The Loquitz is a 33 km long tributary of the Saale in Bavaria and Thuringia .
Origin of name
The origin of the name has not been clarified with absolute certainty. The name is probably derived from the Slavic L u kavica . The Loquitz would then be the Wiesenbach. In this case, the Germanization would have to have taken place relatively late. The earlier existence of a pond (Slav. Lokva ) is also possible . However, this is questionable because other places of the same name such as Lockwitz or the Lockwitzbach are occupied by a u.
geography
course
It rises at the transition between the Thuringian Slate Mountains and the Franconian Forest , about 630 meters above sea level below the slate town of Lehesten , not far from the Rennsteig in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district . It then flows through a narrow, deep valley in a northerly direction, in which the B85 and the Frankenwaldbahn Saalfeld - Kronach also run. On the Bavarian side, Ludwigsstadt is the first larger town after the source. Below Ludwigsstadt, the Loquitz winds in an S-bend, past the Lauenstein Castle and the Thüringer Warte over the border to Thuringia. There is the place Probstzella with the former border station and the house of the people . Now it flows on through the wooded Thuringian slate mountains in a gorge-like valley before it takes in its only major tributary, the Sormitz , from the right at Hockeroda . About two kilometers north of Hockeroda, in Eichicht below Eichicht Castle , the Loquitz falls on the left into the Saale at about 230 meters above sea level.
500 m before the confluence with the Saale, water for the Eichichter Loquitzmühle is taken from a ditch . The ditch flows into the Saale 70 m above the Loquitz estuary.
