The Kleinhesseloher See is an artificial lake and part of the central English Garden in Munich (600 m east of Münchner Freiheit ). It is located immediately south of the Isarring , which separates the Hirschau from the southern part of the English Garden, and is a popular destination.
history
The Kleinhesseloher See was created in 1803 by Reinhard von Werneck . The lake originally had a size of around 35,000 m². It was located between Schwabing , at that time a village in the north of Munich, and Kleinhesselohe, at that time a post on the northern edge of the English Garden and the entrance to Hirschau to the north. The park attendant set up a makeshift beer tap for the workers in the park. The offer was soon expanded to include milk and cold dishes, and the Kleinhesseloher See became a popular meeting place for walkers in the park. A wooden dance hall attracted more visitors.

From 1807 to 1812, Werneck's successor Friedrich Ludwig Sckell expanded the lake to its present-day size, which is more than double. As a result of the expansion, the lake shore moved into the immediate vicinity of Kleinhesselohe; the small beer garden there was the predecessor of today's lake house . From 1882 to 1883 Gabriel von Seidl built a boathouse with a restaurant. This was replaced in 1935 by Rudolf Esterer with a new building with a terrace on the lake, which was very popular until it was demolished in 1970. Alexander von Branca emerged as the winner from the invitation to tender for a new design . His design was based on a Japanese village. However, this design was never implemented for reasons of cost. Temporary buildings stood on the site for fifteen years until the current lake house was built in 1985 based on a design by Ernst Hürlimann and Ludwig Wiedemann .
The Kleinhesseloher See is a nationally important moulting area for some geese species. Beavers now live by the lake, which leads to conflicts with the Bavarian administration of state castles, gardens and lakes due to gnawed trees .
geography
The lake is fed by the Oberstjägermeisterbach , a branch of the Eisbach . The Kleinhesseloher See is very flat everywhere. There are three islands in the 8.64 hectare body of water:
| island | Area m² | location |
|---|---|---|
| King's Island | 2,720 | in the middle of the lake |
| Elector Island | 1,260 | in the northwest, 30 m from the shore |
| Regent Island | 640 | in the south, at the mouth of the Oberstjägermeisterbach, just a few meters from the west bank |
| Islands sum | 4,620 |
In the southwest the lake is bordered by the Werneckwiese .
It is a very nutrient-rich lake where grass carp , tench and pike can be found. Once a year in autumn the lake is fished by the Isarfischern eV.
Lake house
The lake house on the eastern bank has 2,500 seats. The lake and the lake house are popular leisure destinations today, and rowing and pedal boating are offered . In cold winters, the lake is mostly frozen over and is used by walkers, ice skaters and ice hockey players, although an area on the southeast side through which the Oberstjägermeisterbach flows almost always remains free of ice.
The monuments of Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell and Reinhard von Werneck are also on the eastern shore of the lake. The Sckell column was erected in 1824, one year after Sckell's death, by Ernst von Bandel based on a design by Leo von Klenze . In 1838 the Werneck monument was erected on a survey at the suggestion of Ludwig I , also based on a design by Klenze.
