Today's lake fills a deeply incised glacial tongue basin from the Weichselian glaciation. This basin was formed by the advance of various glaciers, which carved out large basins in the soft soil and deposited the material laterally. This formation resulted in the lake's shores being relatively steep, and the reed beds along the shores are relatively narrow. The lake contains three islands (Großrethberg, Kleine Insel, and Lange Insel) and a peninsula, which, like the shoreline, are predominantly covered in alder swamp forests. In higher elevations, these wetland forests transition into extensively managed beech forests.

Cows and calves grazing on pasture is an image often associated with species-appropriate animal husbandry and a high quality of life for the animals. Spending time together on pasture promotes the animals' natural behavior, enables social interaction, and contributes to their health.

Advantages of grazing cows and calves:
Natural husbandry:
Cows and calves can pursue their natural needs, such as eating, exercising, resting, and interacting with other animals.

Social learning:
Calves learn how to interact in the herd from older animals and imitate their eating behavior.

On October 1, 1937, the municipality of Stocksee was merged with the neighboring village of Damsdorf under the name Stocksee. In 1948, the municipal council decided to separate the municipalities again, and this decision was implemented on March 31, 1951.[8][9]

In the 1980s, divers found a roughly 700-year-old dugout canoe in the lake, indicating a longer settlement history in the village.
