The Querne , later Weida , is a brook in the Saalekreis and in the district of Mansfeld-Südharz in Saxony-Anhalt .
course
The brook begins as a Querne northwest of Ziegelroda , then flows east to Lodersleben and Querfurt , which it perhaps gave its name to (Furt over the Querne) . As far as Obhausen , it continues to flow east, where it takes up the Weidenbach from the right. The Querne itself loses its name here, it is now called Weida or for the last four kilometers Mittelgraben .
The Weida turns north into a curvy valley. In this it touches Kuckenburg after 2.4 km, reaches the Weidatalbrücke of the federal motorway 38 after one kilometer and crosses Esperstedt after half a kilometer for a length of 1.5 km . After another 2.4 kilometers, Schraplau is passed and the Weitzschkerbach from Farnstädt joins south of the village . After the border to the district of Mansfeld-Südharz has been crossed, the village of Stedten is touched one kilometer after Schraplau . From here the stream flows two kilometers to the northwest and then past Oberröblingen , where the Halle-Kassel railway line is crossed. After leaving Oberröblingen, the Weida used to flow into the Salziger See , which was drained by 1894. Now the Weida flows above the ground level of the lake through various channels on the northwestern Kernersee , a remnant of the salty lake. The Kernersee, into which, among other things, the Böse Sieben flows, has no natural drainage; the water of the evil seven is pumped up from the lake by a pump on the southeastern edge and fed into the new course of the Weida. From this point, which roughly corresponds to the historical runoff from the Salziger See, the water is now called Salza , which flows into the Saale after around 11 km.
history
On maps of the 16th century, the Weida has another tributary, namely a stream that rises southwest of Gatterstädt and flows from there in Obhausen in the Weita river . Whether the Weidenbach, which flows into Obhausen from the south, was also historically called Weida is controversial. At least the source of this brook near Barnstädt is also called the Weida source. The existence of the place Altweidenbach (first mentioned in 1120 as Widenbecke ) on the Weidenbach suggests that it was already called Weidenbach in the High Middle Ages.
Topographers of the 17th and 18th centuries listed a total of 24 mills between Lodersleben and Salzigem See, so understood - as is common today - the Querne as the upper reaches of the Weida. Some of these mills are still noted on the measuring table sheets. The fact that a topographer like Gebhard von Alvensleben, who had a very good knowledge of the area, wrote that the "Weita or Woite" springs from the Red Fountain near Luderburg, west of Lodersleben, shows that the Querne and Weida were also seen as a river back then term.
With the increase in mining, the sources of various rivers (e.g. the Würdebach) were in danger of drying out due to the lowering of the groundwater level, but the change caused by mining in the mouth of the Weida had a much more decisive influence on the Querne / Weida river area: than after water ingress Large parts of the salt lake had to be drained in tunnels, a new regulation of the flowing Weidabach was necessary. Since then, it has led in the ring canal to the former bed of the Salza, which previously did not emerge from here, but rather further north-east of the Salty Lake. Maps from the 16th century clearly show that the Salza only emerged between Langenbogen and Köllme at that time, as the area of the lake then extended significantly further into the Salzatal. The Magdeburg archbishops, to whom Langenbogen belonged, later dammed individual sections into lakes, so that the Salza (also known as the Salzke ) from then on represented the connection between these ponds. Later it became the outflow from the salty lake north of the Flegelsberg, between Langenbogen and Rollsdorf. Today, the watercourses known as the “ring canal” and an arm leading towards the central canal direct the water of the Weida past the Kernersee, a residual lake of the Salty Lake to the south and then to the east.
Surname
As with most German rivers and streams, the name is female (the Weida). Part of the confusion about the sources of the Weida makes up the question of the meaning of the river name, because willow still has different meanings in today's linguistic usage, for example that of the tree of the same name (Old High German wîda ), the meaning as grassland (Old German weidja , Old High German weida ) or the New High German meaning "herding animals on grassland". Thus, the existence of a Weidenthal estate in Querfurt or the village of Weidenbach south of Obhausen can be cited both for and against a connection with the Weida river basin. So it can neither be clearly clarified whether the Weida got its name because there were a lot of trees or green spaces on it, nor whether the Weidenbach was originally also called Weida. But since the Querne was already called Weida before the confluence of the Weidenbach, it is only certain that the Querne was originally called Weida.
Similar confusion exists about the name Querne. Here, too, at least two readings are possible. In the 9th century, the name Querfurt carries the defining word Curn several times in different sections of the Hersfeld index of tithe . Linguists such as Hans Walther attribute this, as well as the later Quern (10th century), to the Old High German words for mill ( churn , quirn ). It is therefore possible, on the one hand, that the people of Querfurt renamed their section of the Weida in Querne because they perceived it as a Mühlbach or that they did so because they wanted to name the river in their city. The fact that Querne, on the other hand, is the original name of the brook is only conceivable if the name can be derived from another word, since water mills did not reach central Germany until the ninth and tenth centuries (through the Franks). Other theses have meanwhile been rejected, such as Hermann Großler's assertion that the name comes from that of the warning people who temporarily settled in the area. Larger considered this to be an analogy to names like Frankfurt and thus represent the ford of warnings.
The claim of the topographer Julius v. Rohr (1748), the Weida hot turn . He writes about Schraplau: “The city lies ... on the water Wende, which falls into the salted lake at Röblingen; Below the lake, the brook takes on a different name, and is called Saltzke from the assumed bitterness, it falls near Saltz-Münde, not far from Wettin in the Saltz-See. ”Nevertheless, his description shows that one was not sure even then whether the outflow of the Salty Lake represents the water of the Evil Seven or the Weida . The linguist Udolph cites the Weida as one of the proofs of the “links between the Indo-European-Old European layer and old Germanic naming” of the rivers. Today the spelling of the river name varies from the official side apparently arbitrarily between Weida and Waida , whereby the river itself is always written Weida and the administrative community is also called Weida-Land, street names in the individual places are sometimes written with -a-, such as Waidawinkel (Obhausen), Waidastraße (Esperstedt, Schraplau) or Waidaweg (Röblingen).
