Idyllic bay at the Neyetalsperre

Highlight • Lake

The Neyetalsperre is located in the north of the city of Wipperfürth near the village of Neye in the Oberberg district. The dam was built by the city of Remscheid between 1905 and 1908 as a drinking water dam. Several stone tools from the Stone Age were found. The Neye stream is dammed. The dam is a curved gravity dam made of rubble masonry according to the Intze principle.

Neyebach Valley

Highlight • River

The Neye is a right tributary of the Wupper. It rises near the village of Dornbach in Halver, quickly forms the border with Wipperfürth and flows into the Wupper at Wipperfürth's main town. Shortly after the confluence with the second source arm, the Neye II, the river is dammed in the Neye dam.

View of the Neyetal Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since the water requirements of the city of Remscheid could no longer be completely covered by the neighboring Eschbach dam, the first plans for another dam were made as early as 1902. After work began in the Neyetal near Wipperfürth in 1907, the dam, which was constructed according to the Intze principle, was put into operation in the spring of 1909. With a capacity of 6 million m³, the Neyetalsperre supplied the city of Remscheid with drinking water until 2004. Today it remains as a replacement for emergencies and is otherwise used for flood protection or to raise low water levels. Since 2007 we have been responsible for the operational management of the Neyetalsperre, which is owned by EWR GmbH. The Neyetalsperre is connected to the Bever Dam, the Schevelingen Dam and the Mühlenteich Wasserfuhr via tunnels and together they form the Bever Block. It is connected to the Eschbachtalsperre by a 15 km long pipeline.
