Rottauensee, Reservoir in Postmünster, Germany
The Rottauensee extends over 57 hectares with a dam structure reaching 11 meters in height and a crown length of 1100 meters.
The reservoir was constructed between 1968 and 1973 to prevent flood events on the Rott River that previously caused substantial damage to the region.
The lake shores include 20 hectares of biotope areas and 50 hectares of meadows, supporting the preservation of regional flora and fauna species.
The hydroelectric power plant at Rottauensee generates 300 kilowatts of power, producing 1.1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
The reservoir serves as a rest stop for migratory birds while maintaining a storage capacity of 12.8 million cubic meters at maximum water level.
