Fühlinger See is not a single lake, but a large recreational area comprised of several interconnected artificial lakes in the north of Cologne-Fühlingen. Gravel was extracted here starting in 1912 for railway and road construction. The deep pits filled with groundwater due to the proximity of the Rhine. From 1967 onward, the area was recultivated and developed as a leisure and recreation area.
