Vinetabank
With Vineta Bank , formerly Vinetariff , one is shoal of Baltic Sea in the Pomeranian Bay called. It is located about halfway between Zinnowitz and Koserow 1 to 1.5 kilometers from the coast at the level of the former Koserower Vorwerk Damerow .
The forecast by the Bank of Vineta location of the sunken city of Vineta . The reformer Johannes Bugenhagen reported for the first time in the 16th century in his chronicle “Pomerania” that, according to popular belief, remains of the submerged city can be found off the coast of Usedom . Thomas Kantzow reported on large accumulations of stones on the sea floor, which occasionally protruded over the water and which he took for foundation stones. Joachim Nettelbeck came across the Vineta Reef in 1775 and partially explored it. He thought a deliberate arrangement of the stones was unlikely. He interpreted fragments of roof tiles found on site as the remains of strandings, which were not uncommon in the Vinetabank area. So at the end of July 1891 the side paddle steamer Cuxhaven of the Stettiner Seebäder shipping company Ballin & Braeunlich had an accident here .
In the 19th and 20th centuries, large quantities of the stones lying in the water, which can be traced back to ice age deposits, were removed and used to build piers and bank reinforcements. The Świnoujście jetties, in particular , were partly built from 1818 with tongued stones from the Vinetabank ( lifted with wreath tongs).
