The Herrenwieser Weiher is a lake in Kempten (Allgäu) and the largest still water in the city in terms of area. It forms the western boundary of the Mariaberg ridge . Centuries ago, the pond was artificially dammed as part of the Kempten water supply and as a fishing water. Today it is a popular swimming lake.

The Herrenwieser Weiher was first mentioned in 1769 and was part of the early long-distance water supply in Kempten . From the Herrenwieser Weiher the water flows over partly artificial canals to the Kemptener Stadtweiher , another dammed lake of the so-called Schlangenbach system.
The Herrenwieser Weiher used to belong to the municipality of Sankt Lorenz , which was incorporated into Kempten in 1972. However, the area around the lake was separated from Sankt Lorenz and incorporated into Kempten on April 1, 1935.
Until 2003 the landowner of the Herrenwieser Weiher was the city of Kempten (Allgäu). This year the body of water was taken over by the association for recreation areas in Kempten and Oberallgäu .
