The Quenzsee is a Havel - Lake in the western city of Brandenburg an der Havel .
location
The Quenzsee is located at the western exit of the Silo Canal , which since 1910 has spared shipping the passage of the partly narrow Brandenburger Niederhavel, which runs south through the urban area of Brandenburg , and has saved 2 km of the journey. The Quenzsee is part of the federal waterway Untere Havel waterway of waterway class IV, for which the Brandenburg Waterways and Shipping Office is responsible. In the south, the lake is connected to the Plauer See lake district . It forms the end of the so-called glacial Bohnenland-Görden-Rinne . In addition to the silo canal, the Quenzgraben from the nearby Gördensee also flows into the Quenzsee .
Expansion and depth
The Quenzsee covers an area of around 68 hectares (see list of lakes in Brandenburg ). Other authors give 90 ha. Outside the approx. 1.3 km long fairway, its maximum depth is just over three meters.
Origin and age
The Quenzsee was created together with the Breitlingsee , the Plauer See and the Möserschen See after the melting of the glacier in the Brandenburg stage of the Vistula Ice Age about 19,000 years ago as a ground moraine lake .
Surname
The meaning of the name is uncertain. Some authors attribute it to the Old Polish "kwet'ny" from kvet = "flower", which would translate as "flower, colored" (compare Russian: цвет "color", цветка "flower").
Others
A settlement area of the city of Brandenburg was named “Der Quenz” after the Quenzsee. The Quenz is predominantly dominated by the location of an electrical steelworks. This steel mill is located on the east bank of the Quenzsee.
