The Schwinge is an approximately 24 kilometer long stream in Western Pomerania and a left tributary of the Peene .
geography
The swing arises west of Behrenhoff . It initially runs in a north-easterly direction and turns to the north-west near Busdorf. From Busdorf it flows through a humid valley several hundred meters wide. In its further course it crosses a hilly Kames (Åser) landscape in a south-westerly direction in an erosion valley. This valley was formed as a subglacial transverse valley as a result of the melting ice at the end of the Vistula Ice Age . The initially higher amounts of meltwater formed kolk-like depressions and meanders . Moors later emerged which, as measurements at the beginning of the 20th century showed, grew up to ten meters. To the east of the town of Loitz , the Schwinge valley flows into the Ibitzgraben glacial valley . By its planar low-moor and the Peene valley it flows in southeast direction for a distance of approximately 2.5 kilometers to the mouth of the Peene.

history
In a document from Duke Casimir II from 1219, the brook was mentioned as "aqua molendini" (mill waters). It was mentioned as "Zwinga" in 1248 in a document from Duke Wartislaw III. von Pommern-Demmin when describing the boundaries of the Hilda monastery with the estates of the knightly families von Behr and von Blixen . In 1248 a water mill was mentioned at Dersekow and another at Subzow, in 1280 there were reports of five mills on the swing arm. The swing arm was dammed up for the operation of the water mills. The names of the locations Mühlenkamp and Schoppenmühle refer to former mill locations in the lower reaches of the stream.
In 1990 the middle and lower valleys were placed under protection as nature reserve Schwingetal and Peenewiesen near Trantow .
