Further information:
The Jubachtalsperre is a drinking water reservoir. Entering the shore area is prohibited!
The Jubachtalsperre was completed between 1904 and 1906 according to the plans of Aachen professor Otto Intze. The dam wall is made of quarry stone and was built as a gravity dam. The wall is 152 m long, has a crown width of 4.5 m and is 27.7 m high. The dam has a maximum reservoir volume of 1.05 million m³ and its largest possible surface area is 11.7 ha.
The dam was reinforced and sealed with a reinforced concrete sealing wall from 1990 to 1991. An inspection corridor was created and the drainage and measuring equipment was renewed.
Initially, the facility was operated by the Volme Water Association. Today, the Lüdenscheid Water Procurement Association operates the facility.
