The two lakes are former gravel pits. The gravel extraction began with the construction of the Buna works in Schkopau in the mid-30s of the 19th century. The southern part of the Rattmannsdorfer gravel pits dates from this time. After 1945 gravel extraction was resumed and the northern part was exploited. Later, the Hohenweiden gravel pit was opened up and operated until the 1990s.
