Weiterswiese
Weiterswiese is a no longer existing part of the former municipality of Carlsfeld , which has been part of the Ore Mountains town of Eibenstock since 1997 .
Geographical location
The scattered settlement of Weiterswiese was located in what is now the reservoir area of the Weiterswiese dam in the Wilzsch valley . Nearby is the Großer Kranichsee nature reserve on the German-Czech border and the Weitersglashütte high moor nature reserve .
The buildings of the former group of houses Weiterswiese were spread over a T-shaped forest clearing with small watercourses and boggy meadows. The area around it was enclosed by high forest stands of the former Carlsfeld state forest area, from which individual elevations emerge from the otherwise plateau-like landscape only in the north with the Otterberg (916.5 m) and in the south with the pole height (963.5 m). Several forest aisles ran from the surrounding forest divisions to Weiterswiese.
There was an inn in the center of the village. On a south-facing path and at the edge of the forest stood a building called the Steigerhaus . The center of the village, around the inn, was at a height of 889.5 meters. There the Wilzsch flowed to two streams from the west and east. A mill ditch branched off from the eastern creek not far from its confluence, which in the remaining sections leads along the slopes of the Glashüttenbach valley and ends in Wildenthal . In the southern section of Weiterswiese, the Wilzsch turned with a curve to the west to its headwaters in the Wilzschmoor ( Great Acid ) about 2000 meters away . In this curvature and not far from the peat area at the Steigerhaus , the Reitsteigbach flows with several lateral moats and an inlet from the Großer Kranichsee high moor . In addition to the peat deposits, there are clayey and silty sediments here. Natural scree weirs in the soil accompanied the formation of the raised bogs.
history
On the "Weite Wiese" near Carlsfeld there were seven, and most recently eight houses from the dispersed Weiterswiese settlement. After a devastating flood of the Wilzsch in Carlsfeld in 1908, the decision was made to build a dam for flood protection and drinking water. The inhabitants of the small settlement were resettled when construction of the Weiterswiese dam (1927–1929) began, as the eight residential buildings were located in the flood area of the dam. The foundation walls of the buildings are still there today on the bottom of the dam.
use
There were peat cuts in the western and eastern parts of the forest clearing as well as in its southern tip . The peat was u. a. used as fuel in the Carlsfeld glassworks. In the vicinity of the Steigerhaus , the peat reached a thickness of 5 meters.
Traffic routes
Weiterswiese could be reached from Carlsfeld via a country road that continues south of the group of houses as Sachsenberger Weg . This path led past the area of the Großer Kranichsee and turns as Schwerdtweg in a westerly direction to the settlement of Aschberg in Klingenthal . In Weiterswiese, the Kammweg branched off from the thoroughfare to the northeast and connected the group of houses with Weitersglashütte on Frühbusser Straße .
