    The Neuhäuser See (also Neuhauser See) is an approximately 155-hectare open-cast mining residual lake, which was formed by flooding the former Holzweißig-West open-cast mine. The lake is located in the Central German Lake District, south of the Goitzsche nature reserve and north of the town of Delitzsch.

    The Neuhäuser See is located on the northwestern border of the Free State of Saxony with Saxony-Anhalt, at an altitude of about 78 m above sea level. South of the lake is Benndorf, a district of the North Saxon district town of Delitzsch, and to the north is the unified municipality of Bitterfeld-Wolfen in Saxony-Anhalt. It is located in the Central German Lake District, south of the Großer Goitzschesee and the Ludwigsee and Paupitzscher See bodies of water.

    In the mid-19th century, the first mining activities began in the southwest of the Goitzsche, near the villages of Petersroda and Holzweißig.[3] Following the lignite seam, mining moved from west to east. Favored by the opening of the current railway lines Magdeburg–Leipzig and Trebnitz–Leipzig, the sales market for lignite expanded to include Halle and Leipzig, among other places. The increased demand for electrical energy and fossil fuels in the 19th and 20th centuries led in 1908 to the opening of the Leopold open-cast mine (from 1945 to 1962 Holzweißig–Ost) and in 1958 to the creation of the Holzweißig-West open-cast mine.[3]
