List of artificial trenches and florets of the Freiberg Revierwasserlaufanstalt
The artificial trenches and roses of the Freiberg Revierwasserlaufanstalt comprised a system over 80 km long at times. This was created between the middle of the 16th century and the second half of the 19th century in order to provide impact water for mining in the southern Freiberg district . The system is still largely in operation today as part of the state dam administration of Saxony and supplies the Chemnitz, Dresden and Freiberg areas with service and drinking water .
Lower water supply
The lower water supply supplied the southeastern area around Zug, in particular the old murder pit, bestowing luck, young tall birch and God's blessing.
