Together with the Döllnitzsee and Göttwitzsee dams, it is part of the large Wermsdorf ponds. The Horstsee is the oldest of these facilities. The name of the dam comes from a striking island in the middle of the pond, which was previously called "Horst". Even today, the Horstsee is mainly used for fishing. It was created as a fish pond in 1500 and has been state-owned since 1580. The dam has two earthen dams. The Saubach, a second order water body, is dammed. The dam's storage volume is around 1.4 million cubic meters. Source:https://www.wasserwirtschaft.sachsen.de/TS_Horstsee.html

The Wermsdorfer longing for the splendor of the former court hunts is manifested in a bronze reference to the Saxon King Albert. On June 21, 1908, the monument of King Albert as a huntsman in a loden jacket, hunting hat and double-barreled shotgun was unveiled in the presence of King Friedrich August III.
