"The large Linnicher Rur weir was built in 1875/76 according to the plans of the ingenious hydraulic engineer Professor Otto Ludwig Intze (1843 - 1904). It served to dam the Rur water just before the Linnicher Mühlenteich branch off, so that it had enough water to drive it even on dry summer days of the mills in Linnich and Brachelen.Today the weir is a striking monument of local and regional economic and technological history.
The weir had - further down the Rur - previous structures made of wooden poles, fascines and rock embankments, which were repeatedly damaged or washed away during floods and ice drifts. With the completion of the new weir, the mill pond and the adjacent businesses were protected against flood damage by locks.
The large Rur weir with a slight bend against the current is one of Professor Hintze's earliest works. He designed many dams and other spectacular engineering structures across Europe, such as the generation of electricity in the Art Nouveau power plant in Heimbach with water from the Urfttalsperre, which he also planned above the Rursee, which was created much later.
After being damaged in World War II, the weir was rebuilt to its present form."

Lake Barmen

Highlight • Lake

Dogs are not allowed on the beach, and the dog beach next to the beach was closed a few years ago, after too many dogs on the lake caused trouble.
