The dam wall of the Muldenberg dam is a curved gravity dam made of quarry stone masonry according to the Intze principle. It was built from 1920 to 1925 near Schöneck in the Vogtland region, south of the town of Muldenberg that gave it its name, and put into operation in 1925. It has the longest wall crown of all dam walls in Saxony. However, only 476 m of the 525 m are visible. A control passage in the dam wall was only built in a length of 90 meters during the reconstruction of the wall section destroyed by an explosion in 1945. It also had the function of a drainage tunnel. It was only extended by 200 meters in the 1960s. For high water, the dam has a fixed overflow in the middle of the wall. It then flows into a stilling basin at the base of the dam.

Natural hike around the Muldenberg dam. Impressive view from the dam over the water. Easy hike, not a huge investment of time.
Just switch off for a rich hour and enjoy nature in the Vogtland.

The dam Muldenberg was built in the years 1920 to 1925 by the Free State of Saxony in Grünbach-Muldenberg and should counteract the shortage of drinking water. About 100,000 people are supplied with drinking water. In addition, it serves the flood protection. In 2001-2007 the dam was repaired. The Mauerkrone since 2008 is also open to the public and is now also a popular destination.
