The Lambsheimer pond in the Rhine valley in the eponymous Palatine local church Lambsheim ( Rheinland-Pfalz ) is one of the groundwater -fed quarry pond , the right next to the Fuchsbach in a former sand - and gravel pit has been created and the lake serves.

Geographical location

The water extends to 93  m above sea level. NHN in the Lambsheimer district Auf dem Hirschen in the Vorderpfalz northeast of Lambsheim, southwest of the core city of Frankenthal and west of its district Flomersheim . In the south, the site borders on Kreisstraße  4 and 6, which connects Lambsheim with Frankenthal. The Autobahn 61 ( Koblenz - Speyer ) runs past directly to the east, and its resting place Auf dem Hirschen is at the height of the northeastern tip of the water.

The Fuchsbach, which is largely directed to the northeast, passes the pond on its northwest side over a distance of about 400 m at a short distance; this is about 10 m at the narrowest point. Along the entire east side of the pond, the Brandgraben runs alongside the motorway in a northerly direction , which flows into the Fuchsbach from the right between the northeast tip of the pond and the rest area.

investment

The pond is about 20 hectares, up to 9 m deep and has three sandbanks. It is closed, there is no above-ground inflow or outflow. The water filling results from the groundwater, the level of which is very high due to the nearby Fuchsbach and whose flow to the east is delayed by the compacted substructure of the motorway route.

The pond shows no flow movement.

The banks are made of clay and sand, some of which are paved with stones or logs. The flat shore zone is mainly made of reeds , willows and alders grow around the lake .

history

The body of water was created as a quarry pond in the late 1960s when sand and gravel were extracted in the area in open-cast mining to be used in the construction of Autobahn 61. The removed topsoil was reapplied after the deeper layers were removed and today forms the soft, boggy lake bed.
