The Malchower See is an elongated lake within the Mecklenburg Lake District in the Mecklenburg Lake District . It is part of a chain of lakes that stretches from the Müritz to the Plauer See .
geography
The body of water is located entirely in the urban area of Malchow , is 2.36 km² and merges into the Fleesensee in the east and into the Petersdorfer See in the west over the Elde river section known as Recken . The expansions are over 5 kilometers in length (not including stretching) and a maximum of 950 meters in width. The water level is 62 m above sea level. NHN .
The Malchower See is part of the federal waterway Müritz-Elde waterway with the waterway class I; The Lauenburg Waterways and Shipping Office is responsible .
The direction of flow runs from northeast to southwest. The lake basin is divided by the built-up old town island of Malchows and the earth dam leading to the island from the east. To the west there is a connection to the lake shore via the Malchower swing bridge . Built-up urban areas can be found both on the island and on the western and eastern banks.
history
Starting from the island, Malchow was expanded to the mainland after city fires from 1721. A wooden bridge led to the east bank until it was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . Between 1724 and 1846 a ferry operated in its place. In 1846 an earth dam was raised.
The island was connected to the west by a wooden bridge until 1845, by a lift bridge between 1845 and 1863 and by a wooden swing bridge since 1863. The steel bridge built in 1912 was blown up in 1945. A new swing bridge was built in 1948/49, which had to be replaced again in 1991.
The water level has been changed several times in the past centuries, mainly through human intervention. Originally, it was around 60 meters above sea level in the 12th century. The water levels within the chain of lakes from the Müritz to the Plauer See were influenced in several positive and negative steps by damming for the operation of mills and by river regulation. Today, only the Plau am See barrage at the outflow of the Plauer See has a dam-regulating effect for the chain of lakes with the dam target of 61.61 to 62.36 m above sea level. NHN.
