The name of Lake Luther refers to its proximity to Lutherstein. The Luthersee will form a natural unity with the neighboring Bergweg and Schafteich lakes as landscape lakes, which will only be accessible through hiking and cycling paths. The comparatively small Luthersee is being developed as a landscape lake. With the exception of the eastern bank, the banks of Lake Luther have already been fully formed and are subject to natural succession. Source: http://www.erfurter-seen.de/content/see_luthersee.htm
