The lake's origins can be traced back to the cessation of lignite mining by the Bavarian lignite industry in the 1980s. Flooding of the pit began in 1981, creating the lake with an area of 55 hectares and an average depth of 5 meters (deepest point: 6.5 meters). It is approximately 1 kilometer long and 460 meters wide.
The lake's name likely derives from the miners' association or the miners of the open-cast mine, whose work led to its creation after mining operations ceased.
