Iberg Dam

There will be no getting through here in the near future, the bridge will be rebuilt.

The Iberg flood retention basin was built between 1949 and 1952 near Nordhausen in Thuringia, in the Nordhausen district, for flood protection. It is a constantly partially dammed retention basin. The Krebsbach is dammed. The reservoir is not far from the Neustadt dam, in which the Krebsbach is also dammed.The barrier structure is an earth dam with an inclined inner seal. In 1955, the subsurface was subsequently sealed with a sealing veil from the water-side berm. In the deeper underground there are greywacke and shiny slate, which are covered by rubble, layers of plaster and clay. The flood relief and the extraction facilities are located on the left side of the dam.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talsperre_Iberg
