Stausee Niederhausen

The Stausee Niederhausen reservoir extends across the Nahe River, creating a water surface approximately 120 meters in width at an elevation of 150 meters.

The construction of the reservoir began in the late 1920s when Wasserkraftwerke Niederhausen GmbH established a hydroelectric power station to support regional development.

The reservoir stands among other protected monuments in Niederhausen, including the Evangelical Church and Gut Hermannsberg, forming part of the regional heritage landscape.

The water body serves multiple functions, including irrigation for local agriculture, flood control management, and recreational activities for the surrounding communities.

The reservoir integrates with the local wine culture, as its waters reflect the terraced vineyards that characterize the Nahe region's agricultural heritage.
