After the completion of the flooding of the lake in 2023, the water surface should be 133 hectares. The volume is 3 million m³. A special feature of the Bergener See is that it consists of two parts, which are connected by a 360 meter long canal, the bridge 4 . The lake is closed to motorized pleasure craft. The Überleiter 2 , a 240 m long canal, connects the Bergener See with the Sabrodter See and the Überleiter 5 , a 260 m long canal, connects with the Neuwieser See . The lake is part of the Lusatian Lakeland nature conservation project and, with its expansive wetlands and the adjacent open land, serves as a retreat for rare birds, animals and plants.

history
The Bergener See is linked to the development of lignite mining in the Spreetal / Bluno area. The Spreetal opencast mine includes the Spreetal, Bluno and Spreetal-Nordost opencast mines; coal production ran from 1955 to 1983. In the period from 1991 to 1994, overburden was transported from the Scheibe opencast mine to the Spreetal opencast mine in order to replenish it. Later, the area would be used as a garbage dump for a short time, the name of the remaining open pit hole was Südostschlauch. Since there was not enough material to fill up, the Bergener See as well as the Sabrodter and Neuwieser See emerged as a post-mining landscape .
On October 13, 2010 , a slide of 1.8 kilometers in length and 600 meters in width occurred in the Spreetal fields , which also includes the Bergener See. Five trucks were hit by the landslide, people were not harmed. Four truck drivers were able to save themselves and one had to be rescued from the roof of his truck by the ADAC rescue helicopter . The resulting tidal wave killed 84 sheep on the other bank of the lake.
