Tornows Werderchen is one of four islands in Lake Teupitz in the Dahme-Spreewald district in Brandenburg . This is part of the Teupitz waters .
location
The approximately one hectare island is located in the northwestern area of the lake and west of the city center. It is around 210 meters long and up to 150 meters wide. The banks of the Teupitz district of Egsdorf are around 75 meters away . To the southeast lies the much larger island of Egsdorfer Horst . The eponymous restaurant Tornows 's Idyll has been located there since 1896 . Two other, unnamed islands are located in the eastern part of the lake.
history
Like the lake, the island is of natural origin and belonged to the lands of the castle in Teupitz . In 1717 it passed from the possession of the Schenk von Landsberg family to Friedrich Wilhelm I and in 1860 it finally became the property of Baron von Parpart , who acquired the property. He sold the island in 1875 to a technician Franz Greiner , who in turn sold it again. After several changes of ownership, the Berlin merchant Otto Grunsfeld became aware of an artists' colony at the end of the 19th century, which had emerged around 1895 on the Großer Karbuschsee in neighboring Groß Köris . His plans, as managing director of the artists' colony Teupitzwerder GmbH, also to expand the small island into such a colony, failed for reasons that have not been handed down. Grunsfeld sold the island in 1911. Further changes of ownership followed until the Jewish lawyer Leo Koplowitz became the owner in 1928. Two years later, the city decided on a development plan with a plot of land . A ferry service to the mainland was set up. One of the residents was, for example, the painter Walter Lindgens (1883–1978), who bought almost half of the island in 1935 and had a summer house with a studio built.
After the end of the Second World War , the original owners did not initially return to the island. In the time of the GDR , the area was in 1952 for public property leased and the town Teupitz. One of the residents was the painter Bert Heller , who stayed on the island until 1967. During this time the painting Marktplatz Teupitz was created , which can be seen in Teupitz Town Hall . From 1958 to 1983 the dancer and chief choreographer of the German State Opera Lilo Gruber (1915–1992) owned a weekend house. After the fall of the Wall , the Jewish Claims Conference made a return transfer claim in 1992, which was finally rejected in 2005.
