The Saidenbach is a right tributary of the Flöha in the Eastern Ore Mountains in Saxony .
course
The stream rises on the Saidenberg south of the village of Obersaida . First it runs towards NNW and is dammed in Obersaida by the Obersaida pond . This artificial pond was created in the year 1728–1734 in order to supply the southern Freiberg area with impact water via the Obersaida artificial ditch and a subsequent extensive artificial ditch system, today's Revierwasserlaufanstalt Freiberg (RWA) . The Saidenbach flows through the pond, but it still gives off water to the RWA today. From here the Saidenbach flows almost parallel to the direction of the Ore Mountains in WSW direction through Middle Saida and Lower Saida . It is then dammed up by the Saidenbach drinking water reservoir built between 1929 and 1933 . About a kilometer behind the dam, it flows into the Flöha west of Rauenstein, a district of Pockau-Lengefeld .
particularities
In samples of metamorphic quartz - and feldspar -rich rocks that were collected at the Saidenbach Dam and other places near the Said stream, are in the late 1990s, including in small garnet - and zircon crystals, tiny, up to 30 microns large diamonds have been found. It is one of only two known occurrences of quartz-feldspar rocks worldwide with such so-called microdiamonds. The rock was named Saidenbachite after the place where it was found .
