etymology

The river bears the same name as the settlement first mentioned in 1240 as "Swartzpach".

course

The Schwarzbach rises from many individual sources in the Hermannsdorfer Wiesen nature reserve in the Geyerschen Forest near the Black Pond on Elterleiner Flur. After the Schlangenbach and Wiesenbach flow into the Schwarzbach, among other things , it flows around the town of Elterlein , passes the Elterlein sports field and crosses under Scheibenberger Straße. Now the Schwarzbachtal opens and the river crosses the place that owes its name to the Schwarzbach. The Mühlgraben with the mill and bakery Doering and the Rotbach / Rote Bach flow here . It leaves Schwarzbach to the southwest and continues through Langenberg , where it starts at the inn "St. Katharina" to meander its way to Schwarzenberg . Here it flows into the Große Mittweida shortly after entering the town .
