The Feisnitz is a brook in the Bavarian Fichtelgebirge on the border between the Upper Palatinate district of Tirschenreuth and the Upper Franconian district of Wunsiedel in the Fichtelgebirge , which, after running almost 10 km on the main line, flows from the right into the lower Röslau at the Arzberg village of Elisenfels .

Surname

The name of the stream is of Slavic origin and means clear water . It was first mentioned in a document in 1419 as Festritz and later as Feustritz or Feussnitz . Its upper course is the Krebsbach .

geography

Upper course

The origin of the Feisnitz main line is the source of the Krebsbach

The Krebsbach rises in the Kohlwald on the southern slope of the Výhledy, known in German as Oberkunreuthberg, on the edge of a forest clearing in the town of Waldsassen at about 577  m above sea level. NHN and thus about one kilometer away from the 656  m nm high mountain peak that lies across the border in the Czech Republic . It runs consistently southwest, after the clearing it flows through some ponds in the forest, one of which is called "iron pond". Then it crosses under the state road 2178 from Waldsassen to Arzberg near the Grenzlandhütte and again feeds some forest ponds. At the edge of the clearing island of the Schirndinger hamlet Seedorf , it reaches the border with the district of Wunsiedel and flows on the southern edge of the Flurinsel around the place at about 535  m above sea level. NHN with the large fountain ditch coming from the right.

Name run

The brook named Feisnitz from there enters the Konnersreuth area next to two ponds and takes on the Ruderbach after about 0.6 km from the left and east. The direction of the Feisnitz is almost westerly there, which it has now maintained for a long time. The brook passes not far from the forest, municipal border to Arzberg and at the same time the district border in the north, sometimes also on it, the Konnersreuther Einöden Grünmühle, where the short Auerbach flows from the village Grün in the south, Lippertsmühle and Siegelmühle, which is on the left opposite the Hagenhaus of Arzberg at the Hagenhausweiher. This is also fed by a short stream from the right, which rises from the pitch well on the slope of the Sieben-Linden-Berg . The following Dollermühle gets its water from an outflow of the Hagenhausweiher and from a rather long inflow from the south, which begins west of Konnersreuth and not very far from the Arzberger village Preisdorf as a small pond chain. Slightly below the Mühlkanal return flow, the Feisnitz changes to the Arzberger area after the Brandmühle.

Then it continues to flow westwards at the southern foot of the Kohlberg over the pre -dam , dammed up one meter higher, into the main dam of the Feisnitz reservoir , the water level of which is at 503  m above sea level. NHN lies. The two reservoirs together are almost 1.5 km long and cover an area of ​​over 15 hectares. The dam only blocks the valley after a bend to the right. The Feisnitz leaves the reservoir under this in the narrower valley northwards and flows after two short meanders from the right and east at about 471  m above sea level. NHN downstream from Seußen and shortly before the small Arzberger village Elisenfels in the lower Röslau .

The Feisnitz is about 7.1 km long, the main strand from the source of the Krebsbach 9.7 km. On the longer stretch it has a mean bed gradient of almost 11 ‰. The Krebsbach is in the lowest and the Feisnitz in the western course from the Hagenhausweiher to the transition to the Arzberger area communal border, border of the districts Tirschenreuth and Wunsiedel and administrative district border between Upper Palatinate and Upper Franconia.

Catchment area

The Feisnitz drains 26.3 km² approximately west to the lower Röslau . The catchment area, more than half of which is forested in the north, has roughly the contour of a parallelogram with one long side each in the north-north-west and south-south-east and two short sides in the west and east.

From the mouth, the watershed in front of the Röslau, reinforced by the Feisnitz, runs northeast over the Kohlberg ( 633  m above sea level ) and the Sieben-Linden-Berg ( 643  m above sea level ) in the direction of the Oberkunreuthberg / Výhledy; a little before this begins on the other side the drainage area of ​​the Buchbrunnenbach ( Bučinský potok in Czech ) flowing north to the Eger in the Skalka dam . From the highest point of the catchment area on the top of the Oberkunreuthberg ( 656  m above sea level ) the watershed then descends southwards to around Kappel (approx. 600  m above sea level ) and separates it from the drainage area of ​​the Hundsbach flowing to the Wondreb in the east. At this chapel wasteland of Waldsassen, the borderline bends over to the other long side towards the west-south-west. On its first part to the Lehenbühl ( 619  m above sea level ) north of Konnersreuth, the Glasmühlbach drains to the Wondreb on the opposite side. Then on the second part over the Konnersreuther Kalvarienberg ( 593  m above sea level ) to the Preisberg ( 635  m above sea level ) near Preisdorf, beyond the Lausnitz, also competes with the Wondreb. On the Preisberg the border bends again to the right and, until shortly before the confluence, separates it from the catchment area of ​​the Kössein in the west, which also flows into the Röslau a little above the Feisnitz.

Tributaries

  • Krebsbach, upper reaches from the northeast; is regarded as part of the main strand, in its source area there is a Feisnitz spring with a name stone
  • Large well ditch, from the north-northwest;
  • Ruderbach, from the left and east just before the Grünmühle;
  • Auerbach, from the left and south shortly after the Grünmühle; from here western run.
  • Pass the Hagenhausweiher on the right bank by the Siegelmühle, which is fed from the north by the outflow of the Pechbrunnen
  • (Moat from the direction of Preisdorf ), from the left and south between Hagenhaus and Dollermühle
  • Runs through the 15 hectare Feisnitz reservoir ( 504/503  m above sea level ) near Haid

The mouth of the Feisnitz in the Röslau from the right and finally southeast between Seußen and Elisenfels at about 472  m above sea level. NHN .

use

The water in the upper reaches contains iron because of the iron ore-bearing rock near the Krebsbach spring; a little below this source the brook flows through the iron pond. A little above the Forchheim desert and a weir system were located. It is believed that in the Middle Ages iron was extracted from local ore deposits in kilns fired with wood from the surrounding forest .

Today Feisnitz drives mills, feeds some ponds and is used for fishing.

  2. ↑ a b c d In this version of the official BayernAtlas, which offers the search for water body names and allows the finds to be displayed as polygons, the Krebsbach section of the entire course ends at the tributary of the Großer Brunnenbach and the Feisnitz section begins exactly at this point. The Ruderbach flows here into the Feisnitz section that has already begun and earlier statements made erroneously here, that there is another upper course or source brook, cannot be confirmed.
