Ködeltalsperre

The Ködeltalsperre consists of a stone dam measuring 57 meters in height and 285 meters in length, creating a reservoir with a 10.7-kilometer shoreline.

The construction of the reservoir took place between 1968 and 1972, marking Bavaria's first drinking water dam with a total cost of 48 million Deutsche Mark.

The reservoir system supplies drinking water to the Upper Franconia region while generating hydroelectric power through three machine sets including a Francis turbine.

The reservoir maintains a storage capacity of 19.5 million cubic meters and delivers approximately 16 million cubic meters of raw water annually to the regional water supply.

The facility incorporates a heat pump system that utilizes generator waste heat to provide heating for the operational buildings at the dam site.
