The Schwenowseegraben is a nearly eight kilometers long river in the Brandenburg district of Oder-Spree . It rises near Behrensdorf and flows on the Beeskower Platte in a postglacial channel to the south into the Drobschsee , which drains over the Blabbergraben into the Krumme Spree .

Partly straightened and piped for road underpasses, the ditch lay largely dry in the 2010s and can hardly be seen in the landscape in parts. A longer water-bearing part is located in the area of ​​the protected Reichardtsluchs , which the ditch flows through. The Elbe river basin community rates its ecological condition as "unsatisfactory". As part of the “Krumme Spree water development concept” (GEK), the stream is to be dismantled as naturally as possible and its continuity restored in accordance with the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD).

Location and natural space

The Schwenowseegraben is located in the southwestern part of the Beeskower Platte , which is listed as No. 824 in the natural spatial main units of Germany in the main unit group No. 82 East Brandenburg Heath and Lake Area . The flat, undulating plateau is predominantly a floor moraine from the Saale Ice Age , the surface shape of which was formed by renewed glaciation in the last Ice Age . The Schwenowseegraben runs between the southern part of the Scharmützelsee-Glubigseen-Rinne , which borders the Beeskower Platte to the west, and the Blabbergraben in the east. Its source area lies roughly between the Großer Glubigsee in the west and the Lindenberger See in the east.

course

Source area near Behrensdorf

The source area of ​​the Schwenowseegraben lies in an open , arable cultural landscape east of Behrensdorf , a district of the municipality of Rietz-Neuendorf . Shortly after it began, it crossed state road 422 in a pipe penetration , which connects Behrensdorf with the community neighbor Ahrensdorf . On the road he enters the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park , where he remains for the rest of the way. On his way south he reaches a small forest area, now in the western district of Ahrensdorf, in which he swings west and in which his track is temporarily lost according to the representation of the Brandenburg viewer of the state survey and geographic base information Brandenburg . After around one hundred meters, the ditch becomes visible again, turns south again and forms the border between open land and individual forest edges between Ahrensdorf and the Limsdorf district of the city of Storkow . Shortly before the state road 42 , which connects Limsdorf and Ahrensdorf and which it in turn crosses under pipes, it reaches the FFH and Natura 2000 area Schwenower Forest supplement in Limsdorf .

The area was in the 2010s due to its representative regional focus of occurrence of by Annex II of the Habitats Directive "strictly protected" species crested newt ( Triturus cristatus ) and fire-bellied toad ( Bombina bombina provided) under protection. On 29 hectares, it comprises  the woody, loamy-sandy land habitats and winter quarters of the amphibians around the two hectare Reichardtsluch . The Luch consists of two small shallow lakes with strong seasonal water level dynamics, through which the Schwenowseegraben flows from north to south. After exiting the lynx lakes, the brook flows in an extensive forest area to the southeast and reaches the district of Schwenow , a part of the municipality of Storkow, which belongs to Limsdorf as a residential area. Around the level of the blabber sheep farm to the east, the direction of flow changes to the south or slightly southwest. North of Schwenow it reaches the 746 hectare FFH and nature reserve Schwenower Forest . Past the village of Schwenow, which he leaves to the west, the Schwenowseegraben flows into the northern tip of the eponymous Schwenowsee . It leaves the lake around the lower east bank towards the east and, after its last 280 meter long section, now on the boundary of the diving district of Görsdorf , flows into the southern bay of Drobschsee , which is under the name Drobschseerinne as a nature development area (previously: total reserve ) under special protection and is marked as Zone 1 within the Schwenower Forest nature reserve .

ecology

Anthropogenic pressures and ecological status

Pipe penetration under Landesstrasse 42 on Reichardtsluch

According to the Elbe River Basin Community (FGG Elbe), there are significant anthropogenic sources of pollution for the Schwenowseegraben in agricultural activities (through infiltration , erosion , discharge, drainage , changes in management or afforestation ), leaching of materials and structures in areas without sewers , rainwater discharge and others - unspecified - "diffuse sources". The FGG rates the ecological status or the ecological potential of the water body as “unsatisfactory” (“4” on a five-point scale). The chemical status according to the Surface Water Ordinance (OGewV) has not been classified. The FGG indicates the determination reliability of the ecological assessment as "medium", which means that the "assessment results are not yet available for all procedures for the relevant quality components that are in conformity with the WFD and recognized by LAWA ." See the impact of the pollution on the water body the FGG in nutrient enrichment ( eutrophication ), pollution and habitat changes due to hydromorphological changes.

For the Schwenowseegraben - as for other bodies of water in its area of ​​responsibility - the FGG adopted the exception rule for the extension of deadlines according to Art. 4 Para. 4 WFD or less stringent environmental goals according to Art. 4 in the “Draft of the update of the management plan [...]” from 2014 Paragraph 5 of the WFD. The FGG justifies the application for the Schwenowseegraben with the "mandatory technical sequence of measures" and with the "temporal effect of measures already initiated or planned". The regional community, which was founded by ten German states , wants to complete the full implementation of the WFD targets by reducing the pollution of the brook by 2027 at the latest if the deadline is extended.

Part of the Krumme Spree water development concept

Dry section north of the lynx

The "Water Development Concept (GEK) Krumme Spree" is an essential part of improving the ecological condition of the stream. On an area of ​​26,924 hectares, it encompasses  a 99.5-kilometer network of waterways , consisting of the Krumme Spree, three lakes ( Groß Leuthener See , Kossenblatter See , Neuendorfer See ) and seven ditches and streams flowing into the Spree, including the Schwenowseegraben. The concept for the near-natural development of rivers provides within the framework of the WFD that the water “become cleaner, closer to nature and more species-rich again. [...] The focus of the planning is on measures to improve the water structure and ecological continuity. ”The concept emphasizes their ecological quality as a decisive criterion when assessing the water bodies . The limnological concept is being developed by private planning offices on behalf of the Brandenburg State Environment Agency and accompanied and coordinated by the Cottbus Division RS5 - Water Management , Hydrology , Flood Protection. A project-accompanying working group (PAG) made up of offices, municipalities and associations is also involved in the development.
