Water supply via the Morávka-Žermanice canal to stabilize the water level

The Lučina (German Lutschina , also Lucina , Luczina , Holzina , Polish Łucyna ) is a right tributary of the Ostrawice in the Czech Republic .

The linguistic border between the Lachish and Teschen dialects ran more or less along the upper and middle course of the river . This was reflected in the Silesian songs of the Czech poet Petr Bezruč , who opted for the name Lučina in place of the Lucina , which was most often used at the time , as well as the Polish poet from the Olsa region Wiesław Adam Berger (1926–1998) in the poem Most nad Łucyną (Die Bridge over the Łucyna). In 1938/39, the Olsa area was annexed by Poland in violation of international law, not as part of the Munich Agreement , but at that time the river became the Polish border from Vojkovice to Horní Bludovice .

course

The Lučina rises in the municipality Dobratice south of the settlement of America on the northern slope of Prašivá (843 m) in the Moravian-Silesian Beskid and flows north-west through the 1962 put into operation Žermanice Dam at Havířov over. In the course of the construction of the dam, the Morávka-Žermanice canal, a supply canal from the Morávka, was created, which at Vojkovice feeds a larger amount of water into the Lučina stream, which is arid on its upper reaches. Below the town of Havířov, the river meanders and turns to the west, parallel to the main road and railway line to Ostrava . In the vicinity of the Nová huť steelworks , the river bed changes its course to the northwest and flows into the Ostrawitza after 25 kilometers at the foot of the Silesian Ostrava Castle in Slezská Ostrava .

River name

The current name Lučina was first created in 1956 in connection with the name of the newly built village Lučina as a result of the construction of the Žermanice dam . Previously, the river below Šenov was called Lucina , on its upper reaches Ribia or Ribnia and between Domaslavice and Bludovice as Holzina or Holczina .
