dam

General

The barrier structure is a dam with an asphalt concrete outer seal. It is located around the Ibrabach kilometer 3.75 and is around 7.5 m high and 130 m long.

Dam break

On August 22, 1977 at 3:25 p.m. the dam on the lake broke in a storm. The flood storage content of 500,000 m³ of water poured in a tidal wave up to three meters high in the valley of Ibra and Aula, in particular through the villages of Reimboldshausen , Gershausen , Kirchheim , Kleba , Hattenbach and Niederaula to the Fulda .

Several fire brigades, the technical relief organization and other aid organizations were in action. Streets and cellars had to be cleaned of mud. Some cattle drowned, but humans were not harmed. The total damage was thirty million DM .

The railway line of the Knüllwaldbahn near Kirchheim was undermined and damaged by the dam breach in the Ibratal . The section between Niederaula and Oberaula was then permanently shut down.

The fire station of the Gershausen volunteer fire brigade was also destroyed by the tidal wave; it was replaced by a new building in 1980. The dam was rebuilt in 1979.

Seepark Kirchheim

Two years after the dam was built, a holiday complex with a hotel, holiday village and campsite was opened on the north-western bank under the name “Seepark Kirchheim”. The bathing lake has good water quality. As Seepark Kirchheim , the lake is known as a bathing and recreational lake. On the lake, water skiing is operated with the help of a permanently installed system .
