Chiemsee ({{IPA-de|ˈkiːmzeː}}) is a freshwater lake in Bavaria,[2] Germany, near Rosenheim. It is often called "the Bavarian Sea". The rivers Großache and Prien flow into the lake from the south, and the river Alz flows out towards the north. The Alz flows into the Inn which then merges with the Danube. The Chiemsee is divided into the bigger, north section, in the northeast, called Weitsee, and the Inselsee, in the southwest.

The Chiemgau, the region surrounding the Chiemsee, is a famous recreation area.

Origin

The Chiemsee was formed, like many other pre-alpine lakes, at the end of the last ice age about 10,000 years ago from a hollow carved out by a glacier (a Zungenbecken). Originally the lake covered an area of almost {{convert|240|sqkm|abbr=on}}, which is about three times its present area. Within 10,000 years its area had shrunk to around {{convert|80|sqkm|abbr=on}}. Before 1904 the water level was lowered by about a metre. As a result, large areas of dry land were reclaimed.

Islands

There are three main islands on the lake: Herreninsel, the largest, with an area of {{convert|238|ha}}; Frauenchiemsee, {{convert|15.5|ha|abbr=on}}, also called Herreninsel ("gentlemen's island") and Fraueninsel ("ladies' island"); and uninhabited Krautinsel,[2] {{convert|3.5|ha|abbr=on}}. It is known as "Cabbage Island" because in the Middle Ages it was cultivated with cabbages and other vegetables.[3]

  • Herreninsel has a palace built by King Ludwig II in 1878 called Herrenchiemsee, which was never completed but was meant to be a replica of the Palace of Versailles. Many of its rooms are open to tourists; tours of the palace and its extensive grounds are conducted throughout the summer.
  • Frauenchiemsee, the smaller of the two main islands, houses a Benedictine nunnery, built in 782, as well as a small village. The nuns make a liquor called Klosterlikör ("cloister liquor") and marzipan (almond paste).

The smallest island in the lake is the Schalch {{convert|66|m|abbr=on}} west of Frauenchiemsee, which is of square outline, with a side length of only {{convert|4.7|m|abbr=on}} or an area of {{convert|22|m²|abbr=on}}. This tiny island had probably been created artificially to mark a shallow spot for sailboats. There is a willow on the island, originally planted in 1935, and replace by a young tree in the 2000s.{{cn|date=January 2018}}
