The Dienhauser Weiher is an artificially created still water near Dienhausen in the Upper Bavarian district of Landsberg am Lech .
location
The 4.4 hectares large pond is located on the Romantic Road , halfway between the name-giving Dien Hausen and three kilometers south Schwabsoien at an altitude of 750 m above sea level. NN .
history
The area was already heavily settled in the Bronze Age and the Via Claudia , an important trade route, passed by in Roman times . If the Lechau meadows were too marshy due to the season, the post-Ice Age dry valleys were preferred as paths. The fertile valleys continued to be used for agriculture during the time of the Great Migration and Carolingian times, as a large number of finds show.
The nameless forest stream that feeds the Dienhauser Weiher was dammed at a time that has not been passed down precisely. The complete lack of a pond house suggests that this was not primarily for reasons of fishing, but rather for reasons of water management. With an immense effort for the time, a 150 m long and at the bottom more than ten meters wide dam was heaped up to a storage height of over two meters. This protected the lower settlements from flooding during the heavy rain events that were frequent in the area and also ensured agricultural yields during dry seasons.
In the Bavarian original cadastre from 1808 the pond is recorded with an area of almost five hectares and the dam is clearly visible.
In August 2013 there was a death in the water. The bather did not drown, but died a natural death in the water in the summer heat.
Also in 2013, a tensioner and lingerie fetishist appeared there several times who attacked the female bathers as a laundry thief.
today
The stream flowing out of the pond to the north is called Schönach , but has no hydrological connection with the river of the same name, but seeps away about 1.3 km below the pond at an altitude of 734 m above sea level. NN again.
The southern part of the pond, the storage root is teilverlandet, thus increasing its surface has slightly reduced. In 2011 the top of the dam was renovated and the pond was upgraded in terms of water management.
The densely overgrown west bank serves both nudists and textile recreation-seeking bathers, anglers and hiking groups as a resting and resting place, protected from view.
There are no sanitary facilities or a kiosk; the parking facilities are very limited and unpaved. It is maintained and managed by a local fishing club.
fauna and Flora
The southern part of the pond is covered with large carpets of water lilies . In addition to the fish stock with carp, pike, tench, trout, perch, catfish and eels, it also offers breeding and spawning opportunities for a variety of bird and amphibian species. Rare species of bats find shelter in the surrounding woods, for which the insects in the water are an important source of food.
