The Erzengler Teich , also spelled Erzengler-Teich and Erzenglerteich , colloquially: Erzengler , is a reservoir of the Freiberg Revierwasserlaufanstalt (RWA) near Brand-Erbisdorf in Saxony . It is connected to other RWA ponds by artificial trenches and roses . The Rothbach pond is very close by . Today the Erzengler pond is used as a service water storage tank, as a natural swimming pool and, with its surrounding area, as a recreational area. The dammed body of water is the Münzbach .

history

The pond was created in the 16th century by the city of Freiberg in the lower Freiwald as a reservoir for water supply for the municipal mills in the Münzbach and for fishing. A first use for the water supply can be proven in 1568 in a comparison between the council of Freiberg and the unions on the Mordgrübner Zug because of the transfer of the city ponds in the Freiwald.

A delivery of impact water to the mining industry took place later only in dry periods by agreement with the council pond tenants. Since the end of the 18th century, the heads of Beschert Glück Fundgrube behind the Drei Kreuzes have tried in vain to lease the Erzengler Pond together with the other three Ratswaldteich from the Freiberg Council. The pit lacked impact water to cope with the strong water inflows caused by the faucet of the springs at the Rotvorwerk.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Stolln and Röschen administration resumed negotiations with the city about leasing the four forest ponds, and in 1841 they were finally able to lease the Erzengler pond as a mining pond. The other three forest ponds located above were drained by this time and already planted with forest. Because of the damage to the vegetation caused by the water drained from the Kohlbachgraben into the pond during flood times , the city had the forest gates walled up at the artificial moat and the three pond dams pierced in the 1840s. As a result of the changed social conditions, the pond was sold to the Stolln and Röschen administration in 1848.

After the mining industry in Freiberg was discontinued at the beginning of the 20th century, the pond was no longer needed as an impact water reservoir. In 1931 an outdoor pool opened. Because of its location, it is also known as the Erzengler forest pool .

dam

The barrier structure is an earth dam with a clay core and a stone layer on the water side ( Tarras wall ). The Erzengler pond is a dam .

Outside the water area, which is demarcated by buoys and released for bathing, is a rental facility with rowing boats and pedal boats . In addition, the surrounding free forest offers further opportunities for local recreation.
