The Polster Valley Wheel House lies in the Polster valley about three kilometres from Altenau in the Upper Harz region of Germany and is surrounded by a campsite. The wheel house was built in 1729 and provided power for the pumping station of the Polsterberg Pumphouse (Polsterberger Hubhaus) with two water wheels until the early 20th century.

Sperberhai Dyke
The Sperberhai Dyke is in fact an aqueduct which forms part of the Upper Harz Water Regale network of reservoirs, ditches, dams and tunnels in the Harz mountains of central Germany. It carries the water of the Dyke Ditch over the depression of the Sperberhai to the Clausthal plateau. The Sperberhai Dyke was built in 1732 - 34 in order to satisfy the rising demand for water power for the water wheels of the Clausthal mines. The water crossed the embankment in a channel along its crest.

Polsterberg Pumphouse
The Polsterberg Pumphouse is a pumping station above the Dyke Ditch in the Upper Harz in central Germany which is used today as a forest restaurant. As part of the Upper Harz Water Regale it was built in the 18th century and was used to lift the water needed in Clausthal for the mining industry from the Dyke Ditch (Dammgraben) to the level of the highest pond, the Hirschler Pond.

Dyke Ditch
The Dyke Ditch is the longest artificial ditch in the Upper Harz in central Germany. Its purpose was to collect surface runoff for the operation of the Upper Harz mining industry from precipitation-heavy regions a long way away (particularly from the Bruchberg and parts of the Brocken massif). It was laid in 1732 and continually extended eastwards until 1827. Its original length was about 25 km; this was successively shortened by water tunnels between 1820 and 1861 to around 19 km.
