    The Markersbach pumped storage power station (or the Markersbach lower reservoir) is a dam that is connected to the river "Große Mittweida".
    The Markersbach pumped storage power station (PSW Markersbach) in Saxony, which went online in 1979, is the second largest pumped storage power station in Germany with an output of 1046 megawatts and is one of the largest hydroelectric power plants of its kind in Europe.
