The Spreetaler See , in Upper Sorbian Sprjewinodołski jězor , is a newly emerging lake in the Lusatian chain of lakes and is located on the territory of the Free State of Saxony in Upper Lusatia near the Spreetal , right on the border with Brandenburg.

After the expected completion of the flooding of the lake in 2015, the water surface should be 314 hectares. The volume of the lake is 97 million m³. The pH of the water is 6.5. A special feature of the Spreetaler See was the approval of the entire lake for motorized water sports (including " speed boats ") since July 15, 2010. In the meantime, the lake and its surrounding area have been declared a restricted area. A water sports center should be set up on the northwest and north banks. It was also planned to add a holiday center to the area north of Bundesstraße 97 . Another water tourism facility was planned on the south-west bank of the lake, which was to be named "Spreetaler Terrace". Via Überleiter 1 , a 2750 meter long canal, the Spreetaler See is connected to the Sabrodter See and over this to the Senftenberger See and thus to the Lusatian Lakeland .

location

The lake essentially corresponds to the former Spreetal-Nordost opencast mine and, in part, to the adjacent opencast mines Brigitta and Spreetal . It is located north of Hoyerswerda on federal road 97 near the town of Spreetal , which was built at the beginning of the 20th century as a miners' settlement for the Brigitta mine and would have been dredged over if the Spreetal-Nordost opencast mine had been continued.

history

The history of the Spreetal lake is linked to the development of lignite mining in the Spreetal / Bluno area . The Spreetal opencast mine comprises the Spreetal, Bluno and Spreetal-Nordost opencast mines. In 1863 the Lusatia lignite mining company was founded. It began in 1906 with the opening up of the Hope III mine , in order to supply the Spremberg textile factories with cheap coal, among other things. Immediately next to the Hope III mine, the Brigitta mine was opened in 1915 , which in addition to the cloth factories supplied the Trattendorf power station and the Spreetal briquette factory . In 1948 Brigitta was renamed Spreetal . The last coal train left the Spreetal opencast mine in 1983. Coal production was continued in the Spreetal-Nordost opencast mine , which had been opened up three years earlier , and was discontinued in 1991 due to the enormous decline in the demand for raw lignite. However, the coal reserves were not yet exhausted by then. After the renovation was started flooding the lake 1998 from the open pit Spreetal-northeast gives the Spreetal lake , while from the open pit Spreetal by partially backfilling with overburden from the open pit slice of Bergen lake , the Sabrodter lake , the Neuwieser lake and the Bluno South Sea arise. Since 1998, over 21 million cubic meters of iron hydroxide sludge has been washed into the lake.

Data in final state

  • Water surface: 314 ha
  • Storage volume: 97 million m³
  • Water level: 108 m above sea level
  • Water depth: 50 m
  • Flooding: 1998 to 2015 (further increase due to groundwater)

The facilitator 1

The bridge 1 connects the Spreetaler See with the Sabrodter See . It was completed on site in 2015. Over a length of 2750 meters, with a water depth of 3.50 meters, it overcomes a height difference of four meters to the deeper Sabrodter See . For this purpose, a 29.40 meter long lock was built, which has not yet been put into operation (as of 2018). The LMBV is also building a bridge over the canal, span 34.20 meters.
