The Salbker See II is a lake in the south of the city of Magdeburg .

geography

It is located to the east of the Magdeburg district of Fermersleben , to whose district it belongs , despite being named after the district of Salbke further south . The Elbe flows just a little east of the lake . On the eastern shore of the lake, on the Katzenwerder , are the facilities of the Fermersleben sport boat harbor on the Elbe with the buildings of the Buckau-Fermersleben water sports club and the West Elbe cycle path. The Wolfswerder extends to the north . The Salbker See II covers an area of ​​19.1 hectares , other data give the size of about 14 hectares or even only 10 hectares. The water depth is two to five meters, with the water level also being influenced by the Nahe Elbe. The banks rise gently. Only in the south-west is the bank one meter above the water surface. South of the lake, separated only by a 100-meter-wide dam, there is the larger Salbker See I . Both lakes belong to the floodplain of the Elbe and are affected by flooding in the event of major flood events, including their surrounding area.

Fauna and farming

The fish population is particularly characterized by pikeperch , roach , lead , perch, eel and carp . In the 1980s it is reported that ice fishing for perch with the Mormyshka was very popular on the lake .

The lake is managed by the Buckau-Fermersleben water sports club.

history

The Salbker See II was created as a result of gravel mining from 1973 and is a little younger than the Salbker See I, which was created for the same reason. The gravel was driven directly from the mining to the former construction site of the Magdeburger Ring . During gravel mining, the surprising problem arose that at a depth of five to six meters, digested sludge was encountered, which came from an old course of the Elbe, which was still open until around the year 1000, at least as a muddy old course. Further problems arose when an old bank fortification was found in the southern part of what is now the west bank of the lake. It consisted of strong, sharpened driven piles and very heavy rubble stones made from Gommeran quartzite . It is believed that it was the remains of a ferry station, probably in the direction of Prester , or a landing stage for merchant ships. A medium-Slavic pot was found in the mud in this area, but it had been crushed by the gravel dredger. Various other archaeological finds were made below the bank reinforcement. In addition to shards of a Slavic vessel, a Roman provincial ladle, a Roman bridle and millstones from a rotary mill were found. While the pot was probably sunk on site, it is assumed that the other finds were washed ashore at a time when there was still a current in the oxbow lake. The ladle is estimated to date from the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 3rd century and shows traces of contemporary repair. A skull found nearby was also suggested that it was a grave find, which may include the snaffle. However, since the actual discovery was only made during the dredging and the original location and smaller finds remained unclear, this question could no longer be answered. A cultic significance was also considered.

In 1983 gravel mining was stopped. Before that, there was the parcel of land belonging to Fermersleben, Der Anger , through which the brawn meandered. The area was level and was used for agriculture. In 1983 the shores of the lake were straightened and filled with sand and slag. This led to an impairment of the fish population. Fishing in the lake was therefore prohibited until December 1, 1986. Its shape is almost rectangular, especially in its western section. The lake is the venue for a regular dragon boat race . On 24./25. June 2011 took place on the lake under the auspices of the Magdeburg Mayor Lutz Trümper the 13 concrete boat - Regatta held. When the Elbe floods in 2013 , the lake was flooded from June 5, 2013.
