List of waters in the Eichsfeld
This list contains the most important bodies of water in the Eichsfeld . Due to the location of the Eichsfeld on the Elbe-Weser watershed , there are no major rivers here, only the Werra forms the border between the Eichsfeld and the Hessian Werra-Meißner district in the west . In return, numerous smaller and larger springs, especially at the layers of shell limestone and red sandstone, form a highly branched stream and river system, which has shaped today's landscape. In the Eichsfeld there are only a few natural lakes and a few retention basins, small ponds were often created for fish farming and to provide fire fighting water in the villages and monasteries.
The information relates to the administrative border of the Eichsfeld in 1802 with the end of the Kurmainzer rule and the taking over by the Kingdom of Prussia .

Standing waters
Lakes and ponds
The list below contains a number of small ponds , lakes and ponds . An exception in terms of size is the Seeburger See , which is also called the eye of the Eichsfeldes . Several other small bodies of standing water have disappeared over the centuries as a result of landscape changes and drainage. For example, on some historical maps from the 17th and 18th centuries, in the headwaters of the Unstrut, there is a small lake whose location is no longer known today.
