Hohlbauer Kunstgraben
The Hohlbauer Kunstgraben is a former mining facility in Johanngeorgenstadt , Erzgebirgskreis , Saxony . In its western course it is sometimes referred to as the Erzengler Kunstgraben .
It is an approx. 3.5 km long artificial ditch that comes from the Wildenthal forest near the Rehhübels ( "Hohlbauer Kunstgraben Start" ) and receives inflows from the Hohlbau-, Kranich- and Möckelseifen near the Lorenzweg . The Hohlbauer Graben emits its water together with the old and new Henneberger Graben and the Seegraben into the Katheriner Graben ( "Hohlbauer Kunstgraben Ende" ). The plant was built under the supervision of the Johanngeorgenstadt Mining Authority in the 18th century. The ditch supplied the urgently needed process water to the pits in this area, but was only poorly maintained during the First World War and was ultimately left to decay. Its remains can hardly be seen in the area today.
