The Döllnitzsee dam (also Wermsdorf or Laubethal dam) is a dam in Saxony that was built in 1850 southwest of Wermsdorf and reconstructed in 1981–1983. It is part of the Wermsdorf Lakes. The dam and its two pre-dams, the Horstsee (72 ha) and the Göttwitzsee (80 ha), are used for service water supply, flood protection, fishing and recreation. The barrier structure of the Döllnitzsee dam and the pre-dams are earth dams. The dammed waters are the Döllnitz and the Saubach. The reservoir is located on the watershed between the Elbe and Mulde. Therefore, the water from the Horstsee not only flows to the Döllnitz and the Elbe, but also to the Mulde through the Mutzschen water.
