Haspertalsperre

The Haspertalsperre reservoir spans across the district of Haspe, functioning as a primary water management system at an elevation of 308 meters above sea level.

Construction of the Haspertalsperre emerged from the necessity to address water supply requirements during the industrial development of North Rhine-Westphalia in the previous century.

The designation as an architectural heritage monument reflects the engineering methods and construction techniques that characterized water infrastructure development in Germany.

The reservoir serves multiple purposes, including flood control, drinking water supply, and industrial water management while supporting recreational activities in the surrounding area.

The dam structure incorporates specific design elements that enable it to maintain consistent water levels throughout seasonal changes while preserving the natural mountain landscape.
