The Pochebach , also called the Poche , is a right-hand tributary of the central Mandau with a length of approx. 7 km in the municipality of Großschönau in the east Saxon district of Görlitz .
description
The brook arises at the Friedrichssteinen in the Jonsdorf rock town in the Zittau Mountains from several spring brooks that flow together in the Mönchsloch near the Nonnenfelsen . The Pochebach is then dammed in the gondola pond and flows east of the Buchberg through Neu-Jonsdorf .
His another run leads west of the Poche mountain ( 465 m above sea level. NN ) and the pigeons barn mountains ( 422 m above sea level. NN ) natural through wet meadows and fens at the guest house hunters grove and the two Poche ponds over after Großschönau where the railway line Mittelherwigsdorf-Varnsdorf-Eibau the valley crossed on the 97 m long Pochebach viaduct. In Großschönau there were two factories on the Pochebach and the Gasthof Stern on the road to Zittau, the latter and the former glass silk weaving mill behind it were demolished in 2010.
Shortly before the confluence, the district road 8655 leads to Hainewalde on a listed quarry stone bridge with wooden supports over the Pochebach. The brook flows into the Mandau opposite the Hofeberg in Großschönau - near the border with Hainewalde .
Mills and factories
The name of the brook probably derives from a stamp mill , in the place of which the Bertsdorfer Brettmühle was built in the 16th century . The mill, located at the foot of the Pocheberg at the confluence of the Hirschbörnelwasser, existed at least until 1795.
The Pochemühle with two grinding aisles was built near Großschönau in 1828 . The milling operation was short-lived, and in the 1850s it was converted into a weaving mill. Fiberglass products were later made. In 2010 the glass silk factory was demolished.
In 1856, the Großschönau entrepreneur Christian Friedrich Fabian founded the first Großschönau factory in the remote meadows on the Poche east of the Goldfabianteich. The first mechanical loom in Großschönau went into operation in 1857 in the Pochefabrik , later called the Alte Fabianfabrik , two and a half kilometers south of the former Pochemühle . In 1862 Fabian at the Jägerwäldchen had the Pocheteich enlarged for a regulated water supply for the power plants of his factory at Saalborn . The ruin of the pouch factory was demolished in the 2000s.
Flood
On August 7, 2010, heavy rainfall in Großschönau flooded buildings and properties on the Pochebach, and a barn collapsed.
