Mildenitz (river)
The Mildenitz is a right tributary of the Warnow in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , which runs entirely in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district.
River course
The Mildenitz rises on the central southern edge of the Nossentiner / Schwinzer Heide nature reserve . There their source is nine kilometers northwest of Plau am See between the villages of Zarchlin and Klein Wangelin in a meadow area east of Lake Penzlin in a bifurcation . The river has a total catchment area of 524 km².
Already about three kilometers from its starting point, the Mildenitz has developed into a sizable stream through tributaries from small side ditches and meadow breaks. The 62 kilometer long path initially leads in a northeasterly direction into the Damerower Forest through pine forest and moorland to Damerower See . The Mildenitz is now in the area of the Nossentiner / Schwinzer Heide nature park, through which it flows over long stretches. On this section, the course of the river still has areas that are quite natural. From the exit on the western bank of Lake Dammerower, it flows through the village of Sandhof towards the west as a dead straight canal into the Great and Small Serrahn , a nature reserve of 722 hectares between Sandhof and Lake Goldberg . 200 years ago, the area of the Great Serrahns was a shallow lake that by lowering the water level silted is. The Serrahn is a restricted area of the Bundeswehr and not accessible. After about a kilometer, the Mildenitz flows into the Goldberger See on the southeastern bank. From the west bank, the further path leads as a small stream through the town of Goldberg , past the local history museum. In earlier times the building was the water-powered official mill. Coming from Goldberg, the Mildenitz flows under the wooden bridge on Bollbrügger Weg in the Zidderich meadow area in the Dobbertiner See .
The Dobbertiner See, once also called Jawir See , is closely linked to the history of the former Dobbertine Benedictine monastery , which has been on the northern shore of the lake since 1220 . The runoff of the Mildenitz is split in two on the north bank. The path over the fish ladder at the monastery park is new. The old course of the stream leads under the watermill with the eel trap, past the old monastery mill, and on towards Dobbiner and Klädener Plage. It is a lowland named after the two Dobbertin districts Dobbin and Kläden , which was once a shallow lake. The straightened Mildenitz flows about four kilometers further between the Paradieskoppel with its juniper population and the Klädener Plage to the Alte Klädener mill. The Mildenitz breakthrough valley begins here. Kladener Plage and the breakthrough valley are part of the Klädener Plage and Mildenitz breakthrough valley nature reserve .
The approximately one and a half kilometer long and narrow section through the breakthrough valley is one of the most beautiful in Mildenitz. Here the river makes its way through a terminal moraine , the steep slopes of which rise to over 15 meters. Old beech trees frame the valley. Some are uprooted in or across the water. A rest area with explanatory boards provides information about flora and fauna.
The Mildenitz breakthrough valley is next to the breakthrough stretches of the Warnow and Nebel rivers one of the three large Mecklenburg breakthrough valleys within the ice edge of the Pomeranian stage of the Vistula glaciation . In the Mildenitz breakthrough valley there are seven levels of leveling at different altitudes, five of which are viewed as terraces of the Mildenitz. The relocation of the Mildenitz river in the area of the Black Lake in the first half of the 19th century was the last major intervention in the Mildenitz breakthrough valley.
After the breakthrough valley through the terminal moraine, it continues into the Black Lake , a forest lake with dark water color. After the northern confluence, the Mildenitz leaves the lake only a few meters further. A little south of the Chaussee to Sternberg it receives a tributary from the Bresenitz coming north from the Woseriner See . Through the forest of the Schlower Forst it goes with numerous river meanders into the Borkower See and out again on its northern side. At the exit of Borkow, it then flows with a gradient of several meters under the bridge of the federal highway 192, past the estate of the village, and after another three kilometers flows into the Rothener See .
Then a breakthrough section is crossed at the Rothener Mühle. The Mildenitz reaches a height loss of 22.5 meters here. While some of the water in the old river bed can continue to flow, 500 meters behind Lake Rothen most of it is channeled via the 5.8 km long Mildenitz Canal, which is partially piped, into the reservoir near the village of Zülow . In Zülow, this water is used to operate the Zülow hydropower plant , which was built in 1924 and, with a gradient of 22 meters, is the largest hydropower plant in West Mecklenburg.
After three kilometers, the Mildenitz and Mildenitz Canal flow separately under the federal highway 104 through into the Trenntsee . This lake, located north of Sternberg , is one of the four lakes in the city, which are all connected to one another. From the Trenntsee through the Großer Sternberger See , the Mildenitz leaves the lake on the northern bank and flows through a valley to the town of Sternberger Burg. Only a few hundred meters further north the Mildenitz flows into the Warnow . At Groß Görnow, we continue through a breakthrough valley up to 40 meters deep towards the Baltic Sea.
Watershed
The source of the Mildenitz lies on the North Sea-Baltic Sea divide . This means that the Mildenitz flowing north, on the Warnow the Baltic drives, while only short streams and trenches which arise on the southern side of the Höhenzugs at Plauerhagen, on the Elde and Elbe in the North Sea flow.
history
The Mildenitz was first mentioned in 1237 as Bach Milnitz when the Dobbertiner monastery was expanded . In this document, Mr. zu Werle and Rostock Nikolaus confirmed the boundaries of the monastery area, including [...] the Milnitz (Mildenitz) brook from Jawir See (Dobbertiner See) to Lake Wostrowitz (the drained Klädener and Dobbiner See ) and on to the brook Bresenitze (Bresenitz) [...]
Along the course of the Mildenitz river through the Dobbertiner monastery area, the river bank was cleaned in 1814 and 1815 to avoid drainage problems and further bank clearings were carried out from 1873 to 1922.
