The Möllerteich , also Möller-Teich or Grauer Teich , is a reservoir near Straßberg (Harz) in the Lower Harz ( Saxony-Anhalt ). It is part of the Unterharzer pond and ditch system .
description
Nothing is known about the construction of the dam, which was built in an approx. 465 m high valley, but it can be assumed that, like the other ponds in this mining water management system, it is an earth dam with a core seal. The Rieschengraben is dammed . Drainage takes place via the southernmost tributary of the Büschengraben, which crosses the Schildelbrücher artificial moat just behind the pond . Rieschengraben and Schildelbrücher are part of the Silberhütte artificial moat .
The inflow is largely filled in today, the heavily silted up pond is fed from a tiny spring in the remainder. The pond is signposted as private water, a high seat was built on the dam , which is slowly falling into disrepair. In the days of the GDR the pond was fenced, today the fence has fallen into disrepair and most of it no longer exists.
Digging from the Möllerteich
An apparently nameless ditch, possibly a natural watercourse, drains the Möllerteich into another reservoir, which also damms the bush ditch and another unnamed stream.
history
After Georg Christoph von Utterrodt had the Schindelbruch artificial moat built, protective ponds were built at the points where the moat crossed streams. These are small ponds that have been provided with a contactor to regulate the water flow . The largest of these protective ponds was the predecessor of the Möllerteich.
Today's pond was built around 1745 under the direction of Christian Zacharias Koch . The pond is closely related to the Rieschengraben, which supplied the system with water from the Lude and Schmaler Lude area . The Möllerteich is the first pond after the water emerged from the Ludenrösche , which could only be completed in 1745. The Möllerteich is the last of the reservoirs built in the Straßberg area . The pond was used as an artificial pond until 1903, and then from 1904 to 1910 as the engine pond for the Silberhütte processing plant. Since then it has been falling into disrepair, but still supplies water to the Upper Kilian pond via another reservoir and the bush ditch .
