The lake was created as a reservoir in 1908 during the construction of the Schwentine hydroelectric power plants by shipyard founder Bernhard Howaldt and is now a fundamental part of the Schwentine Landscape Park. To create the reservoir, Bernhard Howaldt had to purchase land along the Schwentine River as far as the lands of Count Christian zu Rantzau (Rastorf Estate) and Preetz Monastery. The price per hectare at the time was approximately 2,000 marks. Raisdorf was first supplied with electricity in 1904 by the Raisdorf 1 hydroelectric power plant at the Rastorfer Mill. The Raisdorf 2 hydroelectric power plant followed in 1909. The power plants are now listed as historical monuments and are operated and maintained by Kiel's municipal utilities.
