Lankower fishing friends start at the new location - move with melancholy

Lübecker Straße, 19061 Schwerin, Deutschland - The fishing friends at Lankower See are facing a fresh start. After long, loyal years at their location behind the old lung clinic in Lübecker Strasse, the anglers have now leased a new place with direct access to the lake. Klaus-Dieter Blacha, the chairman of the association, reports with a touch of melancholy on the loss of the old site, which has been home to numerous fishing enthusiasts since 1961. But the move also opens up the chance of new activities and experiences.

The circumstances behind the move are clear: An investor plans to build residential buildings on the area of ​​the former clinic. After the breakdown of the old hospital has already been completed, the B-Plan is decided after the summer break. The changes have forced fishing friends to reorient themselves and take care of their future. In addition to the pumping station in Lübecker Strasse, they now found a property that is ideally suited for their angelical activities.

New location and support

HTG Hoch- und Tiefbau Gadebusch GmbH generously supported the club in the move and made several used containers available. The club members have already converted these containers for their equipment and even integrated a toilet room and a roof structure. A communal space is also planned to promote social exchange among the members, whereby the roof, which was completed on May 3, 2025, has already been completed.

Working on the new location began at the beginning of the year. From the preparation of the site, including the delivery of gravel and the creation of a Benjeshecke, to the first video updates through the progress of the construction site, the fishing friends have documented everything. It is important to make the new point of the meeting attractive and functional for all club members.

city and challenges

But there are also challenges. The fishing friends are concerned about the additional costs for the power connection on the new site, which are placed on the lease of the association. One feels a little disadvantaged, especially since the head of building Bernd Nottebaum from the CDU rejects the criticism of the anglers and emphasizes that the city has accommodated in the structural measures.

Another stumbling block was the building permit for a more than 40 meter long bridge, which is of central importance for around 130 club members. In this case, the city received right, but this gives the fishing friends a relieving feeling because the old surface of the bridge is reused. Some benches from the previous system were also sensibly integrated into the new area.

The role of fishing in society

The fishing friends on Lake Lankow are part of a larger trend. The importance of fishing fishing goes beyond the pure catch of fish. According to the German Angelfischerverband e.V. Scientific studies, such as those of Prof. Dr. Robert Arlinghaus, show that the acceptance of fishing fishing varies depending on the region. While fishing in the new federal states is often perceived more positively, there are concerns from animal and nature conservation perspective in the old federal states.

Nevertheless, fishing remains a popular leisure activity that causes a feeling of relaxation in many people and makes an important contribution to water protection. The fishing fans in Lankow are now ready to concentrate more on fishing and maintaining the waters. After all, nature is what it has brought together, and it seems as if they are on the right track in the new environment.
