The Herrenteich Pond is located in the heart of the carp town of Reinfeld. It was artificially created in the 12th century by Cistercian monks as a reservoir for the Heilsau River for fish farming. Carp are still bred here today. A four-kilometer circular trail around the Lower Herrenteich invites you to discover this special ecosystem. 16 stations along the adventure trail offer fun and a nature experience in one, sharpening your awareness of the special features of this natural area. In summer, you can enjoy the cool water at the lido. See: https://tourismus-stormarn.de/de/naturerlebnis/herrenteich-reinfeld-5

The Herrenteich in Reinfeld is a popular tourist destination. The approximately 55-hectare body of water is divided into the upper and lower Herrenteich. The upper Herrenteich remains a recognized nature reserve. The lower Herrenteich is home to, among other things, a hiking trail and an outdoor pool in the summer. Due to melting snow, the Herrenteich flooded in early March 2010. A temporary dam erected at the time due to construction work threatened to no longer hold the water masses. A breach of the dam would have flooded the entire hinterland. The Hamburg/Lübeck railway embankment would also have been affected.

The 3.7 km long trail leads along the partially wooded shore of the Herrenteich lake. The east and west banks are connected by a bridge at the "Fischhuser Damm"—north of this bridge begins the "Oberer Herrenteich" nature reserve. See: https://reinfeld-aktiv.de/tag/reinfeld/page/6/

The Herrenteich in Reinfeld owes its existence to Cistercian monks who founded the Reynevelde monastery in the 12th century. They cleared the forest, created fish ponds and dammed the Heilsau to form the Herrenteich.

The Heilsau rises near today's Stockelsdorf (Ostholstein district) and flows into the Trave below Reinfeld. Count Adolf commissioned this Cistercian order in 1186 to reclaim this "place of loneliness and terror", according to contemporary witness Provost Sido from Neumünster. They cleared the forest, created small fish ponds and used the excavated material to build the dam for the Heilsau to form the Herrenteich. The monks lived in the monastery until the 16th century

With 37 hectares, the Herrenteich is the largest of a total of five freshwater ponds in Reinfeld; with its diverse bank vegetation, it offers a home to many animal species.

Nice walk around the pond! With lots of cozy spots.

The large stone graves near Reinfeld were originally two megalithic grave complexes from the Neolithic Funnel Beaker culture near Reinfeld. The preserved grave bears the Sprockhoff number 286 and the site number Reinfeld LA 3. It was archaeologically examined by Friedrich Knorr in 1919 and again in 1936 by Fritz Tischler. A restoration then took place. The destroyed grave has the site number Reinfeld LA 14. The grave is located north of Reinfeld on the edge of a forest. It stands on a hilltop and can be reached via a path. The complex has an east-west oriented burial chamber. The length is 5.5 m outside and 3.8 m inside, the width is 2.5 m outside and 1.2 m inside. During the excavations, four wall stones were found on the northern long side and two on the southern long side, as well as one end stone on each of the narrow sides. Three capstones had fallen inside the chamber. They were placed back on the wall stones during the restoration. To the east of the chamber there were two stones that could not be assigned with certainty. The spaces between the wall stones were originally filled with dry masonry made of split stones. Tischler was still able to find remnants of this between the two easternmost stones on the north side. The chamber plaster consisted of two layers. There was initially a layer of stone slabs on the natural ground. A few pieces of burned flint were found between the floor and the stone slabs. Above this was a layer of loamy sand about 30 cm thick, some of which was interspersed with split stones. This was followed by a 40 cm thick backfill of humus soil. It is unclear where the original entrance to the chamber was. Therefore, the exact type of grave cannot be determined with certainty. Due to the size of the chamber and the number of wall stones, it must have been either a large dolmen or a passage grave. No burial remains or grave goods were found during the excavations. Apparently two ceramic vessels were recovered sometime before 1921 and taken to the Museum of Patriotic Antiquities in Kiel. However, corresponding file notes are missing. According to a legend, grave LA 3 was the dwelling of a giant. One day he went to Nütschau and was killed by another giant. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fsteingr%C3%A4ber_bei_Reinfeld

The megalithic tomb, or more precisely, the megalithic burial site, originated in the Neolithic period and is attributed to the Funnelbeaker culture, named for its characteristic clay vessels. This cultural monument was therefore created approximately 4800 to 5500 years ago. Unfortunately, it is no longer in its original condition and has recently suffered vandalism.
