The Butzensee is often referred to as one of the few natural lakes on the Albrand. However, the lake could already be completely drained in the Middle Ages via a weir. Since the lake lay directly on the border between Württemberg's Bodelshausen and Hohenzollern's Sickingen, there were repeated conflicts over it.
