Eschbach Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Eschbachtalsperre is a "pioneer" dam: It is the first drinking water dam in Germany and the oldest in North Rhine-Westphalia. Today it is used as an emergency supply for the city of Remscheid, for ecological management, as flood protection and to raise low water levels.

North Shore of the Eschbach Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

"... The Eschbach dam was built as the first drinking water dam in Germany. With its construction, the famous Aachen civil engineer Otto Intze created not only a pioneering work for dam construction, but also the first drinking water dam in Germany. Three years after the groundbreaking ceremony, construction was completed and the Eschbach dam was put into operation in 1892. From then on, it served as a model for countless other dams.
The Eschbachtalsperre is connected to the higher Neyetalsperre via a 15 km long pipeline, from which an additional discharge is possible in case of water scarcity. ... "

The Remscheid Wolffs Trail - Mission: Future Forest.
The approximately 1.5 km long circular trail at the dam provides insights into the work of the forestry administration.
The trail was named after the late head of the Remscheid Forestry Office, Markus Wolff. He implemented the principle of natural forest management with great passion.
