The reservoir's purpose is to clean the Broichbach stream before it flows into the Wurm river. It consists of a small pond at its upper end, where coarse debris settles, and a larger reservoir where the remaining debris is deposited. Despite its dirty function, it blends in perfectly with the landscape.

When the weather is good, you can always take a break at the Herzogenrath rain retention basin / “Weiher”.
