The Steinbachtal Dam is a dam in the city of Euskirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia south of Euskirchen-Kirchheim.
The dam was built due to pressure from the Euskirchen cloth industry, who by the late 1920s was no longer able to meet its water needs from the natural streams in the area. Problems included the water quality, which was heavily polluted by waste from the Mechernich lead mining industry. Additionally, the amount of water available was no longer sufficient to drive the turbines for hydroelectric power. The Steinbach Reservoir Association was founded in 1933 to carry out the construction and ongoing operation of the dam. Construction work began in February 1934 and finished in 1936. A 16km cast-iron pipeline, was built to transport the water to the town of Euskirchen and Kuchenheim.
