The Struga [ ˈstruːɡa ] (colloquially often [ ˈʃtʁuːɡa ]) is a right-hand tributary of the Spree in north-east Saxony in northern Upper Lusatia .
As a natural landmark of the Schleifer region , the Struga is the eponym of Kito Lorenc 's epic Struga: Pictures of a Landscape . For the Sorbian writer Kito Lorenc, who was born in a loop, the Struga is “as befits my little homeland”, a river, not a river.
course
The Struga flows through the lignite mining area north of the Nochten open-cast mine and is completely canalised along its entire course. Your catchment area is shaped by current and past mining activities.
The stream has its source in the west of Weißwasser and flows in a northwest direction to Trebendorf . The Struga runs for a few kilometers in the immediate vicinity of the Berlin – Görlitz railway line along the Trebendorfer municipality border, before continuing after about 1.3 kilometers in the direction of the loop . After flowing through the Altes Schleifer Teichgelände nature reserve , it crosses the village and separates the village center from the settlements that only emerged in the first half of the 20th century. A tributary flows in Trebendorf towards the Halbendorfer See , over which the lake can be flooded and lowered.
Once in Rohne , it flows north of the town center along the former borders of the rural economy. Shortly before the neighboring village of Mulkwitz , it flows through a small biotope . At the other end of the village, the Breite Graben flows into the Struga , which , coming from Mühlrose , carries swamp water from the Nochten open-cast mine. At its mouth, the Breite Graben is larger than the Struga.
From Mulkwitz, the Struga, which is henceforth a river , flows on towards Neustadt , where it is directed to the landing basin. The Struga flows as a stream north of the village into the Spree , while the majority of the water from the landing basins is fed to the mine water purification system in Schwarze Pump by Vattenfall Europe Mining AG .
State road 130 ( Burgneudorf –Schleife) crosses the Struga several times between Runde and Neustadt .

Due to its location in a landscape shaped by mining, the Struga is very acidic and contains iron. During the GDR era, it was also heavily polluted by industrial wastewater , especially from the Weißwasser glass works.
In 2003, the loop measured pH values between 3.4 and 6.4. After the tributary of the Breite Graben in Mulkwitz, which carries open-cast waste water with it, the Struga can be regarded as ecologically destroyed.
Origin of name
The origin of the name is generally attributed to the once native brown trout , which is referred to in Upper Sorbian as pstruha . (In the Schleifer dialect , the Upper Sorbian 'h' shifts to the Lower Sorbian 'g'.) In Polish it would be struga = 'the stream' (meaning: constant water movement in the water bed). Struža means trickle. However, some researchers see the origin of the name differently. Paul Kühnel, for example, saw the origin of the name in Old Slavonic struga ('wave', 'flood') and New Slavonic struga ('water basin', 'water arm'). With him the name was given in Sorbian with Struha .
As part of the National Socialist Germanization of Sorbian place and field names, the Struga was renamed in 1937 based on the origin of the name in "Wellenbach". In 1949 it was given its original name back by resolution of the Niesky district council.
