It also served as a dam for the city ponds and as a dam that was supposed to protect the ponds, which were used as a source of drinking water, against the water of the Strelasund running up during floods .

Knöchelsöhren can be explained as follows: ankle comes from the Low German word Knevel what the name of a small hill is. However, this hill was leveled when the houses were built. Öhren comes from the Low German word Hörn , which stands for a hill as well as a corner or angle.
