The Rote Weißeritz is one of the two source rivers of the Weißeritz in Saxony . It rises near Zinnwald-Georgenfeld (city of Altenberg ) in the Eastern Ore Mountains and unites in Hainsberg (city of Freital ) with the Wild Weißeritz to form the "united" Weißeritz.
course
_Flu%C3%9Ftal_Rote_Wei%C3%9Feritz.jpg)
From the source of the river at the Altenberg reservoir (source rivers: Neugraben , Quergraben , Sandbach) to the middle course, the Rote Weißeritz flows through larger forest areas in a narrow and deeply deepened valley and the places Waldbärenburg , Kipsdorf , Schmiedeberg, Obercarsdorf and Ulberndorf before it reaches Dippoldiswalde . Below Dippoldiswalde, the river is dammed in the Malter reservoir, which was built between 1908 and 1913, for the production of process water , electricity generation and low water regulation . Decisive for the construction of the barrage was the flood protection after a flood in 1897. Below the Malter dam, the Rote Weißeritz flows through the Seifersdorfer Grund and from Seifersdorf finally the narrow and natural valley of the Rabenauer Grund before it merges with the Wild in Freital-Hainsberg Weißeritz united to the Weißeritz.
On the Roten Weißeritz there are also the places Schellerhau , Bärenfels , Naundorf , Paulsdorf , Malter , Seifersdorf, Spechtritz and Coßmannsdorf . It crosses the area of the communities Altenberg, Dippoldiswalde, Rabenau and Freital.

use
Numerous mills were built on the Rote Weißeritz that made use of the river's water power. Well-known mills on the river are the Schellermühle near Schellerhau, the Riedelmühle Waldbärenburg, the Dorfmühle Obercarsdorf, the Rathsmühle Dippoldiswalde, the Rabenauer Mühle and the Coßmannsdorfer Mühle . In addition, around 1900 a number of power plants were built on the Rote Weißeritz, there were power plants in Malter, Seifersdorf and Coßmannsdorf.
In June 1961, the world championships in white water racing and canoe slalom were held on the Roten Weißeritz, in the Rabenauer Grund from Seifersdorf to Freital . Sufficient water in the river was ensured by draining the Malter dam. The competitions saw 30,000 to 40,000 spectators.
The valley of the Roten Weißeritz is of particular importance for the traffic development of the Osterzgebirge . Today's federal road 170 was built as a royal Saxon state road in the 1840s. This uses the valley between Dippoldiswalde and Waldbärenburg to cross the mountains in the direction of Teplitz-Schönau and Prague, which was also European route 55 until 2006 . The narrow-gauge Weißeritztalbahn has been running between Hainsberg and Kipsdorf in the valley since 1882/83 .
Flood
A devastating flood in 1897 destroyed 320 houses in the valley and killed 19 people. In some cases, the river in the Rabenauer Grund had risen 140 times. The 2002 floods also caused great damage. The entire course of the Weißeritztalbahn was badly damaged and has only been completely rebuilt since June 2017. The neighboring towns and the federal highway 170 also suffered severe damage. As a consequence, the river bed was expanded and the Malter dam has not been completely filled since then. As a result, the 2013 flood caused only minor damage.
Landscape protection area
The landscape protection area "Tal der Roten Weißeritz" extends from the barrier wall of the Malter dam to Coßmannsdorf ( Freital ). It was placed under protection on July 4, 1974. It includes the Rabenauer Grund nature reserve , which makes up around 51% of the area.
