Herrenteich is a place in Reinfeld, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, with a rich history dating back to the 12th century when Cistercian monks created ponds for fish farming. The area is now a nature reserve with extensive siltation zones, reedbeds, wet meadows, and willow marsh, making it a great spot for birdwatching. Visitors can see various bird species, including Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler, and Western Marsh Harrier. The nearby town of Reinfeld is also known as the 'Carp Town' and hosts an annual Carp Festival. The town has a long history, with the first monastery founded in 1186, and has been part of various rulers, including the Danes and the Prussians
