The Fürwiggetalsperre is one of the four dams that were built by industry around the turn of the century to store the energy for the water-powered machines in the Versetal's factories. It was inaugurated in 1904. This is why this barrage was originally called the "Versetalsperre", but later, when the new Versetalsperre was built between Lüdenscheid-Treckinghausen and Neuemühle, it was renamed the "Fürwiggetalsperre" after a tributary.

A paved footpath leads around the Fürwigge dam, accompanied by an exciting educational trail.
The wall crown is 166 m long and approx. 29 m high. On the left side of the top of the dam is the monument to the Mark industrialist Karl Berg from 1907. The dam of the Fürwiggetalsperre with valve towers, valve houses and basin was registered as a monument in 2004 and was built in 1902 and 1904 according to a design by the well-known professor for Hydraulic engineering and construction by Otto Intze.
It is a quarry stone barrier wall with a symmetrical structure (166 m long and 29 m high). The outside inspection is possible at any time. sauerland.com/Media/Attractions/Fuerwiggetalsperre
