Lake Wiesbütt (formerly Lake Hanauer See) is a forest lake in the Main-Kinzig district of Hesse, in the Spessart region. Lake Wiesbütt is located in the municipality of Flörsbach in the municipality of Flörsbachtal, directly on the state border with Bavaria. The Bavarian/Hessian border runs along the western shore, at the foot of the dam. To the west lies the unincorporated area of Wiesener Forst in the Bavarian district of Aschaffenburg. To the north lies the Spessart High Road (L 2905) and the two old trade routes: Birkenhainer Straße and Eselsweg. To the southwest lies the village of Wiesen in Lower Franconia, to the southeast Mosborn, a district of the municipality of Flörsbachtal, and to the north Bieber, a district of the municipality of Biebergemünd. The artificial lake, created for energy generation and ventilation of the Bieber mines, is now located on the edge of the Wiesbüttmoor nature reserve.

The lake has no surface inlet; it is fed underground from the Wiesbüttmoor. A natural overflow drains the water into the Aubachtal valley via the Wiesbüttgraben.

The Wiesbüttsee, with its diverse flora, some of which is already threatened with extinction, is part of one of the last raised bogs in Germany. It was created in 1765 by Bieber miners according to plans by mining master Johann Philipp Cancrinus to ventilate and drain the Lochborntalgrund silver, copper, and lead mine tunnels in the summer. It was also intended to provide sufficient water for the Bieber ironworks and the hammer mill.

Due to the exceptional ore deposits in the area around Bieber, extensive mining was carried out during this period. The Wiesbüttsee served as a water source for the hydropowered mining machines used to drain and ventilate the tunnels. The water power powered the conveyor system of the ironworks in the Lochhütte until 1925.

The former customs house (later a restaurant) commemorates the Bavarian border that was once controlled here.

I'm curious to see when the economy will open again.

A very beautiful lake. The turtle was sitting on its log in the lake again.
