The Hüttenteich is an artificially created lake in Osterode am Harz in the district of Lerbach in the district of Göttingen in Lower Saxony , Germany .
history
The name goes back to the ironworks located in Lerbach , for which the pond was created as an energy source by damming the Lerbach up until 1788 . The water was fed to the ironworks by a harrow system via the Hüttengraben. Here, the water power was conducted via a large water wheel that drove the blast furnace fan. Just a few years after the construction of the dam, it had to be repaired several times due to construction defects on the pond dam, the outflow , the harrow system and the hut ditch . In the 1990s , the pond was reduced in size by about half by backfilling. A children's playground was created on the meadow that was created.

Today's owner is the city of Osterode am Harz, which leases the pond. The tenant is also responsible for maintaining the area around the pond.
