Lewitz Lock and Hydroelectric Power Station

Highlight • Structure

The Elde is the longest river in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, lies in the south and southwest of this country and connects the area around the Müritz with the Elbe. It flows through several large lakes of the Mecklenburg Lake District in its upper reaches. The last of these lakes is the Plauer See, from which the river is regulated. 180 km of the 208 km long Elde from the southern edge of the Müritz to the Elbe at Dömitz are navigable. They form the Müritz-Elde waterway designated as the federal waterway

At the Neuhöfer carp ponds the Lewitzschleuse is located with a hydroelectric power station. One of 17 locks. Of the 22 hydroelectric power plants in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, 9 are located on the Elde and on the Elde side canal. Here there is a drop of 50 m and they use the free-flow at the locks. The lock was closed in 2009, renovated and reopened in 2010.

Dütschower Brücke Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the observation tower you have a wonderful view of the Lewitz with its ponds, moors, canals, meadows and forests. Photographers with telephoto lenses get their money's worth here.

You can skate here. But you don't have to. The landscape is beautiful, but the asphalt is terrible. It's better to get here on foot than hiker or by bike. This way you can enjoy the landscape much better than constantly being careful not to fall.

Lewitz Fish Ponds

Highlight • Lake

This area with the fish ponds (17 hectares) was artificially created around 1900. Since the soil was not very good here, this area was flooded and used for fish farming. Now it is a nature reserve and a paradise for birds. The following link describes this best with text and images: natur-beobachtungen.de/orte/lewitz.html

Friedrichsmoor Hunting Lodge

Highlight • Historical Site

Around 1704, Frederick William I (Mecklenburg) built a wooden hut with oak boards and painted log cabin as a hunting lodge on the site of today's restored hunting lodge. Baumeister was allegedly the engineer captain Jacob Reutz, who was also responsible for the development of the Schwerin Schelfstadt and its Schelfkirche. According to an old Havemann chronicle, the hunting lodge was built with superimposed beams. The joints are sealed with moss, the walls are covered with oak boards and painted on the outside. The plant consisted of the Corps de logis with two floors and two single-storey wings. In the dining-room the Duke had left all his old life-size hunters abconterfeyen, who were very similarly struck .... The roof of the corps de logis was covered with wooden shingles. As Schmiederechnungen prove, the cabin must have been completed in 1709. Nothing of the old hunting lodge has been preserved.

In 1791, Duke Friedrich Franz I, the first Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, had his new half-timbered hunting lodge built on the site of the old hunting lodge in Friedrichsmoor. The single-storey three-wing complex was built by the court architect Johann Christoph Heinrich von Seydewitz until 1793. The middle of the courtyard and garden façade was each highlighted by a three-axle roof with half-round gable.

At the time of the construction wood shortage prevailed, since the Lewitz was almost completely deforested around 1770. The foresters of the since 1709 in Friedrichsmoor existing forestry office, which had to procure the lumber, provided over the years for reforestation.

Now it is a hotel.
