Sengbach Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

A hike from Schloss Burg, via the Diederich temple to the dam wall, is very easy to do and there is a lot to see. The hike can be extended by simply doing another lap around the dam itself.

Two years ago you could hardly see the Sengbachtalsperre from here. Due to the drought of the last 2 years, hundreds of trees had to be felled on this stretch. Unfortunately, this made it possible to have a wonderful view of the dam from above...

The barrier - the barrier structure

The dam in the south of Solingen is one of the oldest drinking water dams in Germany. It was inaugurated in 1903. In the meantime, it supplies all parts of the city of blades with the increasingly valuable water. The huge quarry stone barrier wall (43 meters high above the foundation level, 178 meters long) can hold around three million cubic meters of water.
