The Kleine Röder or Wilde Röder is an approximately 20 km long watercourse in Saxony . It rises on the southwest slope of the Eierberg near Lichtenberg in the Bautzen district at an altitude of approx. 300 meters.
Below Leppersdorf , the stream changes its south-westerly direction of flow to the north, thus following the general roofing of the area. It flows through Kleindittmannsdorf with four former water mills. At the edge of the mighty Okrilla basin sands, the course swings in a westerly direction and forms the southern border of the Mittelheide north of Lomnitz . After the confluence of the mean water from Großnaundorf , the Kleine Röder flows south of the Laußnitzer Heide further west to Ottendorf-Okrilla . It finally joins the Große Röder from the right in the district of Cunnersdorf . Other tributaries are the Orla (source near Feldschlößchen ) from the south and the Lichtenberger Wasser from the north.
There were frequent floods in the catchment area of the Kleine Röder. Larger damage to varying degrees has been documented for the years 1958, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. A major flood occurred on August 12 and 13, 2002. This resulted in high damage, particularly in Leppersdorf and Ottendorf-Okrilla. In addition, the stilling basin of the Kleindittmannsdorf reservoir was destroyed.
