Lower Harz water shelf
The ponds of the Unterharzer Wasserregal are around 20 smaller and larger reservoirs . Most of them were created around the beginning of the 17th century between Oberer Lude , Großem Auerberg , Straßberg , Neudorf and Silberhütte . Some ponds are classified as dams . With the Gräfiggründer pond, the second oldest reservoir in Germany is also part of the system.

The Elbingstalteich pond, which is also used by the Straßberger Pochwerke but is located in Anhalt-Bernburg, lies, unlike the ponds connected by Silberhütter Kunstgraben , on the left side of the Selke and is usually not included in the Lower Harz water shelf. This also applies to the small pond of arts in Hellergrund , whose water drove pumps in the pear tree via field rods .
