The picture records when the dam was built.

It’s possible that in the period 1938-42, slave labour would have played a part.

Ah ok thanks we were going to look into later.

There’s quite a bit about it. Clearly it’s a dam of some significance to the area:

Oker Dam - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Oker dam Schulenberg

www.oberharz.de

And the Harz in general. The region has a quasi mystical significance for the Germans, along with the local witches:

If you fancy going back and seeing more, there’s plenty of stuff for motorcyclists and non-motorcyclists on the internet.

If you’re headed further south pop into Stolberg.

Ex East German town

There is no prettier village in Germany for my money

Definitely worth a revisit.

I've mentioned the dead larch wastelands that stretch for miles and miles which we saw when we went there a couple of years ago. Caused by an increase of just adegree or two in the mean temperature allowing a beetle population to explode which destroys the larch. But I'm sure it'll be all bollox cos I read it here.

Cue a Monty Python sketch.

Very sad

We were wondering what had happened to them. We have seen loads in different areas we have visited.
