Remaining stocks of the former large lake are still visible. At the time, the boat was romantic here, perch was fished and there was a beautiful restaurant, the existence of which is documented by the terraced steps below the riding stable.

A small fine nature reserve on the outskirts of Zehlendorf, worth a detour!

The Riemeisterfenn is a nature reserve in the Berlin district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf on the edge of the Grunewald. The Fenn is a swampy, swampy lowland of the Riemeistersee, which has largely silted up since the beginning of the 20th century and, as one of the last Berlin moors, is one of the remains of the original vegetation. It is part of the Grunewaldseenkette and connects - today by canal - the south-west lying Krumme Lanke with the north adjoining nature reserve Langes Luch.

In the 50 years between 1861 and 1910, Berlin's population quadrupled from 500,000 to over two million inhabitants; when it merged in 1920, the greater Berlin area had almost four million inhabitants. In order to secure the supply of drinking water, various wells were built to extract groundwater. Although the geologically young Berlin glacial valley, like the glacial channel of the Grunewaldseenkette, has a high groundwater level, the level sank so far as a result of the extraction that the Grunewaldseen and bogs no longer have a groundwater connection. In 1911 the Riemeistersee fell dry, two years later the Berlin waterworks began the measure, which is still necessary today, of pumping water into the Havel chain of lakes in order to preserve the wetlands and the banks of the lakes. On the north side, the Fenn Canal leads the water past the site to the Langen Luch and the Grunewaldsee.
