a very nice corner

The Cranzahl Dam was built between 1949 and 1952 near Sehmatal-Cranzahl and Bärenstein in the Ore Mountains to supply drinking water to Annaberg-Buchholz and the surrounding area. It was later expanded and renovated. Along with the Sosa Dam, it was one of the two major dam construction projects of the young GDR. Reflecting the spirit of the times, it was named the "Dam of Friendship" as a central youth project of the Free German Youth (FDJ). A memorial stone commemorates this. Many hiking trails lead through this area up to the Bärenstein, offering fantastic views of the Ore Mountains.

great, always worth a trip

Construction of the Cranzahl dam began in 1949 and was one of the first projects of the GDR's reconstruction years. Construction work was completed within just three years. The dam consists of an earthen dam with a clay apron as an internal seal. The approximately 28-hectare reservoir supplies raw water for the drinking water supply of the towns of Annaberg-Buchholz, Oberwiesenthal and surrounding areas and also serves as flood protection.

The memorial commemorates the construction of the dam between 1949 and 1952. It was one of two major dam construction projects in the young GDR. In line with the zeitgeist of the time, it was considered the central youth object of the FDJ, the socialist youth organization of the GDR. This is also where the naming comes from "Barrage of Friendship".

The Cranzahl Reservoir is located at the foot of the Bärenstein mountain. Construction of the Cranzahl Reservoir began in 1949. It is a product of the GDR's early years and one of two reservoir projects undertaken by the still-young state. Just like the second project, the Sosa Reservoir, the party and state leadership relied on the commitment of the Free German Youth (FDJ) and entrusted them with the construction work. As a result, the project was named the "Reservoir of Friendship." Construction was completed in just three years. The reservoir has an earthen dam with a clay lining as its internal seal. It is fed by the Lampertsbach and Moritzbach streams. These two waterways merge to form the Lampertsbach shortly before entering the reservoir. Additionally, the more than seven-kilometer-long "Hanggraben" (slope ditch) provides further water to the reservoir. This ditch receives water from the Sehma River, which originates near the Fichtelberg mountain, and also feeds it into the Lampertsbach. The reservoir, covering approximately 28 hectares, provides raw water for the drinking water supply of the towns of Annaberg-Buchholz and Oberwiesenthal and their surrounding areas. The dam also serves as flood protection. (https://www.wasserwirtschaft.sachsen.de/TS_Cranzahl.html)
