course

Muzzle into the White Elster

The Schwarzbach rises about 150 m behind the border on the Czech side on the slope of Počátecký vrch (German: Ursprungberg ). After a short run, which is called Hinterer Langebach on the German side , it is dammed up in the rear raft pond together with the Vorderen Langebach. In the further course of the river flows into the Vorderen Raftteich. This collects the water of the iron-containing red acid (dialect: Rotseierbächel), which has its sources at the Hohe Brand . The coloring is caused by brown iron stone .

Up to the inflow of the Gopplasgrüner Bach in the center of Erlbach, the water is called the Floßbach. It then flows as Schwarzbach through Markneukirchen and its district Siebenbrunn and flows into the White Elster in Adorf .

history

Rear raft pond

Originally the Schwarzbach was called Kleine Elster ( 1122 Alestra secunda, 1165 Alestra minor ). Around 1150 the northern border of the Egerland ran from the Leibitsch to the Schwarzbachquelle and then further along the Schwarzbach to its confluence with the White Elster.

Because the rafting trade used to be practiced on it, it was also called raft trench and in the 18th century raft brook . For the purpose of rafting was in the Erlbacher district Landesgemeinde at 623 m above sea level. The rear raft pond was created in 1581 and collects the water from several springs. Not far from there, the Vordere Floßteich was created on a small tributary downstream. The former wooden water passage, a so-called dole, is exhibited on its dam .

The wood from the state community was rafted to Leipzig and Halle. As early as 1595, half of the state community forest was destroyed.
