The Schloonsee is a freshwater lake located in the area of the municipality of Heringsdorf on the island of Usedom in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald .
location and size
It is located east of the town of Bansin and north of the federal road 111 between the Gothensee and the Baltic Sea in the Schloonseesenke, an area with alluvial sand that closed the gap between the former islands with cores around the Long Mountain in the west and the Zirowberg in the east . The municipal road from the seaside resort Bansin to Heringsdorf leads directly along the northern shore of the lake. The body of water has an approximate length of 750 meters, a width of 400 meters and an average depth of 3 meters.
History and Development
Like all lakes on the island of Usedom, the lake was formed during the last ice age . Its name, Schloonsee , refers to a body of water called the Schloon . According to Ludewig-Wilhelm Brüggemann, the Schloonsee was called "Schloon" in the 18th century. In Theodor Fontane's novel Effi Briest (1895), however, in which the Schloon plays an important role, it is a body of water that runs from the Gothensee to the Baltic Sea. In the novel it says:
“[T] his Schloon is actually just a meager trickle that comes down here to the right of Lake Gothen and creeps through the dunes. And in the summer it sometimes dries out completely, and you just drive over it and don't even know it. […] [I] m winter, it's different; not always, but often. Then it becomes a suction. […] [And] nd always strongest when the wind is towards the land. Then the wind pushes the sea water into the small trickle, but not so that you can see it. And that's the worst of it, that's where the real danger lies. Everything happens underground, and the whole beach sand is then permeated and filled with water deep down. And when you want to get over a sand spot that is no longer there, you sink in as if it were a swamp or a moor. "
The location where Sidonie von Grasenabb tells her story is likely to be on the Baltic Sea beach at the point where the Sack Canal flows into the Baltic Sea today.
In 1978 and 1979 the lake was rehabilitated. From 1981 the GDR had geological investigations carried out on the south bank of the Schloonsee. Test drilling revealed a natural gas deposit at a depth of 3900 meters with an estimated capacity of 9 million cubic meters of natural gas. However, the large proportion of hydrogen sulfide in the gas mixture would have meant a high technical and financial expense for a promotion, so the government refrained from doing so.
After the reunification , the now privatized Erdöl-Erdgas Gommern (EEG) owned by the deposit was sold by the trust to the French group Gaz de France . In 1996, the EEG applied for a production permit for natural gas. The project, which provided for a daily output of one million tons, met with widespread opposition in the area. In 2002, the state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania finally rejected natural gas production, as it gave top priority to tourism in the region and especially in the three emperor's baths.
A marina with direct access to the Baltic Sea is being planned on the Sack Canal east of the Schloonsee in Heringsdorf. First of all, the company’s Engie premises there should be relocated from Lake Schloonsee to the Bansin sewage treatment plant or the former Soviet barracks in Ahlbeck. Originally, a marina at the Heringsdorf pier was also planned, but was initially discarded due to logistical challenges.
