The dam was built from 1908 onwards near Klingenberg in the foothills of the Ore Mountains, based on an architectural design by Hans Poelzig. In 1914, the dam went into operation and was named after the last Saxon king: Friedrich-August-Talsperre. The impounded body of water is the Wilde Weißeritz. Its construction was part of a flood protection concept that was developed after the devastating flood of 1897 by the district administration of Dresden-Altstadt under the leadership of District Administrator and Dam Commissioner Arnold Streit. During construction, a standard-gauge industrial railway was built from Klingenberg-Colmnitz station to the construction site, which operated from 1911 to 1914. The Höhenweg trail now runs along its route over the Streichholzbrücke bridge. (Wikipedia)

The Klingenberg dam is a significant dam in the Osterzgebirge, built between 1908 and 1914. It impounds the Wilde Weißeritz into a lake approximately 3.5 km long and serves primarily for the drinking water supply of Dresden and parts of the surrounding area, as well as for flood protection. The view of the dam wall from the AP, which is located directly opposite the dam crest, is particularly impressive.
