The Libverdský potok in Lázně Libverda

The Libverdský potok (German Liebwerder Bach ) is a right tributary of the Smědá ( Wittig ) in the Czech Republic .

course

The Libverdský potok rises in the Jizera Mountains below the Hubertka ( Hubertusbaude ). The brook flows in a south-westerly direction and forms a gentle valley, which is bordered in the north by Svinský vrch ( Sauberg , 756 m) and Závorník ( Riegelberg , 695 m), and in which the spa town of Lázně Libverda is located. West of Lázně Libverda, the brook on Dubový vrch ( Eichberg , 467 m) feeds the 0.823 hectare pond Lázeňská plovárna or Lázeňský rybník and then changes its direction to the south. On its lower course along the cadastral border between Hejnice and Raspenava , the stream is bridged by the Raspenava – Bílý Potok pod Smrkem railway line.

After four kilometers, the Libverdský potok flows into the Smědá opposite the Na Chatkách hill (465 m) in Lužec .

Medicinal springs

The existence of the mineral spring called Bierwasser or Bierborn in the Libverdský potok valley has been known since the end of the 14th century . In the 15th century, pilgrims from Lusatia who visited the Haindorf Marian pilgrimage made the healing power of the Liebwerder God's water, which was initially only put in a well with a hollow linden tree, publicized nationwide. In 1583, Elector August von Sachsen had several barrels of Liebwerder water sent to him. Ten years later, Paul Luther examined the Liebwerder fountain. In the Stirpium et fossilium Silesiae catalogus published in 1600, the Hirschberg doctor Caspar Schwenckfeld praised the lovely mineral water as having excellent effects . Albrecht von Waldstein ordered the healing water to cure his syphilis. Due to the Thirty Years War, however, the medicinal water was forgotten again.

In the second half of the 18th century, Christian Philipp Graf von Clam-Gallas had the well cleaned, redesigned and examined by the Prague doctor Joseph Heinrich Bauer. In 1784 a description of the Gotteswasser - Fountain by Johann Mayer appeared. The mineral water was bottled and sold in Prague as Chabeso . In 1785, the steel well, a new strong and iron-rich spring was opened up. Christian Philipp von Clam-Gallas had a small stone well house built over the water of God . The Gotteswasserbrunnen was later named after the founder of the spa Christiansbrunnen and the steel fountain was named Marienbrunnen . After the Christian fountain was silted up during a flood in 1794, it was filled in. After the spa doctor Franz Ambrosius Reuss had confirmed the healing power of water in a chemical analysis in 1810, Christian Christoph Graf von Clam-Gallas had two bathing houses for men and women and spa houses built, as well as gardens and avenues. Between 1786 and 1818, in the immediate vicinity, with the Josephinenbrunnen, Wilhelmsbrunnen, Eduardbrunnen, Bierborn and Hubertusbrunnen, further healing springs were developed and drinking pavilions were built. The water of the sourlings were only used for drinking. The most extensive source - the Marienbrunnen - was used both for drinking and bathing. In 1836 Liebwerda received the status of a spa. In 1840 Josef Plummert was appointed the first spa doctor. In 1847 a two-wing colonnade was built that enclosed two sides of the square around the fountain. With the wells Kyselka and Nový vrt , two new healing springs were developed in 1952.
