The Weida in Läwitz

The Weida is a non-navigable river in the eastern Thuringian district of Greiz .

geography

The source of the Weida is located in Thuringia between the Saxon Pausa / Vogtl. and the Zeulenroda-Triebeser district Schönbrunn , about 500 m away from the source of the tributary Triebes . After a short section in Saxony , the Weida flows through the Thuringian Slate Mountains past Zeulenroda-Triebes through the town of Weida of the same name . After 57 km of the river, it flows into the White Elster near Wünschendorf . Its tributaries include the Triebes , Auma and Leuba . In Weckersdorf , water can be channeled from the Lössau dam into the Weida via the wisent tunnel .

At Zeulenroda, the Weida is dammed to the Zeulenroda dam and further downstream to the Weidatalsperre , both of which are used for flood protection and from which drinking water was obtained until 2012 . Before the dams were built, there were numerous mills on the Weida. Only a few of them have survived today.

Between the Schüptitz stop and the city of Weida, the Mehltheuer-Weida-Gera railway follows the Weidatal.

The Weida flows into the White Elster

history

In the High Middle Ages the river was called Milde , which is also suggested by the name Mildenfurth . The river was probably given this name in the course of the German settlement of the Vogtland, which took place from the north. Because south of Wünschendorf, the Elstertal is steep-walled and impassable, i.e. quite rough, while the Weidatal, on the other hand, is comparatively "mild".
