The Oberlübber Bergsee or Blaue See (also Bergsee Oberlübbe ) is a lake in the Wiehengebirge not far from the Bröderhauser Berg . It is 167 m long and up to 50 m wide with a circumference of about 400 m. This results in an area of around 0.8 ha . It is around 200 m above sea level. NN and is located in the area of the village of Oberlübbe in the municipality of Hille in the East Westphalian district of Minden-Lübbecke . The lake and the surrounding area are privately owned.
The lake is located in an abandoned quarry , which filled with groundwater and falling surface water after mining ended .
The lake is the largest mountain lake in the Wiehengebirge and one of the northernmost mountain lakes in the German low mountain range. It is also the highest lake in the district.
In 2012 the lake played a role in an unsolved homicide. For this reason and because of the steeply sloping cliff walls, even the owners are not allowed to enter the site. Unlawful entry leads to an advertisement after an unconfirmed newspaper report. However, it seems questionable whether there is "one" owner of the lake at all, because the lake is spread over eight cadastral areas, of which the lake area itself only makes up a small proportion.
In 2020, after weeks of fruitless search, the body of a missing person was recovered from the lake.
