history

The Wöhrseebecken is part of the former riverbed of the Salzach. When it dug its present bed, only a small stream remained, the St. Johannser Mühlbach. This was probably dammed in the Middle Ages, for better protection against enemies. He served not only for defense purposes, but was also used as fish water.

In 1332, a body of water called "wur" - documented by a weir dammed (fish) water - documented, later also called "Wühr" or "Wöhr". From about 1800, the term "Wöhrsee" becomes common, although the term is actually misleading, since Wöhr already means "lake".

In order to be able to recognize and defend against possible attackers, the castle slopes were kept free of trees. The city-side slopes were used as "herb and root gardens", the Wöhrsee side slopes for sheep and goat. On the southern slopes, during the "medieval warm period", when the climate was sometimes warmer by up to 2 ° C than today, wine was grown.

Only in the last century, when the slopes no longer had any form of defense and no more agricultural use took place, could forest again slowly settle on the Wöhrsee slopes.

From the 19th century, the Wöhrsee the Burghauser garrison served as a military swimming school, which was later also used by Burghausen citizens.

When the garrison left Burghausen in 1891, the lake was privately owned until the city acquired it in 1901 for 34,000 gold marks.

First there were separate bathing establishments for women and men as well as for nuns and monks. In 1934/35 the still existing Wöhrsee family bath was opened.
