The Pöhl Dam near Plauen was created when another flood shook the Vogtland region in 1954. The solution: a reservoir. In 1960, the implementation began. Previously, at the bottom of the large lake stood a village, the old Pöhl. The inhabitants were housed in the surrounding towns. Finally, the Pöhl Dam emerged from a massive construction site with 23 concrete fields.
