Schnakenwerder is a shoal in the Greifswalder Bodden , west of the island of Vilm .

history

Originally an island, it can still be recognized as such on the Swedish matriculation cards 1692–1709 as well as on Caspar David Friedrich's work "Landscape with a Rainbow", created around 1810. Around this time Johann Jacob Grümbke describes Schnakenwerder as a "small bushy patch of earth", located northwest of the Wendeholzes, between large and small Vilm. In the time around 1700 the surface of the island was about one hectare.

According to a story based on Alfred Haas , the island was set as a prize in a chess game between the King of Denmark and the Princess zu Putbus in the 1840s . The King of Denmark in turn set a small sandwerder near the island of Moen . The game was lost for the princess and the island became the property of the King of Denmark. For the period in the middle of the 19th century, the Schnakenwerder was still sufficient as a summer pasture for a mare and foal. In the autumn of 1858 the last large oak tree still standing on the island fell over. For a while some scrub remained as vegetation on the island.

Like the stubber , it seems to have been flooded by the Greifswalder Bodden by storm floods and erosion by the beginning of the 20th century at the latest. On October 24, 1945, the Ammunition-laden Finowmasskahn No. 139 of the skipper Max Daberkow ran into the shallows and exploded; all 81 people on board were killed. Due to the risk from old ammunition, the area around Schnakenwerder is marked as a restricted area on the maps of the Federal Maritime and Hydrological Agency .
