Malter Dam. Information: A dam built between 1908 and 1913 that impounds the Rote Weißeritz river in its middle reaches. The local road connecting Malter and Seifersdorf runs across the dam.

It is very nice to stroll around the pond and enjoy the nature and the water in the middle of the city.

what a beautiful landscape

The Malter dam is a dam built between 1908 and 1913 in the Free State of Saxony near the town of Malter, which dams the middle reaches of the Rote Weisseritz. The dam is a curved gravity dam made of rubble masonry according to the Intze principle

The dam wall of the Malter dam was built between 1908 and 1913 under the direction of the Saxon mining authority. The wall is 36.5 meters high, 180 meters long and consists of rubble masonry with a concrete lining. It has a curvature that results from the topographical position of the valley in which the dam is located and helps to keep the wall stable. The dam is used for flood control and power generation, and has a five-port spillway that can be opened in an emergency to prevent excessive water level rise. The maximum discharge capacity of the weir is 110 cubic meters of water per second. In 2002, the wall was extensively renovated to ensure its stability and security.

At the moment, the (detour) way from the dam wall to the Seifersdorfer Grund is somewhat larger, since the Malter dam is being built at the stilling basin.

"Built under the reign of Sr. Maj. King Augustus III in the years 1909-1913." The trace of the original commemorative plaque is lost in the turmoil of war in the 20th century. This replica was created on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the dam. Malter on 09/27/2013
