The Griesweiher is a smaller pond on the district of Hassel in the Saarpfalz district .
location
The pond is located in the district of Hassel southeast of the village on the road 111 between Hassel and Niederwürzbach . Its water comes from the Stockweiherbach and some springs in the middle of the pond.
Usage history
The Griesweiher was created artificially. In 1564, the geographer Tilemann Stella describes the three ponds on the Stockweiherbach from bottom to top in his description and map of the Zweibrücken and Kirkel offices as follows:
" Albert's Cammerschreiber's wagk is 200 steps long and 50 wide ... The Kries weyer is 400 steps long and 50 wide ... The naw weyer is 260 steps long and 50 wide "
Stella's map shows the Griesweiher as the middle of the three ponds on the Stockweiherbach. The two ponds immediately adjoining above and below have passed.
The pond used to be used as a cattle trough and extinguishing water pond . It is one of the oldest standing bodies of water in the Saar-Palatinate district. In 1826 a mill on the Griesweiher is reported. It consisted of residential, grinding, oil and cutting buildings. Today the remains of the outlet of the Mühlenbach can still be seen. After being covered after the Second World War, it served as a sewage pond until a sewage treatment plant was built. It is currently used by ASV Hassel as a club water.
fauna
The Griesweiher is a habitat for many native animals. Fish from eels to pikeperch , crabs and pond clams are back in the water . In addition, the bird world has spread very much. Wild ducks, coots , moorhens , herons and the rare kingfisher have again found a home here.
