The Rantzauer See is located in the town of Barmstedt in the Pinneberg district in southwestern Schleswig-Holstein . It is almost 420 by 280 meters, has an area of 7.5 hectares and is no deeper than three meters. In the years from 1934 to 1938 the lake was dug by hand by the Reich Labor Service on the orders of the National Socialists . The water level of the Rantzauer See is regulated by the damming of the Krückau , which feeds it. This encroachment on nature and the associated interruption of the hiking trail for the local fish world caused problems in the past. Therefore, in 1981, a nine-step fish ladder was built on the weir of the castle island, via which the fish could continue their migration to the upper spawning grounds.
The history of the castle island in the lake goes back to the 12th and 13th centuries when the Knights of Barmstede had their seat here. On the Barmstedter Schlossinsel there is a historical ensemble of buildings with the Rantzau Castle ( classicist mansion from 1806 in private ownership), the clerk's house (classicist building from 1824, today containing changing exhibitions), the former district court (19th century, today Museum of the County of Rantzau ) and the castle prison (1836, two of the historical prison cells preserved, today café and exhibitions). A 19th century watermill also borders the castle island .
The Rantzauer See is visited by several thousand people every year. Around the lake there is a rhododendron park and several cafes, in the summer months there is the possibility of renting pedal boats or swimming in the outdoor pool and in the Rantzauer forest bordering the lake you can hike and cycle.
