The Baggersee, named after a previous owner Röhmsee , is a nature reserve (NSG number 1.095) designated by ordinance of the Stuttgart Regional Council of November 16, 1981 under the name Am Rank (Röhmsee) in the area of ​​the municipality of Unterensingen in the Esslingen district in Baden-Württemberg .

Together with the Schülesee , the 13 hectare Röhmsee forms a protected area of ​​around 25 hectares. The lakes are a nationally significant ecological compensation area with well-developed silting zones. The Röhmsee is important as a resting place for migrating birds and as a retreat for threatened bird species. As the oldest dredging pond still in existence in the Neckar river system, it has developed into an important body of breeding birds. The bittern, the marsh warbler , the coot and the moorhen breed here, among others . The Unterensing quarry ponds occupy an excellent position as a transit and resting area. In the relatively small area, 223 species have now been identified.
