The Riemeisterfenn is a nature reserve in the Berlin district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf on the edge of the Grunewald. The fen is a swampy, marshy lowland of the Riemeistersee, which has largely silted up since the beginning of the 20th century, and is one of the last Berlin moors with the remnants of the original vegetation. It is part of the Grunewald chain of lakes and connects - today via a canal - the Krumme Lanke to the southwest with the Langes Luch nature reserve to the north.

In the 50 years between 1861 and 1910, the population of Berlin quadrupled from 500,000 to over two million inhabitants; the greater Berlin area had almost four million inhabitants when it was merged in 1920. In order to secure the supply of drinking water, various wells were built to extract groundwater. Although the geologically young Berlin glacial valley, like the glacial channel of the Grunewald lake chain, has a high groundwater level, the level has fallen so much due to the extraction that the Grunewald lakes and moors no longer have a groundwater connection. In 1911, the Riemeistersee dried up, and two years later the Berlin waterworks began the measure, which is still necessary today, of pumping Havel water into the chain of lakes in order to preserve the wetlands and the shore areas of the lakes. On the north side, the Fennkanal leads the water past the site to the Langen Luch and the Grunewaldsee.
