The Steinbachsee is one of the so-called park lakes around the state capital. Surrounded by the Spitalwald forest, it was dug out in 1812 to supply the mills in the surrounding area. Later it served as a drinking water reservoir, similar to the Bärensee.

In 1812, under King Friedrich, the Steinbachsee was laid out about three kilometers west of Büsnau. Its water was also initially fed to the Pfaffensee through open canals adapted to the terrain.
