A nice spot of "industrial nature"! It is a sedimentation basin created by the nearby Rhein-Kalk limestone works. Before it was used for sedimentation, some courtyards are said to have been here, including the source of the Anger. The area is no longer used as a sedimentation basin - in the course of the renaturation, a beautiful circular path for hikers and cyclists, a fishing water, wet biotopes and a pasture area where Heck cattle can be seen have been created here.

You can find more information about the historical sources of the Anger, which were displaced by the mud pond, here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anger_(Rhein)#Quellfl%C3%BCsse_und_Namens%C3%BCbertragungen
