Söse Dam, Embankment dam in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The Söse Dam stretches 485 meters across the Harz mountains, reaching a height of 56 meters with a water storage capacity of 26 million cubic meters.
The construction of Söse Dam was completed in 1931 by Harzwasserwerke, marking the first modern reservoir complex in the Harz region at a cost of 14.7 million Reichsmarks.
The dam and its reservoir support regional development through water supply infrastructure, connecting communities from Hildesheim to Bremen through an extensive pipeline network.
Visitors can explore the 9-kilometer circular path around the reservoir while the dam continues its primary functions of flood prevention and hydroelectric power generation.
The dam system includes a specialized pre-dam structure measuring 200 meters in length that functions as a sediment trap for the main reservoir.
