The Peene between Verchen and Demmin
Peene with tributaries, subsequent channels, Peenestrom
The Peene is a river in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The name comes from the Slavic word meaning " the frothy (river) ".
It flows near the town of Anklam in lent their name to the river Peene, one of the three estuaries of the Oder. In its upper reaches the Peene is divided into several smaller rivers, all of which bear the name " Peene ", each provided with an extra word. In its lower reaches the river Peene flows that descend through a wide Weichselian temporal glacial valley, which today are more nature and landscape protection areas. The Peenetal is the largest contiguous area of marshland in Europe. Due to the pristine natural areas along the Peene river is titled as the "Amazon of the North".
The Peene (Pe ) is from km 2.50 ( intersection of the Peene Malchiner channel in the West Peene ). To the mouth by the directional digging in the Peene river (km 98.16 ) is a federal waterway that is new kilometriert since 2010 To her also the estuary route belongs beside the optical trench. Responsible is the Waterways and Shipping Office Stralsund. As part of a reform of the Waterways and Shipping Administration by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development and the related reclassification of federal waterways Peene is however planned to downgrade to an "other waterway".
From her mouth to Demmin the Peene is recognized as a shipping inland waterway classification IV. Above Demmin until Malchin, is the Peene inland waterway of class III. The fairway depth is from the mouth to the northeastern end of Lake Kummerow 2.5 m, from there to km 2,50 there are 2 m.
The Peene was a much-used waterway already of old because of their relatively large cross -section ratios, the very low gradient and thus barely perceptible flow rate. Except for a few punctures and dredging, there was no water structural changes. One drawback for the shipping, there are only three bridge crossings ( movable bridges in Anklam, Demmin and Loitz ).
Headwaters
Peene
The " actual" Peene originates 5 km south of Gnoien near the road to Teterow at a height of 28 m above sea level. NN. After 2 km you reach near the village of Granzow a " Great Lake " said Pond. From there it flows south to about 15 km distant mouth of the Peene Teterower ( at 0.5 m above sea level. NN ) and then 12 km far to the east by the city Neukalen in the Lake Kummerow. From Neukalen it forms the Neukalener Peene channel.
Small Peene
Another tributary, the Teterower Peene (also called Small Peene ), rises a few kilometers southwest of Teterow. It flows through the city in the Teterower lake ( 2.2 m above sea level. NN ), this leaves at Old Sührkow and ends halfway between this and Neukalen - Karnitz in the coming from the north Peene.
West Peene
The West springs from a Peene crossed by several streams peat with multiple sources east of Vollrathsruhe and north of Klocksin. After about 4 km in a north-easterly direction it opens after it has absorbed the coming of Ziddorf mill creek, in the Malchiner lake ( 0.3 m above sea level. NN ). At the northeastern end of the lake the West Peene occurs in a wetland where today no longer navigable channel Dahmer today is the main outlet of the lake, while south of the west winds Peene as insignificant streamlet. North of the Dahmer Malchin open channel and the Ostpeene in the Malchiner Peene channel. In Malchiner harbor, at the beginning of the Peene river channel, the official chainage of the Peene begins. After 2.5 km, the river Peene channel meets the lower reaches of the developed West Peene, also called " Kiekpeene " which opens at km 4.6 in the Lake Kummerow ( 0.2 m above sea level. NN ).
Ostpeene
Your source is nearly 70 m above sea level. NN near the watershed between the North and Baltic Sea on the northern edge of the Müritz National Park on an ice age lichen ridge about 8 km east of goods at the village Kargow. From there, it flows northward through the Torgelower lake at Torgelow the lake and the knight Hagen lake. North of the village Faulenrost it takes u at 30 m. NN and 20 river miles from its source its largest tributary, the approximately 28 km long Kitten villages Peene, which rises between the villages Briggow and Bredenfelde on. In Malchin, after about 20 km, it has almost exclusively sea level.
Continue the Peene
The Peene leaves the nearly 11 km long and on average 3 km wide Lake Kummerow at the north end at Darguner district Aalbude. Two kilometers north of the lake empties the coming of Dargun Röcknitzbach in the Peene, which then flows past in a northeasterly direction to Demmin and Loitz to height Görmin and then in southeastern direction over Jarman to Anklam. The Peene in this section has almost no gradient (24 cm). In the broad glacial valley of its lower reaches there are many swamps and wetlands. In Demmin, which was seaport until the late 19th century, the water level is on average 0.1 m above sea level. NN. Here the flow from the southeast Tollense at home Demmin, and from the northwest in the Cernosin the Peene. In Loitz opens the swingarm, which runs on their last few kilometers through the valley of Ibitzgrabens, into the river. In Dersewitz there is a pumping station, by the great in times of drought, water is pumped up to the Peene- south canal to be routed through this in the eastern part of the trench and so on Friedlander Great Meadow. About 10 km east of Anklam opens the Peene after 136 km in the river Peene. 98 km of its river course are navigable.

The current and Peenestrom
The current and the river Peene together form the western tributary of the Oder and separate the island of Usedom by the Vorpommern mainland. The stream connecting the Szczecin Lagoon, also called Oderhaff, in a westerly direction with the 6 km away small delta of the Peene. From this union of the Peene river flows in a northerly direction and opens it to the east to a large bay, the backwaters. Then it narrows again and passes between hills, the city Wolgast. Approximately 15 km north of Wolgast ( between Peenemünde and Kroslin ) reached the Peenestrom the Spandowerhagener Wiek, a bay in the Bay of Greifswald, and thus the open Baltic Sea. Current and Peenestrom are seaways of the covenant, on which the Maritime Traffic Regulations applies; responsible as it is for the Peene the Waterways and Shipping Office Stralsund.
Flow reversal
Normally flows through the three estuaries of the Oder, so current / Peenestrom, Swine ( PL: Swina ) and Dievenow ( PL: Dziwna ), more water from the Lagoon in the Baltic Sea than vice versa. When a storm floods with winds from the northeast but also significant amounts of sea water into the lagoon and thus can be pushed into the river Peene.
The watershed between the Cernosin at Tribsees and Recknitz in Bad brawn is just 1.3 meters above sea level If large flood of the Oder as last time in 1997, water can the Oder by Peene and Cernosin flow upward and then reached the Baltic by Recknitz, Saal Bodden and the Grabow, ie west of the island of Rügen, after passing Ribnitz Damgarten and Barth.
Even without spectacular flood is dependent due to the small difference in height of the water level of Lake Kummerow and Malchiner from the Szczecin Lagoon.
Historical significance
Between the peace of Stockholm in 1720 and the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Peene was the border between the now Prussian Altvorpommern and the remaining in Sweden remainder of Swedish Pomerania, later called Neuvorpommern, and until 1932, the limit of the Prussian administrative district of Stralsund.
