The Rubbenbruchsee is an artificially created lake in the west of Osnabrück and part of a large local recreation area . It is about 24 hectares, has a length of one kilometer and a width of 100-300 meters. The depth of the water varies between two and 24 meters. The only island is in the south of the lake.
geography
The Rubbenbruchsee lies about four kilometers northwest of the Osnabrück city center and forms the border between the districts of Westerberg and Atter . The Eversburg district adjoins the local recreation area to the northeast.
The lake is running in a north-south direction, a few hundred meters wide plains , the Rubbenbruch . Geologically, it is a rift fracture that arose during the mountainous formation of the Osnabrück hill country . The Rubbenbruch also shows the remains of the old Osnabrück Landwehr .
The surroundings of the lake are characterized by extensive forest and meadow areas, which form an inner-city extension of the TERRA.vita nature park . To the west of the lake lies the largely agricultural Atterheide with the airport of the same name . The forest areas Heger Holz and, a little to the north of it, the Natruper Holz extend to the east . These are also used for local recreation. In the south, there are wet meadows and another forest area, the Hakenhof Holz . A few hundred meters southeast of the lake is the Osnabrück Clinic on the Finkenhügel . In addition, there is a green connection that leads from the Rubbenbruchsee towards the east through the Heger Holz and over the Westerberg and almost reaches the city center.
Emergence
As early as the 1930s, plans arose to create a recreational lake in the Rubbenbruch area. Other artificially created lakes near the city, such as the Aasee in Münster or the Maschsee in Hanover, both of which were completed in the 1930s, can be seen as models . Alternatively, there were plans to build a housing estate in the area. However, neither of the two plans could be realized before the start of the Second World War. After the war, the area was partly fallow.
In 1955, preliminary investigations were started and the water surface of at least 22 hectares required for a permanently stable water level was calculated. The planning for the lake was carried out by Professor Peucker and the then Green Space Office of the City of Osnabrück. In the 1960s, the excavation could be used as building material for the dams of the planned Autobahn 30 and Bundesstraße 51 in the east of Osnabrück (today's A 33 ). The city of Osnabrück acquired the land required for the lake construction from Heger Laischaft, among others . The trail around the lake is named after Karl Kühling , the accountant at that time for Heger Laischaft .
The excavation work on the sand at Rubbenbruch began in 1968. The excavation was removed using a suction excavator and pumped through a pipeline to the A 30 construction site. However, less than half the amount of sand that had to be dug to complete the lake was required to fill the road embankments. The construction work therefore paused between 1970 and 1975. The city looked for a cost-effective solution and reached an agreement with a construction company that would continue the work and in return could sell the dredged sand. For this purpose, silos were set up on the edge of the lake under construction. At this point in time, the lake was already being used for recreation after the first sections of the bank were greened and paths were built. It was not until March 22, 1991, that the final size of 24 hectares was reached and the dredging work was completed. Finally, the surrounding areas were designed as a park-like recreational area.
To the west of the lake, the construction of an open-air pool was planned for the then still independent municipality of Atter , but this was never realized. In 1972 Atter was incorporated into Osnabrück.
leisure offers
Due to the natural design in the immediate vicinity of the city area, the Rubbenbruchsee is a popular destination, especially in the summer months. The lake is surrounded by a 3.2 km long footpath with plenty of seating, which makes it interesting for joggers and cyclists. Parts of the circular route are used for the annual New Year's Eve run in Osnabrück .
The northern part of the water can be explored by rentable pedal boats. In the north of the lake there are restaurants with parking facilities and a mini golf course , while in the southern part the landscape is mainly characterized by natural meadows. There is a children's playground and barbecue facilities here. Fishing is permitted on the west bank of the lake. For reasons of nature conservation, bathing is prohibited in the entire lake; the Attersee a few kilometers away is available for this.
Equestrian sport
There are several riding stables in the vicinity of the Rubbenbruchsee , which is why the area is often used by riders. So that they don't have to share the paths with pedestrians and cyclists, the Rubbenbruch is made accessible by bridle paths. Some of these run parallel to the existing footpaths and cycle paths at a distance of just a few meters.
