The Schenkensee is a pond in the area of the town of Iphofen in the Bavarian district of Kitzingen .
geography
The lake belongs to the Dornheim district and is about 1.6 km south-southeast from the center of the village of Dornheim. It lies in the valley basin of the Gießgraben running northeast , which just belongs to the western edge of the southern or front Steigerwald , while Dornheim itself is already part of the upstream Hellmitzheimer Bucht of the Steigerwald foreland .
The next places are the Einöde Forsthaus about 0.8 km east in the Limpurger Forest to the right of the Gießgraben valley and the small hamlet Fischhof about 1.2 km downstream in the northeast at the Gießgraben crossing of the district road KT 3 from Dornheim, from which a dirt road leads to the lake .
description
From a geological point of view, the pond lies in the clay-rich Gipskeuper ( grave field formation ) of the western Steigerwald.
It has a roughly right-angled-triangular contour with the approximately 155 m long hypotenuse in the northeast, where a straight and not very high road dam dams it. It covers an area of about 0.9 hectares and is traversed by a short brook that comes from a forest in the west on the left slope of the pouring ditch and flows into the pouring ditch about 20 meters below the dam. The lake is surrounded by a gallery of trees on the dam with gaps, outside of which a moist and herbaceous meadow area extends in the south to the upstream pouring ditch, less far along the stream to the west and least to the northwest. In the north there are fields close to the shore.
The lake is used as a fish pond and is designated as a natural monument.
history
The lake can already be found on maps from the 19th century and, according to its name, existed much earlier, as the Limpurg-Speckheimer branch of the Limpurg taverns, which died out in 1713 in the vicinity, owned and was wealthy with about one seat on the castle Speckfeld in Markt Einersheim 6.5 km to the north.
