The Steinfurths Diek is an artificially dammed lake in the Hamburg district of Billstedt . It is fed by the Glinder Au and flows over a weir towards Steinbeker Mühlenteich. The name goes back to a historical, stone ford at this point. The shoal in the course of the Glinder Au led to an elevation ( Diek ) running parallel to the stream . In the 16th century, the Glinder Au was dammed here in order to build a mill.
The surrounding Waldpark Steinfurth has developed into a biologically valuable green area in the east of Hamburg and is home to kingfishers and gray herons. Rare butterfly and dragonfly species such as the land map , the aurora butterfly or the banded demoiselle also have their habitat.
At the weir there is a fish ladder made up of a series of concrete pools that are 3 meters wide, 1 meter long and 1 meter deep and have a fall depth of approximately 23 cm. In 2005, NABU complained that the construction was not suitable for eels and burbot , among other things . Even jumping salmonids could hardly climb these stairs because the approach path is too short.
Eels , carp , tench , crucian carp and pond clams can be found in the lake, which is classified as a cyprinid body . Fishing is only allowed to members of the registered association "Fishing Friends of 1963".
In 2004 an application was made to designate the Steinfurther Dieks as a natural monument.
