The Ebenweiler See was created as a meltwater lake 15,000 years ago. After it silted up, it was dammed in 1485, hence the name Ebenweiler Weiher . In a certificate from that year it is said that Marquardt von Königsegg “had started doing something like that in Ebenweiler”. The dam suggests how the Teutonic Order was built . Today, due to siltation, the lake only has a water surface of 7 hectares, but the 115 hectare nature reserve also includes the much larger surrounding reed area, litter meadows, swamp forests and the Ebenweiler Ried - a low silted bog with a layer of peat up to 12.5 meters thick.
The extensive reed area around the Ebenweiler See is of supraregional importance in terms of natural history as a breeding ground for the great bittern and the marsh harrier and as the home of extremely rare plant species such as the mean sundew , round-leaved sundew , comb fern , Prussian laser herb , fever clover , swamp lice weed , swamp heart leaf , Common butterwort , Mehlprimel , Zungenhahnfuß , rust red and black schoenus , kümmelblättriger Silge well as some orchids, including the flesh-colored orchid , the marsh helleborine , the mosquito Händelwurz and Twayblade .
