    The dam was built by the city of Remscheid between 1905 and 1908[1] as a drinking water dam. Several stone tools from the Stone Age were found.

    The capacity is six million cubic meters. The Neye stream is dammed. The dam is a curved gravity dam made of quarry stone masonry according to the Intze principle.

    The reservoir can be hiked around in about three hours. The paths run directly along the water and lead exclusively through the forest. The shortest route to circumnavigate the dam is around eleven kilometers long and is very popular with joggers and walkers. The larger Bevertalsperre and the small Schevelinger or Silbertalsperre are very close by. An underground tunnel leads from the Silbertalsperre to the Neyetalsperre and from there to the Bevertalsperre, known as the Bever Block. The dam, which was built as a drinking water dam and has been used for many years, has been operated as a process water dam since 2004. Drinking water should only be taken from it again in the event of an acute water shortage.

        Since the water requirements of the city of Remscheid could no longer be completely covered by the neighboring Eschbach dam, the first plans for another dam were made as early as 1902. After work began in the Neyetal near Wipperfürth in 1907, the dam, which was constructed according to the Intze principle, was put into operation in the spring of 1909. With a capacity of 6 million m³, the Neyetalsperre supplied the city of Remscheid with drinking water until 2004. Today it remains as a replacement for emergencies and is otherwise used for flood protection or to raise low water levels. Since 2007 we have been responsible for the operational management of the Neyetalsperre, which is owned by EWR GmbH. The Neyetalsperre is connected to the Bever Dam, the Schevelingen Dam and the Mühlenteich Wasserfuhr via tunnels and together they form the Bever Block. It is connected to the Eschbachtalsperre by a 15 km long pipeline.
