Linach-Talsperre, Vault column dam in Vöhrenbach, Germany
The Linach-Talsperre features thirteen arch-shaped vaults supported by twelve wall panels, creating a 143-meter-long dam that rises 25 meters above ground level.
Engineers Karl Kraut and Karl Kammüller supervised the construction of this reservoir between 1922 and 1925 to generate electricity from the Linach river.
The dam hosts the Reservoir festival, where international artists perform sound installations and visual displays across the structure's thirteen arches.
Visitors can access guided tours of the dam and power station through the Vöhrenbach municipal office, with tickets priced at 3 euros for adults.
This structure stands as the only vault column dam in Germany, incorporating a materials-saving construction method that was revolutionary for its time.
