The fertilizer Lake is a quarry pond in the Bremen district Burglesum belonging Werder country . It was created between 1977 and 1979 by extracting sand for the construction of the planned "cemetery on the Lesum", which was never completed (today there is a golf course on the site). The quarry pond and the adjacent area are under nature protection.
