The Seerenbach is a left tributary to the Wilden Weißeritz in the Tharandt Forest near Dorfhain , Saxony .
course
The Seerenbach rises north of the parish bush on the northwest slope of the Neuklingenberger Höhe (476 m) near Klingenberg in the Erzgebirge foothills . For its first 1.2 kilometers, the stream is piped in a northeasterly direction through the fields and meadows between Klingenberg and the Sachsenhof colony , and comes to light on the southern edge of the Tharandt forest . Then the Seerenbach flows west of the Steinberg (426 m) on the Grillenburg district through the forest to the north. To the northwest of Kleindorfhain , the stream is dammed in the Seerenteich. Below the pond, the brook takes an easterly direction and flows at the southern foot of the Markgrafenstein (414 m) in a notched valley over the district of Dorfhain. The Seerenbach forms the southern border of the Tharandt forest on this section. After 6.6 km the Seerenbach flows into the Wilde Weißeritz at the top at Kleindorfhain .
The Dresden – Werdau railway runs through the Seerenbachtal with a steep rise from the Weißeritztal into the Erzgebirge foothills.

history
After Duke George the Bearded had ordered in 1521 to protect the heavily damaged forests around Dresden, the city's wood needs mainly from the Tharandt Forest and the Eastern Ore Mountains, the Weißeritz was first used to raft firewood and logs. From 1615 on, several rafts were thrown into the valley above Tharandt over the valley of the Wilden Weißeritz, from which the wood was thrown into the valley: the Hüttenlos and the Georgenlos were near Edle Krone , the Bellmanns lot above the confluence of the Tiefen Grundes.
In 1717 the Seerenbach was expanded for rafting. Several raft ditches were dug from the Triebisch to the Seerenbach. One led from the X-Hübel into the Großer Floßteich ▼ on the Second Hübel, the other from the X-Bach past the Güntherkreuz through the suction ground into the Kleiner Floßteich ▼ on the A-Hübel. Another small raft pond ▼ was located north of Kleindorfhain in a right side valley. In 1718, wood was first rafted on the Seerenbach. In 1828 a large raft pond was created on an old pond with the sea pond.
Between 1859 and 1862 the railway line from Tharandt to Freiberg was laid through the Seerenbachtal . The large raft pond was dug up because of the railway construction. In 1872, wood was rafted for the last time on the Seerenbach. Three years later, the entire Weißeritz rafting business was given up, as timber transport by rail was more advantageous.
Of the raft ponds, only the sea pond and the small raft pond, which was restored as a biotope after 1990, still exist.
