Lignite was mined in the region from the end of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century. From 1925 measures began to recultivate the areas. The existing open-cast mining holes were filled with groundwater and were largely left to their further development. In this way, the Untersee was created in 1965 in the southern district.

Discovered by accident. Depending on the perspective, the Untersee looks huge.
