The
Lagoon of the Oder River is an inland water basin situated in the southwestern part of the
Baltic Sea. It is shared by Germany and
Poland.
The
Oder lagoon () is also named after a seaport city which is about 20km upstream on the Oder,
Lagoon/Bay of Stettin/Szczecin (, ).
Geography and history
The lagoon is separated from the Baltic Sea's
Bay of Pomerania by the islands of Usedom () and Wolin, and connected with the three straits
Peenestrom, Świna () and Dziwna (). Its area is 687 km², its depth is in average 4 meters, and 6 meters at maximum.
In 1880, the
Kaiserfahrt (Emperors's passage) channel on Usedom was opened, a water route with a depth of 10 meters connecting the lagoon with the Baltic Sea by bypassing the eastern part of the Swine, allowing large ships to enter the lagoon and the seaport of Stettin quicker and safer.
The canal, approximately 12 km long and 10 meters deep, was dug by the German Empire between 1874 and 1880, during the reign of the first William I, German Emperor (1797 - 1888) after whom it was named. Also, the work resulted in a new island named Kaseburg (
Karsibór) being cut off from Usedom.
After 1945, not only areas east of Oder Neisse line were put under Polish administration, but also control of the German seaport cities of Stettin (Szczecin) and Swinemünde (Świnoujście) on the western bank of the river Oder was transferred to Poland which renamed the canal after their Piast dynasty.
The German-Polish border also divides the bight called Neuwarper See near
Rieth.
Towns in the area
Recreation
Today the lagoon offers a great selection of passenger ship tours, a wide range of water sports and some notable beaches. Tourists can discover winegrowing, the narrow-gauge
railway, museums,
castles, many hiking and cycling routes and a small village reviving the life of the former
Slavic peoples settlements.
Pollution problems
The Lagoon is known to suffer from heavy pollution mainly from the
Oder river and has suffered
eutrophication as a result. High concentrations of aluminium and iron sediments have been found in the river causing rapid
algae growth inside the lagoon. However long-term nutrient concentrations show a high inter annual variability and have declined during recent years.
