The Gelobtbach (Czech: Klopotský potok ) is a left tributary of the Elbe . Almost its entire length is part of the state border between Germany and the Czech Republic .
history
The brook was mentioned for the first time as flies in the Clopir in 1456, already at that time it formed the border between the then Kingdom of Bohemia and the Electorate of Saxony . In the Treaty of Eger , the Bohemian-Saxon border was confirmed in 1459. In 1538, Duke George the Bearded received Ferdinand I , the Bohemian and German king, at the mouth of the water then known as Kleppenbach into the Elbe . The spelling changed several times in the following centuries, the forms of the name Klubenbach , Kloppenbach , Klippe and Klobtbach , Alfred Meiche still knows him in 1927 as Globtbach . The name probably comes from the Middle High German "Klobe", a name for a split piece of wood for catching birds.
During the Napoleonic Wars , the local population used the remote Gelobtbachtal to trade grain between Saxony and Bohemia, despite an officially imposed Austrian export ban on flour and grain. Several memorial stones with the inscriptions Korn Marcht 1812 and Mähl Marcht 1813 in the forest on the German side of the brook are evidence of this .
course
The stream rises on Czech territory southwest of the Großer Zschirnstein in the forest above the Elbe Valley in Bohemian Switzerland . The stream flows north for almost a kilometer until it meets the German-Czech border and from there it runs north-east. On the German side, a hiking trail accompanies the stream from about one kilometer before the mouth. The valley, which is already deeply cut in this area, extends to the banks of the Elbe, where the brook at the Gelobtbachmühle on the German side , an old board mill , crosses the Děčín – Dresden railway line and the Elbe cycle path and flows into the Elbe. Shortly before the mouth of the river, the stream for the water supply to the mill is dammed and flows into the mill pond in an artificially created waterfall.
natural reserve
Due to its rich vegetation, the lower section of the Gelobtbachtal is particularly valuable. Due to its diversity and structure, the underwater vegetation of the Gelobtbach is of supraregional importance within the FFH area Elbe Valley between Schöna and Mühlberg .
