From a small reservoir in the upper part of the valley called "In der Rhenn", the dam remains in remnants According to the latest archaeological research, this is a dike pond (or tub pond), in which the wooden pipes for the water supply to the castle in the Time between production and installation were stored.

The dam is 30 m long and 2.5 m high in the central part; it has a sole width of 5 - 6 m and a crown of 2 m width. The dam has broken through in the middle today, so that the former pond area is largely dry. An entry in the so-called "Tranchot map", the map of the Rhineland from the French era, shows that this is a historical site. In the Blankenheim sheet of this topographical map series made in 1808/09, the pond behind the dam is shown as a body of water. tiergartentunnel.de/3.-staudamm.html
