The town hall was inaugurated in 1897. It is considered "unfinished" because it could not be built as planned with two wings, with an entrance and tower in the center. The owner of the house to the right of the town hall did not want to sell his house at the time.

The lake is almost always used for angling, as fishing rights are legally granted to every body of surface water. Since this is accompanied by a duty of care in most German federal states, the aim is to maintain a near-natural fish population in gravel pits used for fishing through stocking[4]. Some lakes have beaches or are also set up for other types of water sports, particularly boating, water skiing, or windsurfing. Large parking areas, lifeguards, and restaurants are also set up for these uses. Some gravel pits are accessible by public transport. In some cases, the gravel pit is subsequently used for nature conservation, such as the two gravel pits in the Aitrach gravel pit nature reserve.

Where mining has cut into the groundwater level, groundwater-fed quarry ponds are created. Less frequently, quarry ponds are deliberately created, primarily as local recreation areas. The mining pits are usually landscaped in accordance with legally required renaturation.

In common parlance, all water-filled remnants of a wet excavation are called "quarry lakes." In technical terms, it has been suggested that bodies of water with a size of less than three hectares and a water depth of less than four meters be called "gravel ponds," as they do not meet the limnological definition of a lake.[2] However, this has not been adopted.

A gravel pit (also known as a quarry lake, gravel pit, or gravel pond in Austria) is an artificial, usually relatively small lake created by dredging sand and gravel deposits (gravel mining), usually by wet mining. It is often flowed through by groundwater.
