Not just a dam, but a piece of history and a structure that rightfully deserves its protected status. The dam is the first and only arched inline dam in Germany with a sloping water face. While it was actually destined for "controlled decay" in the 1970s, it underwent extensive restoration starting in 2006. It's a fantastic highlight on a road cycling tour (with a scenic approach), but also ideal for family outings, including a visit to the hydropower educational trail that circles the lake.

At that time, instead of self-sufficiency, they relied on long-term supply contracts with an external supplier. Since the demolition costs were avoided, the complex was preserved. In 1988 the water was drained for safety reasons.
Since then, the valley has mainly served as a local recreation area. For a long time, I only knew the valley like this from my childhood, but I have to say that after a renovation in 2007, it was dammed up with water again, which I definitely like better 😉

Rest on the banks of the reservoir, parking and access to the bank in several places.
