It is used for flood control, low water (water), hydro and recovery and was put into operation on 19 November 1975. Normally, the dam is only half full; the remaining storage space (13.2 million m³) is intended for flood protection. The reservoir is operated by the Water Management Office Weiden, the power plant Eixendorf by the Bavarian state power plants.
The dam is a rockfill dam with an asphalt concrete interior gasket. A road leads over the dam.
In the reservoir drowned Eixendorf, Höllmühle, Obermühle, Seebarnhammer and a section of the former railway line Bodenwöhr-Rötz.
