The Fischa is a right tributary of the Danube in eastern Lower Austria .
Run and landscape
The Fischa rises in the cadastral municipality of Haschendorf in the municipality of Ebenfurth . It drains the so-called Wöllersdorfer rubble cone , whereby the groundwater from deep springs in the Vienna basin collects in two trenches. This makes the Fischa a water-rich river despite its shortness. The only significant tributary, the Piesting , on its way to the confluence with the Fischa, is several times longer than the Fischa itself, but it has less water. The Fischa flows through the Steinfeld and flows into the Danube below Fischamend .
The moist soil around the river causes the appearance of numerous extensive meadows with individual trees or groups of trees. In its lower reaches, the Fischa is surrounded by swamps . Like the Schwechat , it has a dragged estuary , which means that it uses an old arm of the Danube on its last section.
Origin of the Fischa
Confluence with the Danube
About the name
Already in 1063 is at the Fischa - "iuxta flumen Fisek" of - King Henry IV. A diploma in favor of the Bishopric of Brixen issued. Not far from the Fischa there is the Warme Fischa , which flows from Bad Fischau through Wiener Neustadt and flows into the Leitha at Pottendorf . That is why the Fischa is also referred to as Fischa-Dagnitz to distinguish it , whereby the word part Dagnitz refers to the now no longer existing settlement Tagais in the area of Haschendorf.
Hydrography and water use
The water level and temperature are constant throughout the year, which makes them useful for industrial purposes. The important Marienthal spinning mill was located on the river. At Fischamend it has an average water volume of 7.5 cubic meters per second.
