The first plans already existed in 1781 by the architect Wilhelm Bayer. The lake, upon its construction in 1895–1897, was used only as a utility water reservoir, and until recently as a drinking water reservoir for the Wiental water pipeline of the Wiental waterworks. The content of the basin, which is created by a 240-meter-long and 13-meter-high dam, was 1,430,000 cubic meters at the time.

The Sängerbrunnen fountain was erected by the Purkersdorf Beautification Society in 1875 to commemorate a concert by the Vienna Men's Choir. A plaque at the rear of the fountain commemorates this. The small monument and fountain were part of the nature trail from 1967 onwards. The water fed the Fürstenberg fountain on the main square until the 1980s. The Sängerbrunnen fountain was renovated in 2003. [naturpark-purkersdorf.at]
