The Lehnmühle dam is part of the Klingenberg/Lehnmühle dam network system and supplies raw water for the drinking water supply of the cities of Dresden and Freital. At the same time, the Lehnmühle dam in its function as a storage facility also acts as a pre-dam for the Klingenberg dam. The raw water from the plant is fed into the Klingenberg dam and on to the Klingenberg and Coschütz waterworks. The Lehnmühle dam also serves to protect against flooding and to generate electricity.

It was built after the completion of the Klingenberg and Malter dams in 1926. With industrialization at the beginning of the 20th century, the population also grew in the Dresden and Freital area. Drinking water reservoirs were required to supply people with sufficient water. The old tin road from the Altenberger and Niederpöbeler tin ore areas to the Freiberger Hütten once led through the valley of today's reservoir. The "Wilde Weisseritz" flowed through the "Steinbrücke", which gave the village that gave way for the dam its name: Steinbrückmühle.

However, the dam was not named after the place, but after a grinding and board mill from the Middle Ages, which stood below the dam wall. Like almost all mills, it was looted and destroyed during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). Changing owners tried to establish various trades there, such as a wood grinding shop or gastronomy. Until 1973, the "VEB Landmaschinen" company had its headquarters in the old Lehnmühle. After that, however, she visibly declined. It therefore had to be completely demolished at the end of 2006. Today, the name Lehnmühle Dam is a reminder of the old Lehnmühle, which has two special features: It was one of the first dams with a straight quarry stone wall. And its approximately 42 meter high dam wall is one of the longest in Germany with a remarkable length of 520 meters.

Construction period: 1927 to 1931
Commissioning: 1931

The Lehnmühle dam is located directly at Frauenstein. Parking lots are available for free. The Lehnmühle dam is in an attractive landscape in the Ore Mountains.
