The pretty little reservoir owes its existence to uranium mining, because the Silberbach stream was dammed here to provide water for the uranium mines.

History Plans for a dam in the Zwickauer Mulde valley in the area of the current dam wall had been in place since 1890, and these plans became more concrete in 1908. For this reason, plans for an extension of the Neidhardtsthal paper factory were abandoned in 1905. In September 1915, the Royal District Administration of Schwarzenberg announced in the Schönheider Wochenblatt that preparatory work was being carried out for the dams on the Zwickauer Mulde near Eibenstock and on the Kleine Bockau near Sosa. The work would affect the areas of Neidhardtsthal, Muldenhammer, Hundshübel, Eibenstock, Schönheide, Schönheiderhammer, Unterstützengrün, Sosa, Blauenthal and Wildenthal. In 1919, however, the Saxon government announced that the dam project was being abandoned. It was only the growing population numbers in Zwickau and Chemnitz in the 1960s that gave rise to the old planning considerations again.

Always very impressive

The dam was built between 1948 and 1951. After the founding of the GDR, the dam was called the “Dam of Peace”. It was the first so-called "central youth facility" of the newly founded state on October 7, 1949. Source: http://www.sosa-online.de/geschichte.html

The panoramic view from the dam wall over the forests is simply picturesque. Great place for hikes around the dam.
