Historically, Krupunder See was known as Schwarzer See (Black Lake) or Rellinger See. In the early 18th century, it served as a crucial watering hole and resting place for Holstein farmers driving cattle to Hamburg. Later, in the 1920s, it transformed into a popular lido, attracting thousands of bathers. After its closure as a lido and subsequent over-fertilization, local citizens successfully advocated for its preservation, leading to its acquisition by the municipality of Halstenbek as a protected landscape.
