Stauanlage Eiserbach, Dam plant in Simmerath, Germany
The Stauanlage Eiserbach features a 21-meter-high earth dam with a clay core and spans 235 meters across the Eiserbach tributary.
The dam construction, completed in 1959, formed part of the Rur Reservoir system to enhance water management and flood control in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The facility integrates engineering with environmental preservation, supporting regional water resources while maintaining natural spaces within the Eifel National Park.
The reservoir maintains a water surface level of 279.6 meters above sea level and contains 350,000 cubic meters of water for regulation purposes.
The dam's forebay has been transformed into Eiserbachsee natural swimming area, combining infrastructure requirements with recreational facilities.
