location
The Werbeliner See is located in the northwest of the Free State of Saxony at an altitude of about 98 m above sea level. NN . It is located between the cities of Delitzsch and Leipzig, west of Bundesstraße 184 . To the west of the Werbeliner See lake are the Grabschützer See and the Zwochauer See , south of the Schladitzer See .

history
In 1975, lignite mining began in the area of what is now Lake Werbeliner . In the following years the places Kattersnaundorf , Grabschütz and Werbelin (formerly Rundling) had to give way. There is a memorial stone at the former site of Werbelin. The coal was transported on a specially built railway line to Bitterfeld and from there to the power generation and chemical industry. The Werbeliner See emerged from the main remaining hole of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine, which was closed in 1993 , and was flooded from the Neue Luppe from 1998 to 2010 . In March 2004 it was 87% full, according to the LMBV . The area is being recultivated.
use
Hiking and biking trails have been created that are also used with inline skates and extend to the nearby Zwochauer See and Grabschützer See as well as to the Schladitzer See , about 2 kilometers away . The 120 km long cycle path from Lutherstadt Wittenberg to Markkleeberg "Coal-Steam-Light" leads past the lake.
There is also a nature trail with display boards. In February 2007, the overflow channel (Brodauer Ableiter) was built, which flows into the Lober stream between Zschortau and Brodau . The lake has been a bird sanctuary since 2006 and a temporarily secured nature reserve since July 2016 .
