The Sornoer Elster (formerly also Sornosche Elster or Sornische Elster ; Sorbian Žarnowski Halštrow ) was a branching right tributary system of the Black Elster , which extended in the Lusatian glacial valley , east of Senftenberg and west of Spremberg .

Source of the river

The original main source area was around 1850 in the Schonitz Heide between Pulsberg and Sabrodt near the town of Spremberg. With the emergence of lignite mining , there were serious changes in the landscape, and many lakes , ponds and rivers were dredged over, relocated or straightened.
Until the middle of the 19th century, the Sornosche Elster river system comprised countless streams , including: Rainitza , Reppister Bach , Storchelster , Putkupko , Padgriba and Wolschinka , as well as the mill and land ditches from the Groß Partwitzer Lugteichen and the Blunoer Heide .

Mouth of the river

Today's canal system in the Lusatian Lakeland leads a canal located southeast of Kleinkoschen , about two kilometers long, from Lake Geierswalder to the Black Elster. This canal is recalled today as the Sornoer Elster.

The original estuary, however, can hardly be made out today. Not far from the Grünstraße industrial estate in Senftenberg, near the hardware store, local researchers from Kleinkoschen marked the former confluence with the Black Elster between gnarled old oaks. The Senftenberg old town and its castle were to mittelalterlicheren time in a spreewald similar insularity , was located at the present-day intersection Steindamm / Bahnhofstrasse a port facility .
