The Rungstockbach is a left tributary of the Flöha near Olbernhau in the Saxon Ore Mountains .
course
The brook rises at about 800 m near the summit of the Rabenberg from a muddy wet bile (groundwater outlet ). Here, in the red gneiss, there are other such seepage springs that supply water to the stream flowing to the northeast. After it encounters a harder gray gneiss clod running west-east with the elevations of Bone and Rungstock , it changes its direction and runs parallel to this ridge to the east. The Rungstock nature reserve extends to the right with its well-developed spruce - beech forest. From the right he picks up the young Rungstockbach (also called Verborgner Fluß on older maps ) and the Seidenbach . At its confluence, the stream breaks through the gray gneiss floe and turns to the north, where the Olbernhau district of Rungstock extends to it. After about 8.8 km with an altitude difference of about 350 m, it flows into the Flöha.
Surname
The name is derived from Middle High German ron = fallen tree trunk and stoc = tree stump. This later became Rungstock, a picture taken on a wagon .
Economic use
The Rungstockbach was used intensively economically in earlier times. There were numerous coal piles on the upper reaches that needed water for extinguishing. The last pile in the central Ore Mountains stood south of Jump and was not taken out of service until 1963.
The lower part of the Rungstock valley was a "valley of mills". In the 18th century there were a total of nine grinding and board mills . The most important, however, was a powder mill built in August 1815 for the production of black powder . There were explosions in 1835, 1850, 1865 and 1882. Due to the triumph of dynamite , production was stopped in 1886. Subsequently, wooden products were made there. Later it was an excursion restaurant and since 1959 a holiday home.
