Talsperre Klingenberg, Reservoir and cultural heritage monument in Klingenberg, Germany.
The Talsperre Klingenberg features a curved gravity dam made of rubble masonry, with a distinctive crown structure at its center reaching 394 meters in elevation.
The reservoir began construction in 1908 as part of a flood protection strategy developed after severe flooding in 1897, opening for operations in 1914.
The structure was originally named Friedrich-August-Talsperre to honor the last Saxon king and was designed by architect Hans Poelzig during the German Empire period.
The reservoir supplies drinking water to Dresden and surrounding areas while providing flood protection and generating electrical power through its 850-kilowatt facility.
During the 2005-2013 renovation period, the reservoir was completely drained, requiring a new tunnel system to maintain water supply to Dresden.
