The Regis-Serbitz flood retention basin (HRB Regis-Serbitz) is located approx. 35 km south of Leipzig near Regis-Breitingen and Serbitz in the district of Leipzig ( Saxony ) and the district of Altenburger Land ( Thuringia ). It was put into operation in 1963 for flood protection . In the dry season, the storage space is also used for agriculture.

The Pleiße normally flows through the flood retention basin and is only dammed during floods. At the Pleiße there is a distribution structure with which the inflow is regulated. The water can then also be forwarded to the Borna storage basin, which is only separated from the Regis-Serbitz basin by a dam. Both pools are operated together.
The dam is an earth dam made of cohesive earth with a clay seal. A road leads over it. With its length of almost 7 km, the dam is one of the longest on earth (even if only including secondary dams; the main structure is only 2245 m long).
