Talsperre Pirk, Reservoir at Vogtlandkreis, Germany
The Pirk Dam extends across 152 hectares with 10 kilometers of shoreline, making it the second largest reservoir in Saxony's Vogtland region.
Construction of the Pirk Dam began in 1935, with the official inauguration taking place on July 6, 1939, marking a significant advancement in regional infrastructure.
The reservoir stands as a protected cultural heritage monument, featuring a power station building that exemplifies the architectural characteristics of 1930s German engineering.
The dam serves multiple functions including industrial water supply, flood protection, water level regulation of the White Elster River, and electricity generation.
The facility includes a designated dog beach alongside two swimming areas, while maintaining strict restrictions against motorized watercraft on the reservoir.
