history

The lake was first mentioned in a document in 1299 ( stagnum Zwett ). Along with 38 other lakes named above, it was part of the initial equipment of the Himmelpfort monastery . The monastery had the sole right of use on this lake. The name is derived from an old Polish basic form * Svět to * svět = light; the basic form occurs more often in Slavic water names. In the inheritance register of the Badingen and Himmelpfort rulers in 1574 it is called the Schwedt , and in 1667 the Lake Schweet . In 1719 it was referred to as Schwed See , and around 1800 it was spelled Schwedt . The northern part of the lake belonged to the Ravensbrück municipality until 1950 .

The Ravensbrück memorial site borders the northeastern shore of the lake. Because the ashes from the crematorium of the Ravensbrück concentration camp were poured into the lake, it is considered "the largest mass grave in the Ravensbrück camp".
