The Schütterlehnenquelle (older also Schütterquelle ) is a spring in the area of the Rax in Lower Austria , which was taken for the first Viennese high spring water pipeline .

location

The source is located directly in Hinternaßwald am Nassbach , in the municipality of Schwarzau im Gebirge , between the Scheibwald wall , the northwestern abyss of the Rax massif, and the Kudel wall of the Sonnleitstein .

history

The Schütterlehnen spring is located in the Naßwald - Wasseralm area , a source area that was planned from the beginning as the main source of the high spring pipeline built in the course of the 1860s and opened in 1873. However, through the Reich Water Act of 1869 and the Lower Austrian State Water Act of 1870, the legal position of all those lying below, plant owners and municipalities, was significantly improved. Therefore, the City of Vienna had to fight their respective water law applications through all instances up to the Administrative Court. The spring was only expanded in 1894 and connected to the water supply system in autumn 1895. But it also serves to supply Hinternasswald with water.

The initially good pouring of the spring soon subsided. Therefore, in 1945 an additional well was drilled to a depth of 7 m.

Hydrology, construction and water protection

The source is part of a fault that strikes northeast through the Nassbachtal over the Kuhschneeberg to Klostertaler Gscheid , and limits the Wetterstein limestone of the Rax-Schneeberg group to the north. (This disorder also includes Singerin's fox fun source ). The hydrogeological barrier layer of the Werfen formation , which limits the Wetterstein limestone of the Rax-Schneeberg group to the west and south, also has an effect here . The Schütterlehnen spring rises from the limestone rubble of the Kudelmauer. Here, however, the Nassbach broke through the water-bearing clay layer and bite into another spring horizon below, so that the course below the spring was significantly richer in water than above. Therefore, a suction slot about 35 m long and 4 m deep was dug across the valley, into which a drainage line (perforated 150 mm clay pipes) was laid. These feed the spring water from the Schütterlehen spring and the underground springs to the Brunnhaus on the other bank of the Nassbach , where it is also connected to the line coming from the Reiss valley spring . The springs initially poured around 20 liters per second (2000 cubic meters daily).

The large Rax – Schneeberg – Schneealpe water reserve has existed here since 1965 , and there is a strict water protection area within 500 meters . The water protection is entrusted by the Vienna MA 31 (Vienna Water) and MA 49 (Forestry Office) . In addition, the comprehensive here conservation area Rax-Schneeberg .
