Pötenitzer Wiek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pötenitzer Wiek is an eastern a bay of the lower Trave east of the Priwall Peninsula. The bank also partly forms the border between Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Until the Second World War, the Pötenitzer Wiek was a take-off and landing location for seaplanes and functioned as the airport at that time for the Priwall German Air Force. The name is due to the Mecklenburgian locality of Pötenitz, which belonged to the city Dassow.
