The Stollberg Dam (also called the Querenbach Dam or Querenbach Dam) was built between 1949 and 1954 in the Ore Mountains near Stollberg. The Querenbach Dam supplies Stollberg in Saxony and its surroundings with drinking water and provides flood protection. The water is extracted via a so-called extraction tower in the reservoir.

The Stollberg dam dams the water of the Querenbach and is therefore often referred to as the "Querenbach dam". The reservoir, built between 1949 and 1954, went into operation in 1954 and will therefore celebrate its 70th birthday in 2024. The catchment area of the dam, which contains extraordinarily clear water with visibility often reaching the bottom at a depth of 15 meters, is located in a sparsely populated forest area. The total catchment area covers 5.29 square kilometers and the average annual inflow is 2.18 million cubic meters. The reservoir has a total storage capacity of 1.129 million cubic meters and the capacity for raw water discharge is 0.97 million cubic meters per year. The water is used to supply drinking water to Stollberg and the neighboring communities. ...

Once around the dam is recommended, especially in the afternoons after pastry gluttony, the short variant with a length of approx. 3.5 km can be done by almost everyone.
