With the ordinance of January 29, 1997, this pond and other ponds and the meadows and forest areas along the Steinbach were declared a nature reserve. With the protected status, the Waldwiesental, which is rich in rare animal and plant species, and the ponds with their adjacent areas were to be preserved, protected and further developed through suitable maintenance measures.
