Schwarzenbach Dam

The Schwarzenbach Dam (German: Schwarzenbachtalsperre) is a gravity dam near Forbach in the Northern Black Forest of Germany. It is the most important structure of the Rudolf-Fettweis-Werk's pumped storage power station.

​

The reservoir collects the water on the eastern slopes of the rainy main crest of the Northern Black Forest, below the mountains of Hornisgrinde, Mehliskopf and Badener Höhe.

The dam system provides load balancing in the energy supply. Its maximum output is 44 megawatts (59,000 hp).
