The northeastern shore borders Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (the municipality of Utecht) in the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve. The western shore is home to the municipalities of Groß Sarau, Pogeez, and Buchholz. Together with the Küchensee, it encloses the island town of Ratzeburg. The division of the lake area into the Großer Ratzeburger See, the Domsee, and the Großer and Kleiner Küchensee occurred when dams were built between the lakeshore and the Dominsel.
