or the broad-edged beetle , which has one of its last habitats in Germany at the Maisinger See. They are of great value for species and biotope protection and therefore - in addition to the entire lake area - have been an FFH area since 2004 .

Problems exist both from the lake's formation and shrub cover and from the damage caused by those seeking relaxation.
