The dam in the valley of the Agger is fed by the rivers Agger, Genkel and Rengse and has a total storage capacity of 20.5 million cubic meters. The reservoir covers an area of about 120 to 150 ha (depending on the water level), according to other information even 193 ha. The dam is 225 to 230 m long and 45 m high. It was built between 1927 and 1929. Through the three valleys, the reservoir visually stands out from many other dams.

The dam serves the power generation, the flood protection, the low water elevation and the industrial water supply. The power plant output is according to various information 2.25 or 3 MW. (Wikipedia)
