Störmthaler See in early June 2006

The Störmthaler See is an artificial lake south of Leipzig . It was created by flooding the southeastern part of the former Espenhain open-cast lignite mine . The Markkleeberger See is directly adjacent , it is only separated by the Autobahn 38 .

Flooding

The lake has been filling naturally since January 1, 2001, but the controlled flooding did not begin until September 13, 2003. In March 2004, according to the Lausitzer und Mitteldeutsche Bergbau-Verwaltungsgesellschaft (LMBV), the water level was 89  m above sea level. NHN (19%) and in October 2010 a water level of 114  m above sea level. Reached NHN . In mid-September 2012, 40 centimeters were missing to the final water level of 117  m above sea level. NHN . When a dam broke near Oelzschau on June 3, 2013, the flood-leading Gösel flowed into the Störmthaler See in the Old Bed. Up to June 8, 2013, up to 3 m³ / s of water flowed into the lake, causing it to rise above the planned final water level. The water level could be normalized again via the new canoe park lock.

Swamp water from the active opencast mines Profen and Vereinigte Schleenhain was used for flooding . According to the experts, the final water level would not have been reached until 2075 without this extraneous water.

On April 27, 2014, designated areas of the lake were released as bathing water.

Leipzig New Lakeland

A lake landscape has been emerging as a post-mining landscape south of Leipzig for several years. The Cospudener See in the west is the oldest, the Markkleeberger See with its depth of approx. 57 meters is the deepest lake in the so-called Leipziger Neuseenland .

There are plans to connect the lakes with rivers and canals. Since May 2013 there has been a connection between the Markkleeberger and the Störmthaler See. A lock was built here for shipping because the Störmthaler See has a water level four meters higher. The canal has a bridge with a clearance of 9.4 meters, so that even medium-sized sailing boats can pass through. However, the Störmthaler See is not yet allowed to be used by private boats without a special permit.
