Special

Significant regional - and also regional - meaning comes to the bathing place Pogeez. Founded in 1953 and for decades expanded with a lot of voluntary idealism and directed by brothers Helmut and Horst Kömme The bathing facility Pogeez houses not only an important base of the German Life Saving Society ( DLRG ), but also the nation 's only diver training center for the Federal Police. In addition, the bathing place Pogeez applies because of their potent child-and family-friendly attitude as the most exemplary of its kind far beyond the borders of the Duchy of Lauenburg addition. These positive features were primarily the reason that the then German Federal President Karl Carstens Lake Ratzeburg just in the bathing site Pogeez stopped off on his much-publicized hike by the Federal Republic of Germany in 1979 - not least in order at this point both the high socio-political importance to emphasize volunteer work and to appreciate and to point to the general importance of well-managed recreational facilities.
