Lucherberger See is a former lake in Inden, Kreis Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its surface area was 56 ha and its depth was about 14 meters. The lake was fed with water from the Rur.[1] Starting in 2021, the lake was drained for the expansion of the Inden surface mine. The draining was completed in 2024.[2] For the future, after mining in the area will have ended, a new artificial lake called Indescher See is planned in the region, with filling of the lake starting in 2030 and completion around the year 2060.[3]
