About
The Großer Goitzschesee is the largest lake in the Goitzsche lake district, which emerged from the former Goitzsche (pronounced: Gottsche) brown coal open-cast mine in Saxony-Anhalt. The opencast mine residue lake belongs to the Bitterfeld mining area. The northeastern bay near Mühlbeck is called Amber Lake.
Since the flooding of the Geiseltalsee was completely in 2011, the Großer Goitzschesee has been the second largest lake in the Central German Lake District.
