Der Puhl (The Puhl)

A “Puhl,” also “Pfuhl,” refers in the Fläming dialect to a pond or marsh. The region’s former vernacular, which shows a kinship with the dialects of Flanders, is today spoken by only a few inhabitants and has survived particularly in place names — for example in Kranepuhl, eight kilometres away, meaning “crane pond.” The Puhl is fed by perched groundwater that runs through the sand along a clay layer to the lowest point. Our Puhl is an important biotope in one of the driest areas of Germany, serves as a firefighting pond, and has become legendary thanks to the winter ice-bathing challenges.
