Together with the Horstsee and the Göttwitzsee, it is part of the large Wermsdorf ponds and is used primarily for intensive fish farming. The dam is still very young. It was only built between 1981 and 1984. It was built to increase the usable pond area for fish farming and to protect the Döllnitz valley from flooding. With its 6.6 meter high and 360 meter long earth dam, it dams the Döllnitz. The dammed water creates a lake of almost 83 hectares with a capacity of 2.9 million cubic meters of water.

Together with the Döllnitzsee and Göttwitzsee dams, it is part of the large Wermsdorf ponds. The Horstsee is the oldest of these facilities. The name of the dam comes from a striking island in the middle of the pond, which was previously called "Horst". Even today, the Horstsee is mainly used for fishing. It was created as a fish pond in 1500 and has been state-owned since 1580. The dam has two earthen dams. The Saubach, a second order water body, is dammed. The dam's storage volume is around 1.4 million cubic meters. Source:https://www.wasserwirtschaft.sachsen.de/TS_Horstsee.html
