The memory Faul mill , partly as (Gottmann conveyor) damming called, is a by damming the Stepenitz and opening into it Gadebuscher Bach incurred Reservoir in nordwestmecklenburg .

Water description

Bottom slip at the outflow of the reservoir

The L-shaped and very shallow body of water has leg lengths of around 1.2 kilometers from west to east and around 700 meters from north to south. The maximum width is 200 meters. The reservoir is bordered by road embankments to the north and south. To the south there is a connection to the Rehmsee , which is directly on the other side of the street, via the Stepenitz. To the north, the Stepenitz flows over a sole slide . The Gadebusch Bach flows into the western end. The Brüsewitz districts of Gottmannsförde and Faulmühle are on the east and north-east banks, while Brüsewitz is southwest of the lake. Undeveloped areas in the area are largely used for arable farming. The municipal boundary to Dragun runs through the still water surrounded by a reed belt . The storage volume created by the traffic jam is around 600,000 m³.

The previously overgrown, flooded areas and the high proportion of digested sludge in the deposits on the lake bed are characteristic of the water . Due to the shallow water depth, no temperature stratification can develop. The polytrophic state promotes strong algae growth. In the summer of 1993 visibility depths of less than half a meter were measured.

The lake is owned by the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , and the tenants are BIMES Binnenfischerei GmbH and the state anglers' association.

The fish population includes eel , pike , perch , lead , carp and tench .

history

Before the construction of the first dam in the Schwerin district around 1981, the area was a reed depression. Around 30,000 m³ of sand were used in the construction. The Rehmsee lake to the south already existed, but increased its water surface many times over as a result of the measures.

Salad harvest in VEG Warnitz (1985)

The reason for the construction of the dam was the water requirement of the people's own estate (VEG) Warnitz , which cultivates the surrounding fields and which annually harvests around 6000 tons of vegetables. A higher congestion destination was originally planned. After weighing the benefits with possible negative effects, however, this was reduced and water consumption was optimized through crop rotations and modern irrigation control. In connection with the work, another weir and a pumping station were built at the outflow of the Cramoner See in the Stepenitz course .

To compensate for damage to the landscape and nature, numerous trees and shrubs were planted in the vicinity of the Faulmühler reservoir. The backwater in the lower reaches of the Gadebusch brook had an impact on the park of the former Brüsewitz manor house. In order to protect the old oak population there, a drainage ditch, a dam, polders and a pumping station were built to keep the groundwater level low.

The weir at the outflow of the reservoir was replaced by a bottom slide in 2018, creating a permeability for fish.

Footnotes

  1. The newspaper article of February 5, 1982 named in the individual references names the actual creation of the lake as a future event. The still unplanted dam and the weir can be seen on a photo. It is therefore likely that the dam itself was completed in 1981.
