The Mellensee is a lake south of Berlin near the village of Mellensee in the municipality of Am Mellensee in the Brandenburg district of Teltow-Fläming .
The sea name is probably derived from the Old Slavic word mêlĭ for shallow . In the 16th and 17th centuries, the lake temporarily bore the name of the Klausdorf bank. The inheritance register of the Zossen office records him in 1583 as Der Clausdorff and in 1655 as Der Claußdorffische See .
The lake, which is up to nine meters deep, is part of the Wolziger See - Großer Wünsdorfer See - Kleiner Wünsdorfer See - Mellensee chain of lakes , which flows from the Mellensee over the Notte Canal into the Dahme . The chain of lakes is located on the southwestern edge of the Wünsdorfer Platte in the Töpchiner Talung, a glacial channel from the Vistula Ice Age . The Große Wünsdorfer See drains into the Mellensee via the approximately three kilometers long Wünsdorfer Canal.
The village of Mellensee is located directly on the lake in the north, the area surrounding the northern end of the lake. The other west bank and the south bank belong to the district of Klausdorf. The east bank is undeveloped, the northern part belongs to the district Mellensee, the southern part of the east bank to the district Wünsdorf of the city of Zossen. At the outflow of the water there is a modernized lock system of the Notte Canal. This was built around 1600 for the transport of bricks and plaster. It forms a direct water connection to the Berlin waters. The lake is not very indented, about 2.9 kilometers long and a little over a kilometer wide. It has a catchment area of around 14 km².
In terms of fish stocks, carp, pikeperch and eel are worth mentioning.
