Hopfenbach near Zschauitz (Großenhain)

The Hopfenbach , formerly also Krebsbach , Beiersdorfer Bach , Lauterbach or Bindebach , is a flowing body of water in the Großenhainer Pflege , a landscape in the Saxon district of Meißen . The 22 kilometer long river runs through the area of ​​the communities Moritzburg , Ebersbach and Priestewitz as well as the city of Großenhain .

description

The current name of the river refers to the traditionally indigenous hops cultivation in the region , as it can still be found in the Priestewitz district of Piskowitz .

The Hopfenbach is a tributary of the Große Röder , a tributary of the Black Elster . The river has its source in the Moritzburg district of Steinbach in the so-called Friedewald in the north of the Moritzburg pond area.

Shortly after its source, the Hopfenbach feeds the Köckritzteich group , which belongs to the Moritzburg ponds and consists of the four ponds Köckritzteich, Silberteich, Furtteich and the Neuteich (near Steinbach) . The river then feeds other ponds along its course, such as the Kleiner Schönbergteich and the Naunhofer pond group. It passes several weirs and transverse structures, which can also be found at several former mill locations. These mills include - upstream - the hammer mill in Mülbitz , the mill in Zschauitz , the hop mill in Lenz , the mills in Döbritzchen and Dallwitz , the Gauschemühle in Altleis and the "Trepte mill" in Beiersdorf .

The river finally reaches the Nauleis dam , which is located between the towns of Nauleis and Hohndorf . This covers about 51 hectares and has a storage space of 1.27 million cubic meters. The dam was only built between 1988 and 1991 to the northwest of the town and was originally intended for the supply of industrial water to agriculture (irrigation). As a result of changed usage requirements after the fall of the Wall , the dam is now primarily used for flood protection, fishing and drainage regulation by increasing the low water level.

After passing the Nauleis dam , the Hopfenbach finally flows into the Röderneugraben near the Großenhain district of Zschieschen .

The Hopfenbachtal is a designated European FFH (fauna and flora habitat) - protected area in Saxony, which offers habitat for some rare animals and plants.
