The Concordia lake is a residual open pit lake north of Erftstadt in the Rhein-Erft district . The lake is located east of the Erftstadt district of Kierdorf , but is separated from it by the A1 .
Lake Concordia is part of the Rhineland Nature Park / Villeseen Nature Reserve . In the east the Köttinger See and the Roddersee adjoin ; in the north is the Zieselsmaar .
The lake itself is under nature protection. Protected spawning areas for amphibians as well as protection and resting areas for other animals are set up here all year round , which cannot be entered. Fishing, swimming, diving and other water sports are not permitted.
Emergence
The lake was created between 1955 and 1973 (approval) from a disused lignite mine in the "North" field of the 1958 disused briquette factory "Concordia" of the entrepreneur Carl Brendgen . Lignite was mined here from 1902.
After the dewatering in the remaining open pit hole was stopped, it was filled with groundwater .
