There are two parking spaces on the side facing the main street - Trais Horloff / Bellersheim.

With the development of the opencast mine between Wohnbach and Bellersheim, large bucket-wheel and bucket-chain excavators found their way into the northern Wetterau. From 1961 to 1975, 10.5 million tons of lignite were mined between the A45 motorway and the Hungen district of Bellersheim. What was left of this was the Barbarasee in the east of the Hungen district of Bellersheim, which is officially known as "Sachsensee". The name "Barbarasee" comes from the patron saint of miners - the "Saint Barbara" - and has become naturalized in the population.
