Among the lakes of East Holstein, the Great Segeberg Lake is distinguished by its unique origins.

After a salt dome containing gypsum and anhydrite rock rose to near the surface due to salt tectonics, groundwater released after the thawing of the glacial permafrost gradually dissolved rock salt and gypsum in the subsurface and leached cavities (subrosion). The overlying rock and sedimentary layers subsided, leaving behind depressions that filled with water. This resulted in the formation of several lake basins, initially covered by a continuous body of water. After a natural lowering of the lake level, possibly caused by a sinkhole at a later date, the original body of water divided into the Great Segeberg Lake and the much smaller Klüthsee to the northeast.

The Great Segeberg Lake is part of the gypsum karst landscape of Bad Segeberg and is thus related to the Kalkberg and its cave.
