Reservoirs flowed through Sosa dam

The Kleine Bockau is a right tributary of the Große Bockau in the Western Ore Mountains in the Free State of Saxony . According to the natural map of Saxony, the “Valley of the Little Bockau” represents its own microgeochore and is part of the “Eibenstocker Bergrücken” mesogeochore.

Surname

The name is derived from the Old Sorbian Bukova for beech water . In the Saxon miles sheets of 1791 the river is still called "Kleine Buckau". Neither the small nor the large Bockau flow through the municipality of Bockau ; this village is in a different valley further northeast.

course

The Kleine Bockau rises in the depression formerly called Auersberger Grund between Auersberg and Riesenberg at an altitude of about 850  m above sea level. NN and flows in a deep valley in a northeastern direction. It flows through a pewter soap base with many Raithalden as relics of the pewter soap. The water is dammed up by the Sosa dam. The Kleine Bockau used to flow to the Neudecker Bach from the east, this now flows directly into the dam. South of the “Pension Zimmeracher” the Kleine Bockau flows into the Große Bockau , the water of which flows into the Zwickauer Mulde at a height of about 480 m at the former Blauenthal train station . Below the dam, the bottom of Hell is deeply cut. On both sides of the stream, rocks rise up to a height of up to 25 meters.

The Auersberg houses stood not far from the source of the stream .

On the Kleine Bockau - like on the Große Bockau - wood was rafted.

Mining

The “Six Brothers Unity” mine, mentioned in 1748 as a hybrid mine, was located near the Kleine Bockau, of which a tunnel still existed in the 1960s. The tributaries were used for pewter soaping .

additional

In the past, the name "Kleine Bockau" was also used for the stream near Pockau , which is now called "Rote Pockau" .
