Krausebauden dam
The Krausebauden dam ( Labská přehrada in Czech ) was built from 1911 to 1916, according to other sources from 1910 to 1914 near Špindlerův Mlýn ( Spindleruv Mlyn ) in the Giant Mountains for flood protection by the company Reidlich & Berger.
Since the floods in the Bohemian Basin caused by the July floods of 1897, the construction of dams to hold back floods on the upper Elbe has been considered necessary. One year after the construction of the Les Království dam in the Kingdom Forest, work on dam construction began in Krausebauden.
The reservoir, the first (uppermost) damming of the Elbe , contains according to various sources 2.59, 3.5 or 4 million m³ of water. The top of the wall is 694 m above sea level. NN. The gravity dam is 41.5 to 43 m high, 153 m long and has features of the Intze principle . How far it corresponds to this type is not known.
The dam was originally named after the nearby district "Krausebauden" of Spindleruv Mlyn. Today it bears the Czech name Labská přehrada (Elbe dam).
In 1997 so much water accumulated during a flood that the dam overflowed and the water flowed over the top of the wall.
