Heilenbecker Talsperre, Drinking water dam in Breckerfeld and Ennepetal, Germany.

The Heilenbecker Talsperre reservoir features a circular path of 2.4 kilometers surrounding its water surface and stone wall construction.

The construction of this water reservoir took place between 1894 and 1896, making it the oldest dam in South Westphalia.

The dam structure represents a notable example of late 19th-century German engineering, now protected as an architectural heritage monument.

The reservoir maintains a capacity of 0.45 million cubic meters of water and supplies drinking water to the local municipalities.

The dam wall reaches a height of 19.5 meters and includes water inflows from both Heilenbecke and Freebach streams through a small pre-retention basin.
