At the beginning of the 17th century, iron mining at the Ochsenkopf became more active. In addition to charcoal, a lot of water was also needed as an energy source. So that the iron processing companies could also work in periods of little rain, ponds were built above the companies to store the water and release it when needed. Additional ditches were dug to fill the ponds, including the Bocksgraben in 1797.
