The Maltengraben , also Maltegraben , is a stream in the southeast of Dresden . The Maltengraben only carries water episodically.
course
The course of the river south of the Děčín – Dresden-Neustadt railway line, designed as a high dam, is already shown in maps from the 18th century.
The Maltengraben comes from the flat and only about 1 km long valley known as Malte or Maltental . Its headwaters are near the southernmost point of Dresden on the border with Dohna , Heidenau and Kreischa, immediately northeast of the Heidenau junction on the A17 . It first flows northeast in the Lockwitz district and then crosses to Luga . The upper course in the area of the wooded Maltengrund is naturally shaped. From the end of the valley, the Maltengraben flows straight and canalized through the Elbe valley . First he crosses under Dohnaer Strasse. Due to the high elevation of the discharge profile in sections, the Maltengraben has a natural catchment area only south of Dohnaer Straße. It continues to cross state road 172 and then runs parallel to Krebser Strasse just under 100 m west of it. Then it turns 90 ° to the east at the northern end of Großluga just before Lugaer Straße and flows past allotment gardens and fields. After 1 km it reaches Heidenauer Strasse and flows around the main Dresden-Süd substation in an easterly direction. To the northwest of the Dresden- Zschachwitz S-Bahn stop , it will pass under the Děčín – Dresden-Neustadt line . From here it flows to the northeast and flows into Sporbitz at the level of the street Am Lockwitzbach in the left tributary of the same name of the Elbe . Overall, the Maltengraben is a good 4 km long.
Flood
The Maltengraben is one of the Dresden waters where floods lead to extensive flooding. During the floods in 2002 , neighboring properties, fields and the areas near the railway underpass were flooded. Even after smaller and locally limited heavy rain , residential properties in Luga were repeatedly flooded. For this reason, from the end of 2005 a retention basin costing 281,000 euros was built at the exit of the Maltental valley, and the ditch was deepened and expanded in a natural way.
The Alte Landstrasse and thus the Dresden-Teplitzer Poststrasse bridges the Maltengraben directly below this flood retention basin. Margrave Wilhelm I had this bridge destroyed in the course of the Dohna feud in 1402 so that traffic on this important route no longer runs via Dohna but via Pirna , which was only reversed a long time later.
The Maltenstrasse in Luga , the motorway slip road An der Malte in Lockwitz and the street Am Lugaer Graben in Sporbitz are named after the Maltengraben or its valley .
