The pond is classified as oligotrophic .

history

The Schiederweiher was built from 1897 to 1902 by the kuk court architect Johann Schieder. In order to end the increasing algae and siltation of the pond, the lake was rehabilitated in 2004/05 by the municipality of Hinterstoder with the support of the landowner, the Duke of Württemberg .

After the renovation, which was carried out while protecting the reed belt and the shallow water areas, the fish population in the lake was rebuilt in 2005 with brook trout from the region, arctic char , chars , minnows , cops and crayfish .

In 2018, the Schiederweiher was voted the most beautiful place in Austria in the TV audience voting 9 Places - 9 Treasures .
