The dam was built from 1891 to 1894 and is therefore the oldest in Saxony. The Allied criminals tried desperately to destroy them from the air. The traces in the form of bomb craters can still be found everywhere in the forest

Worth seeing in cloudy/overcast weather, creates a great mystical atmosphere.

The oldest drinking water dam in Saxony - which is also the third oldest in Germany - is located in a forest in the Chemnitz district of Einsiedel. It was built from quarry stone between 1891 and 1894. It serves as a balancing reservoir for the Einsiedel waterworks and is connected to the Neunzehnhain I and II and Saidenbach dams by pipelines, tunnels, canals, artificial ditches and natural watercourses. The Stadtguttalbach is dammed here, but due to its small size it only contributes a small amount to the water volume of the dam.
