The Vippachedelhausen dam near Sömmerda and Weimar in Thuringia was built in 1971 as an agricultural storage facility. The reservoir holds around 2 million m³ of water. Today the dam belongs to the Thuringian long-distance water supply and is used for flood protection and industrial water supply. The Wolfsbach and the Ellbach are dammed.
The barrier structure is a homogeneous earth dam . It is provided with a protective layer of concrete on the water side. An approximately 3 km long circular path leads around the reservoir.
