The Biesdorfer Baggersee is an excavation lake located in the locality (Ortsteil) of Biesdorf within the borough (Bezirk) of Marzahn-Hellersdorf in Berlin, Germany. It is one of the largest quarry ponds in the Berlin area.
Biesdorfer Baggersee lies in a largely built-up area. A large filter system for rainwater is located a few meters west of its bank.[1] A 1,400 m (4,600 ft) long path runs around the quarry pond, which has several access points to the lake. The shore is overgrown with reeds, trees, and other vegetation on most parts of the lake. Only in the north is the shore area protected from entering by a fence. In the south of the lake, there are two separate sandy beaches, which are not approved for swimming. Several wooden loungers were installed at the lake and a volleyball court was created. The species of fish commonly found in the lake are carp, pike and roach.
