The Herbringhauser dam (until 2006 "Upper Herbringhauser dam") is a drinking water dam in the Bergisches Land (North Rhine-Westphalia). It was built from 1898 to 1901 by the city of Barmen, which was still independent at the time and now belongs to Wuppertal. The Herbringhauser Bach is dammed. Until December 31, 2015, the Wuppertaler Stadtwerke (WSW) was the operator. On January 1, 2016, the dam became the property of the Wupperverband, which had acquired it together with the Kerspe dam from the WSW for EUR 46 million.
