The '''Sacrower See''' ({{IPA|de|ˈzakʁoːɐ zeː|-|De-Sacrower See.ogg}}) is a German [lake](/source/lake) in the northern part of [Potsdam](/source/Potsdam) in the State of [Brandenburg](/source/Brandenburg).

==Overview==
The Sacrower See, with the [Groß Glienicker See](/source/Gro%C3%9F_Glienicker_See) 0.7 km to the north and the [Heiliger See](/source/Heiliger_See) 1.6 km from Potsdam, forms a chain of lakes which flow into the extensive network of [Havel](/source/Havel) River waterways.

The lake extends in a north-south direction for over 2.8 km.  Its widest point is 406 m and its narrowest 190 m. Sacrow, a district of Potsdam, is located on the southeastern shore.  The remaining shore is forested and part of the Königswald Nature Preserve.

During the [Cold War](/source/Cold_War), the lake was part of the border isolating [West Berlin](/source/West_Berlin) and kept under close East German surveillance. In 1986 Rainer Liebeke of [Gotha](/source/Gotha) drowned in Sacrower See when attempting to escape to West Berlin.
