BW

The Goossee ( Low German, High German translation would be: Gänsesee, dän. Goos Sø ) is an inland sea between the Bay of Eckernförder the communities Goosefeld, Altenhof and Eckernförde in Schleswig -Holstein. The still existing water surface of heavily silted lake shared by the municipalities Altenhof and Goosefeld, part of the sedimentation area belongs to Eckernförde. The lake was originally linked to the Baltic Sea is separated between the Eckernförder district Sandkrugbrücke and the Altenhofer district Kiekut by a dam of B 76 from the Baltic Sea, but connected by an outlet with this. Water is pumped from the lake, so that its water level is 0.7 m below sea level below that of the sea. With the implementation of the Morgenthau Plan of Goossee and his outlet to the Baltic Sea after the Second World War would have turned to the state border between Denmark and the International Zone Kaiser- Wilhelm-Kanal.

The Goossee available since the 1980s under special protection.

The Goossee was created by the Weichsel glaciation: The Baltic weichseleiszeitliche large glacier divided in Schleswig- Holstein in a " Holsteiner lobe " and a " Eckernförder lobe "; the " Eckernförder lobe " in turn divided in today Eckernförder area by taking advantage of ( some geologists opinion before the ice age scale ) depth contour of Eckernförder Bay into a northern ( " Windebyer Noor - tongue " ) and a southern ( " Wittensee - Goossee - tongue " ) Teileiszunge. The northern tongue shaped, inter alia, the Hüttener mountains that Wittensee - Goossee tongue Duvenstedter the mountains. The Goossee lowland - as Windebyer Noor - thus a still existent ice tongue basin of the Vistula glaciation; former cliffs are found both on the Eckernförder as on the Altenhofer side of the water.
