Little info from the internet:

Mill pond and mill dam
The Syker Mühlenteich stretched up to the Mühlendamm in the middle of the 20th century. The dam and the backwater were built around 1387 on behalf of Count Otto III. by Hoya. The water from the Hache dammed here powered a grain mill that the sovereign had built opposite Syker Castle, today's district court.

The water mill, which was almost completely demolished in 1969, was in operation until 1951. After turbines replaced water wheels in 1903 and 1910, large amounts of backwater were no longer necessary. The miller therefore stopped the pond cleaning that was previously usual. The body of water, which was artificially created in the late Middle Ages, became increasingly silted up and silted up, which caused some resentment among the population. Finally, the city of Syke bought the historic mill pond site and had it converted into a park in 1956. The horseshoe-shaped reservoir disappeared. Where the dam island used to be, a kidney-shaped pond was created, in keeping with contemporary taste. Sykes “Mill” Pond acquired its current shape when the park was redesigned in the 1970s.
