Sassau (Chiemsee)

Map of the Chiemsee (1906), with Sassau in the northwest (top left)

The Sázava is only around 67 hectares large, flat and partly wooded peninsula on the northwest shore of Lake Chiemsee in relation to the 780 meters distant Herreninsel . It is bounded in the west by the Aiterbacher Winkel (also: Schafwaschener Bucht ), into which the small Aiterbach flows in the hamlet of Aiterbach of the municipality of Rimsting , and in the east by the Kailbacher Winkel , on whose east bank the smaller Urfahrn peninsula connects. The peninsula belongs to the municipality of Breitbrunn am Chiemsee in the district of Rosenheim . The municipal boundary follows the shoreline throughout. The entire west side is preceded by a reed belt that is about 110 to 230 meters wide , which, like the Aiterbacher Winkel, belongs to the municipality of Rimsting (like Breitbrunn to the district of Rosenheim). With the rest of the shoreline in the east and south, the peninsula borders on the community-free area of the Chiemsee, which belongs to the Traunstein district.

The Sassau is only 180 meters wide at its narrowest point, although it appears twice as wide on the aerial photo because of the reed belt in front. At the top it reaches its maximum width of 790 meters. It protrudes about 1,800 meters into the lake to the Kailbacker Eck at its southeastern end. At its highest point, around 17 meters above lake level, is the hamlet of the same name, Sassau , which at the time of the last census (May 25, 1987) had 20 inhabitants in six buildings with living space. There are no other inhabited places on the peninsula. The former hamlet of Holzen at the southwest end, which also includes the Steindel im Holz farm 450 meters away in the southeast, was registered as uninhabited. For the 1875 census, Holzen still had eight buildings with 13 inhabitants (the Sassau district, which was then typified as a wasteland, only had four buildings with 10 inhabitants), but today only three buildings are visible (including Steindel im Holz), which, although abandoned, have house numbers of the hamlet of Sassau are provided.
