    The Sperberhaier Damm is an aqueduct of the Upper Harz water shelf. It was laid out in the 18th century and served to direct the water from the dam ditch over the sparrowhawk shark depression onto the Clausthal plateau. This was intended to cover the rapidly increasing demand for power water for the water wheels of the Clausthal mines. The water flowed in a run on the top of the dam. The hydraulic output was up to 1000 liters per second at peak times. An open channel is now only visible at the western end.
