The Listertalsperre is a reservoir in the Olpe district and in the Märkisches Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

Geographical location

The Listertalsperre is located in the southern Sauerland between the cities of Attendorn , Drolshagen and Meinerzhagen . In addition to numerous nameless smaller tributaries, the lake is fed by the three large tributaries Lister, Beche and Herpeler Bach, where the Lister is the namesake of the dam.

history

The Listertalsperre was built from September 13, 1909 to October 2, 1912. The dam , built according to the Intze principle , dams the Lister River near Hunswinkel . The British air raid on the dam as part of Operation Chastise on the night of May 16-17, 1943 was unsuccessful.

Data

Today the Listertalsperre is a branch of the Biggetalsperre built in 1965 . It has a storage volume of 21.6 million cubic meters with a maximum water depth of 33.90 meters. In the Listerkraftwerk , around 4.6 million kWh of electricity are generated annually using a Kaplan turbine . The Lister dam is 4500 meters long and up to 400 meters wide, which results in a water surface of 169 hectares. The fish population is very diverse and ranges from eels to pikeperch . In addition to white fish, the most common fish are pike and vendace . But trout are also represented. The carp population has also grown recently .

Uses

In addition to generating electricity and raising the low water level in the Ruhr , the reservoir is used for recreational activities. A hiking and cycling path leads from the dam to Kalberschnacke. Swimming and water sports (including diving since 2010 ) are permitted. There are numerous campsites and holiday apartments around the Lister Reservoir.

Rehabilitation of the dam

From the middle of 2007 to the beginning of 2009 the dam was completely renovated. Among other things, the task was to repair cracks and joints in the masonry, to renew the roadway and railings and to repair the arches of the flood relief. For the duration of the work, the top of the wall, the parking lot at the dam and the toilet facility were closed to visitors. The renovation work, especially on the railings and arches, has changed the appearance of the dam permanently.

Places on the lake

Listertalsperre nature reserve

The Listertalsperre nature reserve is a 4.44 hectare nature reserve (NSG) at the inlet of the Lister into the dam. The NSG was designated in 2001 by the district council of the Märkischer Kreis with the landscape plan No. 6 Meinerzhagen . In order to maintain and secure the area where the Lister flows into the dam, the NSG was designated as a valuable breeding ground for water birds as well as the reed and floating leaf zone, which is important for vegetation. Larger stocks of water knotweed flood the water surface. The confluence area of ​​the dam is classified as an important breeding and resting place for water birds. Great crested grebes , coot and mallard breed regularly in the reserve . The NSG is an important refuge and stepping stone biotope, especially for water birds. There is a population of the critically endangered pond mussel . Fishing is prohibited in the NSG area during the bird breeding season from April 1st to June 30th.

The Biggesee and the Listersee with bank areas have been part of the Biggesee / Listersee landscape protection area with 738  hectares since 2013 .
