    Tips

    July 20, 2022

    The Eichbaumsee is located in the southeast of Hamburg in the marshlands in the district of Allermöhe.
    The lake is about one kilometer long, 280 meters wide and has an area of 0.24 km².
    Its greatest depth is 16 meters.
    It was created in 1972 after the sand quarrying needed for the A25 motorway and is only fed by groundwater.
    Until the expansion of the regatta course (1977) in the Dove Elbe, it was still in direct connection with it; today there is probably only a small exchange of water with the Dove Elbe through permeable layers of sediment.
    The lake was a bathing lake popular with the people of Hamburg, but it is often heavily infested with algae in hot summers.
    Despite remedial measures through deep water aeration with a system known as "Polyp I" in March 2005 and in March 2007 with "Polyp II", bathing had to be prohibited because of the blue-green algae.
    Since the end of August 2007 there has been a general bathing ban.
    The Eichbaumsee is stocked with carp, pike, zander and tench by the Hamburg Anglers' Association and was known for catching large carp before the fish died out in 2009.
    The Wutzrock Festival takes place every summer on the meadow east of the lake.
