The Gröberner See is one of the northernmost lakes in the Central German Lakeland . It emerged from the former Gröbern opencast mine . The name is derived from the nearby town of Gröbern . In addition to the Gröberner See in the south, the Gremminer See borders the town of Graefenhainichen in the north, which is located in the terminal moraine area of the plateau of Graefenhainichen-Schmiedeberg ( Dübener Heide ) in Saxony-Anhalt .
The Berlin – Halle railway line and the B 100 run along the west bank of the lake.
On June 8, 1987, excavator drivers in the Gröbern opencast mine came across the bones of a 100,000-year-old forest elephant , which is on display in the State Museum of Prehistory in Halle .
