The Döllnitzsee dam (also Wermsdorf or Laubethal dam) is a dam in Saxony that was built in 1850 southwest of Wermsdorf and reconstructed in 1981–1983. It is part of the Wermsdorf Lakes. The dam and its two pre-dams, the Horstsee (72 ha) and the Göttwitzsee (80 ha), are used for service water supply, flood protection, fishing and recreation. The barrier structure of the Döllnitzsee dam and the pre-dams are earth dams. The dammed waters are the Döllnitz and the Saubach. The reservoir is located on the watershed between the Elbe and Mulde. That is why the water from the Horstsee not only flows to the Döllnitz and the Elbe, but also to the Mulde through the Mutzschen water.

Together with the Horstsee and the Göttwitzsee, it is part of the large Wermsdorf ponds and is used primarily for intensive fish farming.

The dam is still very young. It was only built between 1981 and 1984. It was built to increase the usable pond area for fish farming and to protect the Döllnitz valley from flooding. With its 6.6 meter high and 360 meter long earth dam, it dams the Döllnitz. The dammed water creates a lake of almost 83 hectares with a capacity of 2.9 million cubic meters of water.
