The Fürwiggetalsperre between Meinerzhagen and Lüdenscheid dams six streams (Hülsebach, Drögenpütt, Fürwigge, Schürfelder Becke, Verse and Brinkbach). Until the construction of the new dam a few kilometers below it was called the Versetalsperre .
The gravity dam built from 1902 to 1904 under the direction of Otto Intze according to the Intze principle is the end of the highest situated dam in the Sauerland . It has a capacity of around 1.7 million cubic meters and is primarily used to supply drinking water. The operator is the Ruhrverband .
The restaurant above the dam has been closed since 2001.
Due to construction work on the dam from 2005 to 2007, the water was completely drained. There were u. a. a control passage built into the dam (by blasting) and the top of the wall renovated and provided with new railings.
