Lake Helmuth Schack (German: Helmuth-Schack-See or simply Schacksee) is a lake in Osdorf, Hamburg, Germany, adjacent to the boundaries of Schenefeld in Schleswig-Holstein. Düpenau stream runs through it, and the small stream of Luruper Moorgraben flows into it.
History edit
Lake Helmuth Schack is located in the Born Park and was created artificially as a retention basin for the regulation of water levels. Before the establishment of the retention basin there was the Deesmoor, a remnant of the glacial moor valley on the northwest edge of the Osdorf fields.[1] A weir was constructed, and the area was flooded.[2] Over the years, the Born Park was developed around the Schacksee, which is today used as a recreational area, mostly by the inhabitants of Osdorf, Osdorfer Born and nearby Schenefeld in Schleswig-Holstein.
