    The Hasper dam or Haspertalsperre is a dam that was built from 1901 to 1904 to plans by Otto Intze by the city Haspe (now district of Hagen) in the Ruhr area (North Rhine-Westphalia) for drinking water supply. It is one of 14 dams in the river system of the Ruhr. The inauguration took place on October 11, 1904.

    The dam wall of the Haspertalsperre is a curved gravity dam made of quarry stone masonry according to the Intze principle. The jammed water is the Hasper brook. The Haspertalsperre has a pre-basin, the Schöpplenberger pond.

    In the years 1991 to 1994, the dam was renovated and reinforced with a superior sealing shell. She was also increased by 40 cm. It belongs to the Mark-E Aktiengesellschaft.

    The two turrets of the dam were originally located in the middle, but have now been moved outwards to the wall end. In the original locations, two steering wheels are reminiscent of the towers. There is also a circa five kilometer round trail around the dam.

    Originally located near the dam was the breakpoint Hasper dam of the Kleinbahn Haspe-Voerde-Breckerfeld, later tram line 11, which was often the starting point for walks around the dam. Today, the so-called Plessen Viaduct recalls the narrow gauge railway, which was used to cross the valley. The later bus traffic to the dam was set on May 22, 1977, so that the lock is now only accessible on foot or by car.

      Around the dam there is a branched network of forest paths that can be included in a hike on and around the dam.

          The Hasper dam is the second largest dam in and around Ennepetal. The Ennepetalsperre is larger and the Heilenbecker dam the smallest. It was built from 1901-1904 according to the plans of Ing. Intze, according to whose plans the Heilenbecker dam was already built. The Hasper dam provides Hagen with drinking water. The round around the dam is a gravel track, which is also good to ride on a bike.

                  A beautiful barrier in Hagen!
                  You could walk around from the parking lot!
                  The route is about 5.5 km long with many benches where you can eat and drink and enjoy nature!

                            Im Dreieck zwischen Hagen, Ennepetal und Breckerfeld und auf dem Gebiet der ehemals eigenständigen Stadt Haspe liegt die Hasper-Talsperre versteckt in einem beschaulichen Tal. Die Talsperre staut den Hasperbach zu einem etwa 19 Hektar großen Stausee auf und dient vor allem der Abflussregulierung und Trinkwasserversorgung. Seinerzeit wuchs der Bedarf an Trink- und Brauchwasser insbesondere für die wachsende Einwohnerzahl und Industrie enorm an. Dagegen sorgten wiederkehrend Hochwasser für Probleme. Etwa 30 Meter hoch ist die 1904 eingeweihte Staumauer und hat eine Länge von ca. 260 Metern. Besonders markant sind die beiden runden Türmchen an den Enden und die Jugendstil-Brüstung. Diese standen ursprünglich beide etwas mittiger und wurden im Zuge einer Talsperren-Sanierung Anfang der 1990er Jahre umgesetzt. An ihrer alten Stelle befinden sich zwei Handräder als Erinnerung. Am nördlichen Talsperren-Ende fließt Hochwasser geräuschvoll in einen Überlauf und über zahlreiche Kaskaden zum Talgrund. Die Pläne des Staudamms stammen vom bekannten Architekten Otto Intze (1843-1904), der neben Talsperren auch Wassertürme konzipierte. Ein Intze-Wasserturm liegt gar nicht so weit entfernt von hier im ehemaligen Bahnbetriebswerk Dahlhausen und dem heutigen Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum und kann dort besichtigt werden.

                            Ein etwa 3,5 Kilometer langer Rundweg führt über die Mauerkrone und um den kompletten See, der bequem innerhalb einer guten Stunde umrundet werden kann. Genutzt wird der Weg vielfach auch von Radfahrern und Joggern. Durch die Nutzung für das Trinkwasser ist die Freizeitnutzung am Wasser allerdings eingeschränkt. Der See ist eingezäunt und kann nicht für Schwimmen, Strandbaden oder Tauchen genutzt werden. An vielen Stellen fließen kleine Bäche plätschernd in den See, Bänke laden an vielen Stellen zu einer Rast mit Blick auf den See und die bewaldeten Berghänge ein. Besonders gerne genutzt werden die der Sonne zugewandten Bänke am Hochwasserüberlauf im Norden, wo das Wasser geräuschvoll und beruhigend über die Betonkante fließt.

                                  It's mostly quiet at the Hasper Dam.

                                    The route is easy and pleasant to walk. The landscape is very beautiful and smells of forest and water. Every 200-300 is a bank that is wonderful for breaks.

                                            The Hasper Dam is hidden in a tranquil valley in the triangle between Hagen, Breckerfeld and Ennepetal. Since 1904 it has been damming up the Hasperbach to form a reservoir measuring around 19 hectares.
