The Allersee is a body of water in Wolfsburg ( Lower Saxony ). It lies between the Aller and the Mittelland Canal in the Allerpark .

description

The lake was created in 1969 and 1970. Initially, the Aller was relocated for this purpose, then the lake was dredged. The items to be washed were layered on the surrounding damp landscape so that a park-like landscape could be created. The Allersee was inaugurated on September 3, 1970, followed by the opening ceremony for the citizens on May 20, 1971. As early as 1970 it was planned to expand the lake in an easterly direction until shortly before Vorsfelde ; however, this has not yet been realized.

After deepening in 1987, the Allersee has a length of 1230 m, a width of 270 m and an average depth of 3 m and a water volume of around 1 million m³. The surface of the lake covers 29 hectares.

The Allersee is a recreational area in Wolfsburg and is mainly used as a bathing lake . There are also opportunities for canoeing , rowing and sailing . On the north side there is a wooden floating island used as a bar .

The lake is used by the Sportfischerverein Wolfsburg und Umgebung eV as fishing waters.

prehistory

The Allersee was created as part of the Allerpark, for the planning of which the Wolfsburg City Council approved nine million DM in July 1958. On March 26, 1969, the council gave its final approval to the project. Work on Allerpark started in 1969 with the laying of the Aller and the dredging of wetland landscape to Allersee and its inauguration in 1970. In Allerpark created more leisure facilities, such as 1977, the waterpark and 1983, the Ice Palace as ice rink , today Ice Arena . Numerous clubs have been based on the nearby north bank of the Mittelland Canal and Allersee since the 1950s and 1960s, for example a canoe, a rowing club and a yacht club.
