The Sosa Dam is a dam in the Free State of Saxony. It serves to supply drinking water to the western Ore Mountains and to provide flood protection. The dam was built between 1949 and 1952 in the Höllengrund valley south of Sosa, which has been part of the town of Eibenstock since 2011, in the Ore Mountains, and was finally put into operation in 1952.
