    With a height of almost 70 meters, the dam is one of the highest in Germany and correspondingly large is the Rursee behind it. The dam was built mainly to regulate the water level of the river and to generate electricity. There is a snack bar right by the dam, which is a popular meeting place for motorcyclists, who are well represented here on sunny weekends.
