The Jubach Dam was built between 1904 and 1906 according to the plans of the Aachen professor Otto Intze on the site of today's town of Kierspe in the Märkischer Kreis. The dam serves to supply drinking water and can be circumnavigated on a 2.7 km long path.

The dam wall, built from rubble stone, is a gravity dam, has a height of 27.7 m, a crown width of 4.5 m and a length of 152 m. With a maximum storage volume of 1.05 million m³ (at a height of 343.7 m above sea level), the largest possible surface area of the lake is 11.7 hectares. The Jubach, a tributary of the Volme, is dammed.

The facility was initially operated by the Volme Water Association, today the Lüdenscheid Water Supply Association.

Access to the Jubachtalsperre is possible via a branch off the B 54 in the town of Vollme, which belongs to Kierspe.

From 1990 to 1991, the dam was reinforced and sealed with a reinforced concrete sealing wall and provided with an inspection walkway. The drainage and measuring equipment were renewed.

In August 2009, work was carried out again on the top of the dam.
