In the years 1910/11 it was built as a wooden bridge, hence the name, and allowed the works railway on its 3.7 km journey between the station and the dam construction to cross the "Langen Grund". The demolition of the wooden bridge and new construction in reinforced concrete took place in 1924 as the works railway line was used for the road layout. The bridge was technically checked and completely overhauled in 1992.

The dam of the Klingenberg reservoir is an arched gravity dam made of rubble masonry according to the Intze principle. Remarkable about this listed dam is the striking crown structure in the middle. A public path leads across the dam. The reservoir has a pre-dam, whose closing structure is an earth dam, and two forebays. The Lehnmühle reservoir is also part of the system, which had the function of a pre-dam until its construction and is today primarily a controlled part of the drinking water supply and flood defense. The raw water is diverted to the Dresden-Coschütz waterworks via the Dorfhain and Tharandt hydroelectric power plants. At the foot of the dam are the waterworks and the Klingenberg hydroelectric power plant. The flood of the Wilde Weißeritz in 2002 caused damage (scouring), especially at the dam's spillway and the 150 m long cascade flood relief with its seven drop stages. It was only designed for a maximum flood of 86 cubic meters per second, but there were peak discharges of 160 m³/s.

Not so crowded and yet well-developed. Currently (Summer 2026) the dam wall is being renovated, so there is no water in it.

The dam was built from 1908 onwards near Klingenberg in the foothills of the Ore Mountains, based on an architectural design by Hans Poelzig. In 1914, the dam went into operation and was named after the last Saxon king: Friedrich-August-Talsperre. The impounded body of water is the Wilde Weißeritz. Its construction was part of a flood protection concept that was developed after the devastating flood of 1897 by the district administration of Dresden-Altstadt under the leadership of District Administrator and Dam Commissioner Arnold Streit. During construction, a standard-gauge industrial railway was built from Klingenberg-Colmnitz station to the construction site, which operated from 1911 to 1914. The Höhenweg trail now runs along its route over the Streichholzbrücke bridge. (Wikipedia)
