This pond is one of many ponds in the Upper Harz water reserve. If you walk the Liebesbankweg, you will pass a few ponds. Display boards serve to explain.

On the eastern outskirts of Bockswiese is the upper raft pond. It was created in the second half of the 17th century. Its name still refers to the original purpose of this pond: the water that had accumulated in it from the Grumbach was drained, triggering a small artificial flood. In this way cut wood could be floated downstream.
At a later time, the upper raft pond was included in the water supply system of the Bockswieser ore mines. It thus became part of the six-stage Auerhahn cascade.

One of six ponds in a cascade in the Grumbach valley as well as various moats, which were used to transport the precious water. All of these facilities were built from 1680 to supply the water wheels of the mines around Hahnenklee-Bockswiese. They are part of the cultural monument "Oberharzer Wasserregal" and since 2010 also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
