The Scharsee is a small lake in Holstein Switzerland . It is located on the former federal highway 76 southeast of the town of Preetz , east of Schellhorn and north of the Lanker See , into which the Scharsee drains. The place Scharstorf, first mentioned in 1224 and now part of Schellhorn, is located on the north bank of the water.

The body of water is 36.3 hectares in size, up to 2.9 meters deep and is about 20.8  m above sea level. NN .

ecology

Fish deaths from 1986

In 1986 there was extensive fish death in the shallow Scharsee. Since then, however, a fish population has been able to re-establish itself through immigration and targeted stocking measures. After investigations in 2001 and 2004, the following species live in the Scharsee again today: pike, bream, gudgeon, moderlieschen, roach, rudd, tench, wolffish, eel, burbot, three-spined stickleback, dwarf stickleback, ruffle, perch, carp, crayfish, flatfish Pond clam and common pond clam.

Of these 18 species, perch, roach and carp are particularly numerous. A small population of the crayfish species Kamberkrebs could also be detected. The assessment by the authorities is therefore positive overall, as it is stated that the fish deaths have left no visible traces in the Scharsee after just a few years of recovery.

archeology

Slavic ramparts

From the east bank of the Scharsee a forked peninsula about 400 meters long protrudes west into the lake, which on average rises above the present water level by two meters. The area now used as pastureland has repeatedly attracted archaeologists . As Struve (1981) describes, a village teacher and his school class found numerous ceramic shards and bones in 1886 . He thus triggered the first excavation. In 1890, 1959 and 1972 the two-part castle of Scharstorf, Kr. Plön was intensively researched.

The ramparts

On the southern edge of the peninsula there is a heavily looped Slavic castle wall ruin with a diameter of 70 m, which dates back to the 9th – 10th centuries. Century is dated. Arch-shaped double rows of piles that are inclined outwards run parallel to the embankment. According to the excavation findings, there was a zone of dense settlement between the wall and the piles, similar to that around the castle wall in Alt Lübeck and Warder, Segeberg district.

The section wall and the outer bailey

The 150 m long section wall, which seals off the peninsula on the east side and protects a bailey, is better preserved. The wall is still up to 2.5 m high and today 20 to 25 m wide. The original width was only eight meters, the height at least four meters. A second, less densely populated area was located on the outer bailey. A gravel path leads from the dam between the castle and the outer bailey over the outer bailey area to the point where the gate in the section wall is suspected. Between the outer bailey and the ring wall there is a swampy meadow, over which a low dam leads, which already connected the main castle and the outer bailey in Slavic times. The whole thing is strongly reminiscent of the Groß Raden plant in Mecklenburg .
