The Kleine Pyra , formerly also known as the Kleine Bühra , is a water-rich right tributary of the Zwickauer Mulde in Saxony .
course
The Kleine Pyra rises in the area of the Muldenhammer district of Tannenbergsthal northeast of the Königshübel and near the main ridge of the Western Ore Mountains, which is rich in precipitation . The brook flows past Gottesberg and at the end of the village takes in the Teichhausbach flowing in from the left and originating in Mühlleithen . From now on it shares the valley with the B 283 . In the further course it takes on the Bodabach flowing in from the left , which rises at Schneckenstein .
Then the river passes the factory premises of the former artificial leather factory to the east and now flows straight through the center of Tannenbergsthal. At the level of the former school, the Kleine Pyra is dammed at a weir and part of the water is drained into a mill ditch, which, initially running parallel to the Kleine Pyra, increases in height opposite the course of the river and, after one kilometer, flows over a small waterfall into the Animal pond pours. The pond is also fed by the Thierbach, which rises below the Thierberg at a radium source . The water from the pond is used in the nearby sawmill to generate electricity. The pond also has a cross connection to the Kleiner Pyra, which flows past Jägersgrün into the Zwickauer Mulde.
Little Pyra Valley
The morphology of the valley is described as follows: " North facing Kerbsohlental , 80 to 120 meters deep, steep to medium-pendent, slightly winding". The predominant rock is coarse-grain tourmaline granite. There are several sloping moors. When it comes to land use in the valley, forests predominate with 85%, the agricultural area makes up 10%, and 5% is built on. The predominant soil is poor, blocky, stony and clay-sand podsol , which is interspersed with rubble , bog and slope gley .
According to the natural map of Saxony, the Pyratal forms the microgeochore "Valley of the Little Pyra" and is part of the mesogeochore "Eibenstocker Bergrücken".
Use of hydropower
In the information on sheet 219 of the Sächsische Meilenblätter - Berlin edition - the use of water power for the end of the 18th century becomes clear. A reservoir called “Pochteich” is already drawn in the upper reaches, the function of which was to continuously have water available for “tin washing and stamping mill” - both are shown below. Further downstream, “Glücksburg Stolln und Zeche” is named, and the water from the Pyra was certainly used there, as well as from the “Gottesberg Mühle” and the “Hammerwerk Tannenbergsthal” located below, which was later followed by the Vogtland artificial leather factory. On the lower reaches, almost in the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde, sheet 195 of the mile sheets shows the “lower hammer” as belonging to Tannenbergsthal. A ditch fed by the pyra led to this hammer mill and drove systems there with the power of its water.
environment
Up until 1989, the water quality of the river was considerably impaired by the sewage from the VEB Vogtländische imitation leather factory in Tannenbergsthal. The river has recovered since the company closed, so that brown trout and other fish have returned. The waters of the Kleine Pyra feed the Eibenstock dam , so their area is part of their protection zone.
additional
The name is interpreted as follows in “The Eastern Vogtland” in the series “ Values of German Homeland ”: It “probably belongs to Old Sorbian pyr = ash, heat”. This is the name "Aschenbrennerbach".
The river was used to transport the wood from the surrounding forests using rafts. There was the raft inspection of the Saxon elector for the Wilzsch and Mulden rafts with an electoral Saxon head supervisor and an electoral Saxon raft master , which were named in the first court and state calendar of Saxony of 1728 are listed. Albert Schiffner depicts a raft pond on the upper reaches of the upper course in his "Elevation Chart of the Kingdom of Saxony". After straightening in the 1930s, the Kleine Pyra between Tannenbergsthal and the Jägersgrün district lost its meander . In 1954 the Kleine Pyra in Tannenbergsthal caused damage through flooding after heavy rain.
The Little Pyra is not a tributary of the Great Pyra . This has a right tributary called "Kleine Pyra", which flows into the Große Pyra in Kohlanger south of Sachsengrund . In the Saxon miles sheets of 1791 this tributary of the Great Pyra was named "the Rothe Bühre".
