The lake's shores, some of which are protected, are breeding grounds for many bird species. Regular breeding birds include white-tailed eagles, bitterns, marsh harriers, goldeneyes, red-crested pochards, teals, tufted ducks, mallards, coots[3], mute swans, Egyptian geese, greylag goose, Canada goose, great reed warblers, marsh warblers, sedge warblers, reed warblers, great crested grebes, herring gulls, black-headed gulls, and cuckoos. The lake is also an important moulting site for tufted ducks. A natural spectacle regularly observed in autumn is flocks of starlings, sometimes numbering in the tens of thousands, which, after spectacular flight maneuvers, seek roosting grounds in the lake's reed belt. Another natural spectacle, this time in winter, is the incursion of sometimes thousands of cormorants, especially during periods of marginal ice formation on the nearby Baltic Sea coast.

The natural area features numerous protected areas in almost all protection categories. Only a small number of areas are designated as true nature reserves, including the Alter und Neuer See bird sanctuary south of Sulzheim-Mönchstockheim. Another larger area is the Dürrfelder and Sulzheimer Wald fauna-flora habitat, which is also one of the largest forest areas within the Steigerwald foothills. The area is also part of the Schweinfurt Basin and Northern Steigerwald Foothills bird sanctuary.

In the course of extensive renovation work at the Raisdorf 2 hydroelectric power station, the Rosensee had to be drained for more than three months in 2004.

The lake was created as a reservoir in 1908 during the construction of the Schwentine hydroelectric power plants by shipyard founder Bernhard Howaldt and is now a fundamental part of the Schwentine Landscape Park. To create the reservoir, Bernhard Howaldt had to purchase land along the Schwentine River as far as the lands of Count Christian zu Rantzau (Rastorf Estate) and Preetz Monastery. The price per hectare at the time was approximately 2,000 marks. Raisdorf was first supplied with electricity in 1904 by the Raisdorf 1 hydroelectric power plant at the Rastorfer Mill. The Raisdorf 2 hydroelectric power plant followed in 1909. The power plants are now listed as historical monuments and are operated and maintained by Kiel's municipal utilities.
