Hochplauensches water house
The Hochplauensche Wasserhaus was a building in Plauen b. Dresden for collecting and cleaning the water from the mill ditch of the Bienertmühle for forwarding by means of wooden tubes (pipes) as so-called tube water to the city of Dresden . In addition to the Hochplauen Röhrwasser, there was also the Mittel- and Niederplauensche Röhrwasser, which was taken from the Weißeritzmühlgraben at the former fulling mill and passed on.
The first water was poured into their convent by Franciscans in the 15th century . Under Duke Moritz von Sachsen , the fortress builder Caspar Voigt von Wierandt built a wooden tube passage (Hochplauensche Wasserleitung) from Plauen to the Altmarkt in Dresden in 1542 . In 1589 there were already 22 tube trips.
A special tube run, the so-called "iron Zwingerröhre", was built in 1720 on the orders of Elector Friedrich August I as a branch of the Hochplauen tube run to supply the water features in the Zwinger .
The Hochplauensche water house was changed and renewed several times, the last renovation took place in 1862, when three water catches were provided with appropriate shut-off and filter technology. The water house was still in use in the 20th century, but fell into disrepair in the 1980s and was demolished.
Investigations by WIMAD eV Dresden rediscovered the foundations that were still there.
