location
The water is in the northeast of the district . The federal highway 246 passes to the north, the federal highway 179 to the west . In the south, the lake is bounded by industrial buildings, to the east the Gräbendorfer Landgraben , located in a wooded area, leads towards Gräbendorf . The lake has an area of around 25 ha .
history
The lake is not of natural origin. Rather, it came into being at the end of the 19th century when numerous brick factories were built in the region . This was also the case in 1895, when the Heise & Schrobsdorff brickworks mined clay in the vicinity of Pätz to manufacture bricks . It has been handed down from 1910 that 25 million bricks were produced there annually. Due to an uncontrolled flow of water, a connection road to Prieros broke off in 1927 and partially sank into the lake. Workers built a new section of road around 100 m further north, which in the 21st century will be part of the B 246. During the National Socialist era, there was a vehicle depot for the Schutzstaffel on the west and south banks from 1943 to 1945 . In 1944 and 1945, when the clay was mined, workers exposed a strong water vein that could no longer be closed. The clay pit was abandoned and filled with groundwater. The brickworks including the kilns were demolished in 1953. During the GDR era , the SS buildings that had become vacant were initially used by the Free German Youth and later by the GDR border troops . The lake was used for breeding pikeperch . It is still there in 2018. There are also pike , perch , carp , eel and tench .
