    Construction of the flood retention basin began in September 1972. Official commissioning took place in March 1994 after a successful trial full embankment. In total, around 30 km of dams were built, 2 million cubic meters of soil were moved, pumping stations and bridges were built. The central building is the 116 meter long final structure in Salzderhelden near Einbeck. It includes five segments. The middle three have segment weirs 15 meters long. All five segments are equipped with fish belly flaps for flood relief. Since 2000, operations have been optimized by a process control system in the control center and a computer-aided control and flood forecasting model.
