The Pinnower Kiessee is an open body of water created by gravel mining within the municipality of Pinnow in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The lake is located in the Sternberg lake landscape about ten kilometers southeast of Schwerin and 1.3 kilometers from the east bank of the Pinnower See . The water was created artificially by the accumulation of groundwater in a gravel pit. Inflows and outflows do not exist. Currently (2008) the lake measures 1.2 kilometers in length and up to 530 meters in width. More than half a million tons of gravel and sand are extracted every year.
It is worth mentioning that the water level of the Pinnower Kiessee is 38 m above sea level. NHN is about ten meters above that of the Pinnower See. Even small parts of the built-up area of the village Pinnow and the valley of the river Bietnitz running through the village lie below the water level of the Kiessee despite the small distance.
