    The ice ponds are a group of 3 ponds lying next to each other. They are considered popular fishing waters.

    In 1875 Rudolf Zersch leased the brewery from Prince Reuß-Köstritz. In order to keep the beer cool in the summer months, Rudolf Zersch also created the “Small Ice Pond”. There was no longer enough ice to cool beer above the “Weiße Elster” weir.

    There is now a vegetated island in the middle of the pond. There was originally a monument on the island around 1806 made of stacked rock with a sarcophagus designed by the Berlin architect Friedrich. It was called “Amalienstein”. The “Amalienstein” was destroyed after 1945. Some of its stones lie invisibly at the foot of the island in the pond water.

      Nice place for a break on the Elster cycle path between Bad Köstritz and Gera-Untermhaus.
