Built in the 1950s (there is also an information center) and regulative for all barrages of the river Lech downstream.

In 1954, the dam near Roßhaupten was used to create the Roßhaupten reservoir from the former Füssen Lake, which is the largest dam in Germany in terms of surface area.
With an area of 15.2 km², it is the fifth largest lake in Bavaria, but its origin is not directly comparable to the other Alpine lakes that were created from glacial lakes. To protect against flooding on the Lech, the water level of the Forggensee is lowered significantly in winter.
