The Fürstenteich, built in 1729, and the Teufelsteich above it provided water for the Silberhütte in the town of the same name below the dam. After mining in Neudorf ceased in 1903, additional water was supplied to these two and three other ponds through a 25.5 km long ditch system, the "Silberhütter Kunstgraben".
