The Upper Harz water shelf includes all structures that were built in the Upper Harz for water storage and its forwarding to the mines. These include the numerous ponds, the kilometer-long moats and all subterranean streams. The construction of these engineering masterpieces took place in the years from 1536 to 1866.
