View of the White Bridge at Lake Rose

Highlight • Bridge

The lake was created as a reservoir in 1908 during the construction of the Schwentine hydroelectric power plants by shipyard founder Bernhard Howaldt and is now a fundamental part of the Schwentine Landscape Park. To create the reservoir, Bernhard Howaldt had to purchase land along the Schwentine River as far as the lands of Count Christian zu Rantzau (Rastorf Estate) and Preetz Monastery. The price per hectare at the time was approximately 2,000 marks. Raisdorf was first supplied with electricity in 1904 by the Raisdorf 1 hydroelectric power plant at the Rastorfer Mill. The Raisdorf 2 hydroelectric power plant followed in 1909. The power plants are now listed as historical monuments and are operated and maintained by Kiel's municipal utilities.

White Bridge over the Rosensee

Highlight • Bridge

Never thought the bridge was over 100 years old!
It was built in 1907, restored in 1987 and listed in 1993 as the oldest concrete arch bridge in Schleswig-Holstein.
I used it for the first time in 1986 🙂

The first bridge was built at this point in 1779. Before there was a ford through the Schwentine (the Rosensee did not exist then, because it was only dammed up in the 20th century).

The bridge is repainted every second year by residents.

Schwentine Dam and Rosensee Hydroelectric Power Station

Highlight • Monument

Shortly before the Schusteracht reaches its northernmost point in Raisdorf, it crosses the Rosensee in the Rosenfeld district of the municipality of Rastorf, which was created by the damming of the Schwentine. It is the only dam in Schleswig-Holstein. Hydroelectric power station 2 was built on the dam wall in 1909, which at that time served the engineer Bernhard Howaldt to cover the electricity requirements of his factories in Kiel. Hydroelectric power station 1 from 1904 is a little further down the river. Both power stations have been under monument protection since 1994.

Paradise for apple lovers
Visiting the Schuster fruit spring

In Raisdorf near Kiel there is a spring for apple lovers: the Schuster fruit spring. Around 90 types of apple grow here on 7 hectares in an idyllic plantation. From apples to apple juice, apple jam and apple wine, Doris Schuster and her family grow and produce everything themselves.

Fish Ladder at Rastorf Mill

Highlight • Structure

So that not only the water but also the fish can pass through the Schwentine, especially in the dammed area, a fish ladder was built at the former Rastorfer mill. Swimming from pool to pool, the fish are able to overcome the difference in height that results from the accumulation of water in the individual sections of the Schwentine. The fish ladder at the Rastorfer Mühle was completed in 2012.
Sea trout and salmon can now access the Schwentine's reservoirs from the Kiel Fjord via various fish ladders (fish ladder at the mouth of the Schwentine, via this fish ladder on the old Schwentine river bed, at hydroelectric power station I, the former Rastorfer mill and at hydroelectric power station II above the worth seeing Helix tower fish pass) almost to the spring meadow northeast of the village of Bergfeld (Kasseedorf, near Bungsberg).
