Hohenwarte Dam

The Hohenwarte Reservoir, or the Hohenwarte Dam, is a reservoir that was created in the 1930s by damming the Saale River using a dam located near the namesake Thuringian village of Hohenwarte. The curved gravity dam made of concrete was built from 1936 to 1942. It has a height of 75 m and a length of 412 m. During the construction of the dam, 250 people had to be relocated. The village of Preßwitz was flooded in the process.
With a storage capacity of 182 million cubic meters of water, this dam is the fourth largest in Germany. The water is impounded to a surface area of 7.3 square kilometers. The purpose of the reservoir is flood protection, supply of operational water, and electricity generation and storage through the Hohenwarte I pumped storage power plant. This plant has turbines with a capacity of 63 megawatts and is owned by Vattenfall Europe AG.
