Diemelsee, Reservoir in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The Diemelsee spans 1.65 square kilometers across Waldeck-Frankenberg and Hochsauerlandkreis districts, storing 19.9 million cubic meters of water at 378 meters elevation.
Construction of the Diemelsee dam started in 1912 and continued through 1923, marking a substantial advancement in regional water management infrastructure.
The reservoir lies within the traditional border region between the historical territories of the Duchy of Saxony and the Duchy of Franconia.
The Federal Waterway and Navigation Authority manages the reservoir, which generates 1.04 megawatts of power while supporting water regulation in the Weser catchment area.
The Diemelsee features two distinct arms: the Diemel extending 4 kilometers and the Itter stretching 3.1 kilometers, creating multiple water sections for activities.
