The Achterdieksee is a quarry pond in the Oberneuland district of Bremen , which is used as a bathing lake . It is also used by sport fishermen . The lake, which is directly adjacent to the A 27 , was excavated in 1969 during the construction of the motorway and then converted into a swimming lake as one of four sand extraction points for the construction of the motorway.

The lake is fed by groundwater that is slightly salty due to the influence of the Lilienthal salt dome. It has a drain in the form of a canal to the edge of the motorway ditch . The water quality is eutrophic .

There is a beach with coarse sand on the west bank of the lake. The bathing area is monitored by a DLRG station that was built in 1974. A wooden bridge runs across the lake, separating the non-swimmer area from the swimmer area. Outside the bathing area, the bank is close to nature and is lined with trees and partly a reed belt.
