Hochwasserrückhaltebecken Haintal, Detention basin in Heidenheim an der Brenz, Germany.
The Haintal detention basin features a 14.9-meter-high dam structure capable of holding 570,300 cubic meters of water in Baden-Württemberg.
Following the major flood of August 29, 1968, the dam was constructed to protect the Voith residential area and industrial zones in the Brenz valley.
The Haintal detention basin lies within the karst landscape of the Swabian Alb, integrating water management with regional geological features.
The Wedel-Brenz Water Association maintains the facility, conducting regular inspections to ensure proper functioning of the flood control system.
The Haintal stream, stretching 3.23 kilometers from Oggenhausen, remains dry most of the time and flows into the covered Brenz at Friedrich-Voith School.
