The Röggeliner See is a lake in the Schaalsee biosphere reserve in northwest Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
description
The structured Flachsee is mainly in the municipality of Carlow in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg. The town of Klockstorf is on the north bank, and the community of Dechow with the towns of Dechow and Röggelin borders on the south and south-east bank . Only a small part of the lake including a small island with a deciduous forest belongs to the municipality of Dechow. Another island overgrown with mixed forest lies in the middle of the lake, one with reeds near the northwest shore. The water has maximum dimensions of 2.24 by 1.16 kilometers. The mean depth is 2.9 meters. The deepest point at 6.8 meters is in the eastern bay. There are accesses to the lake in the localities of Klocksdorf and in the northern area of Dechow. There are bathing areas and jetties in both places. The main entrance to the lake, however, is the Klocksdorf fishery jetty south of Klocksdorf. There is also a parking lot and an observation tower here.
The lake and the Kuhlrader Moor bordering it to the west were created by dead ice cave forms , which remained after the Pomeranian maximum advance of the Vistula Ice Age after the glacier melted. The basin in which the lake and moor lie was originally without any drainage. The lake is fed by several ditches. The catchment area is about 16 km². To the north, the lake initially flows piped over the Schoorbeck towards Stover Mühlenbach and Maurine .
Most of the lake, adjacent banks and the Kuhlrader Moor belong to the nature reserve Kuhlrader Moor and Röggeliner See , which is part of the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve . As early as 1956, areas in this area were placed under nature protection, there were extensions in 1967 and 1972. Today (as of 2003) it has a size of 328 hectares. The purpose of protection is the preservation and development of the nutrient-poor shallow lake and the largely arid and nutrient-poor Kuhlrader Moor. The lake is classified as moderately eutrophic .
On the large island in the lake there has been a cormorant colony since 1992 , which can be easily recognized by the dead eyrie trees, the trunks of which are whitewashed by the droppings of the birds. In 1996 there were 171 breeding pairs.
In the Middle Ages, the largest knight's castle in the Ratzeburg diocese was located on the peninsula in the lake near Röggelin . According to legend, the stones from the castle were used to build the foundations of the Demern village church around 1480 .
