Facts about the Flughafensee

The Flughafensee was created during the period from 1953 to 1978 as a result of the mining of gravel in this area. Extensive renaturation measures ensured that the artificial lake now fits naturally into its surroundings. The lake is about 74 acres in size and, with its maximum depth of 34.3 metres, is the deepest body of water in Berlin.
