The name Dutzendteich does not come from formerly existing there twelve ponds (there were only eight). Some sources say that the term Dutzendteich derives from the Old German name Doutze for reed. Other sources, such as the "Pfinzing Atlas" of 1594, call the term Tutschetey, which means muddy terrain. Today, next to the large dozen pond (previously often also "Dutzenteich" written) the small Dutzendteich, the Flachweiher and other, smaller ponds, which are referred to as "number pond". Of the original four number piers, only two have survived. (Wikipedia)
