Geiseltalsee
Geiseltalsee, literally Geisel valley lake, is at about 1,900 hectares (4,700 acres) the largest artificial lake by area in Germany[1] lying in the Saalekreis district, Saxony-Anhalt. The lake was created in 2003-11 by flooding a former opencast lignite mine in the Geiseltal (Geisel valley); the name of that valley had become widely known due to the notable fossil record which emerged from that coal mine.

gollark: It's something like 8 characters, and does a clever thing to match any number (in unary) with factors other than 1 and itself. It also probably makes regex engines suffer horribly.
gollark: You can implement a primality checker quite easily with backreferences or something.
