The lake was created in the years 1969 and 1970. At first the Aller was relocated, afterwards the lake was dredged. The dishes were layered on the surrounding wetland landscape, so that a park-like landscape could be designed. On 3 September 1970, the Allersee was inaugurated, on May 20, 1971, followed by the opening ceremony for the citizens. As early as 1970 it was planned to extend the lake in an easterly direction to shortly before Vorsfelde; However, this has not been realized until today.
After a deepening in 1987, the Allersee has a length of 1230 m, a width of 270 m and a mean depth of 3 m, a water volume of about 1 million m³. The surface of the lake covers 29 hectares.
The Allersee is a recreational area of Wolfsburg and is mainly used as a bathing lake. There are also opportunities for canoeing, rowing and sailing. On the north side is a wooden floating island used as a bar.
The lake is used by the sports fishing association Wolfsburg and surroundings e.V. as angling waters.
