The middle Pfauenteich pond, like the other two Pfauenteich ponds, is one of the oldest structures in the Upper Harz. Having been raised at least twice, it now holds 0.39 million cubic meters of water with a length of 200 meters and a dam height of 9.50 meters.

The Mittlere Pfauenteich (also Great Peacock Pond) on Zellbach near Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Upper Harz (Lower Saxony) is a small dam in the Upper Harz water shelf and is one of the Upper Harz ponds. Like many systems in the Oberharzer Wasserregal, it is part of a cascade in the upper Zellbachtal. The lower peacock pond is at the lowest position, followed by the middle and upper peacock pond. Above that is the much larger Hirschler pond.
