history

Today's bathing lake was created in the mid-1950s when the federal motorway 3 from Frankfurt am Main to Würzburg was built . The removal of sand and gravel, which was necessary for the construction of the Stockstadt motorway bridge and for the construction of the concrete roadway at the time, began. A total of 850,000 m³ of gravel was dredged in Mainaschaff, which was also used to build other bridges and the carriageway in the Spessart . The sand and gravel were brought to Hösbach by steam locomotives on their own field railway and transported from there to the individual construction sites by truck . This was enough for the section from Stockstadt to Rohrbrunn . Over the years, the gravel pit filled with groundwater and the Mainparksee was created. In 1962 the lake was fenced in because of the wild bathing.

fauna

Pike , pikeperch and carp live in the Mainparksee .
