The Kleine Spree , in Upper Sorbian Mała Sprjewja , is an approximately 40 km long left branch of the Spree in Saxony . Your catchment area has an area of 273 km².
River course

The Kleine Spree lies entirely in the eastern part of the Bautzen district . It branches to the distributor weir between Klix and Spree meadow (municipality Großdubrau ) from the main run of the Spree to the left, then crossed to the northwest, the Oberlausitzer heath and pond region and the nascent Lusatian Lakeland and finally flows a few kilometers south of Spremberg in Spreewitz again the Spree, which is also called the Great Spree in the course of the inland delta .
Like the Great Spree, the lower reaches of the Kleiner Spree in the Lusatian Lakeland were relocated several times and used to drain the opencast mines and to support the flooding of the remaining lakes. This applies, among other things, to the Dreiweibern , Scheibe and Burghammer opencast mines as well as the Dreiweibern , Scheibe and Burghammer storages that were created from them and are connected to one another via the Kleine Spree . In this section, the water is affected by iron hydroxide ocher as a result of lignite mining and the rise in groundwater in the former opencast mines . In addition, the sulphate pollution is well above the drinking water limit.
Today's Kleine Spree presumably uses the original course of the Spree, while today's Große Spree merely represents the historical lower course of the Löbauer water . That would explain the clear and diverse characteristics of the Kleine Spree floodplain. In old maps, the names of the two arms are often reversed.
Between 1966 and 1973, the Kleine Spree was largely straightened between Spreewiese and Lohsa . However, parts of the old run are still preserved, u. a. at Kauppa and Milkel .
