Chain of two lakes, artificially created in 1979 |
|
The Ohresee is an artificially created body of water fed by the Ohre in Brome ( Lower Saxony ). It consists of the "Kleiner Ohresee" and the "Großer Ohresee".
geography
The two lakes are located on the edge of the core town of Brome. The upper Kleine Ohresee is located roughly in a north-west-south-east direction; it is around 300 meters long and almost 100 meters wide. The Großer Ohresee is also around 300 meters long, but is around 180 meters wide. It lies roughly in a west-east direction, only separated from the upper lake by a crossing with a weir . There is an observation platform for beavers at the Kleiner Ohresee . Sidewalks run along the entire bank.
The ear flows south of the Großer Ohresees as a flood . The “Ohresee” development area is just under 100 meters from the lake. Other buildings such as the “Perle an der Ohre” community center are also located near the lake. Immediately upstream is the nature reserve Ohreaue near Altendorf and Brome . Immediately downstream on an artificially created arm of the river is the natural experience area “Ohremühlengraben”.

history
Until 1979 the area of today's Ohresees was a swamp area fed by the Ohre. With the creation of the two lakes and the relocation of the Ohrelauf to the south of the two lakes, it was transformed into an easily accessible local recreation area. Twice it came for blue algae to fish kills . Initially, attempts were made to increase the oxygen content through ventilation hoses, but the lake "overturned" again. From 2015 onwards, the algae bloom was combated using ultrasound devices as part of a research project .
Every February since 2000, the “Bromer Eiswette” has been held, which is about whether the “Kiepenkerl”, a man with a Kiepe , can cross the Großer Ohresee with dry feet.
