The Malkwitzer See is a lake in the municipality of Hohen Wangelin in the lake district of Waren in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . Due to an artificial connection to Lake Kraaz , it is the origin of the fog today .
description
The eponymous town of Malkwitz is about half a kilometer south of the lake. The 1.09 km² large body of water has an approximately oval shape and is about 1.6 kilometers in east-west and 0.8 kilometers in north-south direction. The deepest points are in the eastern part of the lake basin. Drainage ditches in the near western and southern surroundings flow into the lake. The MV Water Framework Directive regards a ditch that rises about 1.2 kilometers south of the lake and leads into the lake as a source of fog. The fog leaves the lake in an easterly direction to Lake Kraaz, about 700 meters away. The lake drains over the fog and the Warnow to the Baltic Sea. The North Sea-Baltic Sea watershed runs just under a kilometer south of the body of water.
The Malkwitzer See is a clear water lake and, together with the Kraazer See and the Hofsee, belongs to the 508 hectare nature reserve Obere Nebelseen, which has existed since 1996 . It is forbidden to use watercraft of any kind. Bathing is allowed in certain places.
history
The Upper Fog Lakes were formed by dead ice blocks from the Frankfurt advance of the Vistula Ice Age , which were covered by sander material from the Pomeranian advance and therefore melted more slowly than the rest of the ice. The Malkwitz lake was originally a flow-through lake, that is, it had no above-ground inflows or outflows and was mainly crossed by groundwater. During the German settlement of the region, the lake was artificially connected to the Kraazer See lake to the east and mill ropes were built within the chain of lakes. The establishment of farms around Lake Malkwitz around 1830 led to further drainage measures. The lakes were once owned by the Malchow Monastery . During the GDR era, water was taken from them to irrigate arable land, and the liquid manure from the cattle fattening facility in Hohen Wangelin, which has existed since 1975, was rained in the area. Until 1997 pumping stations drained the bordering bogs.
