The Wilde Weißeritz is next to the Rote Weißeritz one of the two source rivers of the Weißeritz .

course

Wilde Weißeritz at the Alte Zinnbrücke Seyde

The Wilde Weißeritz rises on the Czech Ore Mountains ridge near Nové Město (New Town) near Moldava as Divoká Bystřice at an altitude of about 850 meters. The origin of the Flöha and the Freiberg Mulde are only about 2 to 2.5 km away . At Rehefeld , it then moves to German territory. Until it merges with the Rote Weißeritz , it covers a distance of 52.5 kilometers and has a gradient of 667 meters. Its catchment area covers a total of 162.7 square kilometers.

In contrast to the Rote Weißeritz, the Wilde Weißeritz mainly flows through sparsely populated areas in the upper and middle reaches. Only in the lower reaches it passes the town of Tharandt , shortly afterwards it unites with the Rote Weißeritz in Freital-Hainsberg to form the (United) Weißeritz .

After a devastating flood in 1897 devastated the valleys of the Weißeritz rivers and the settlements on them, especially the communities in the area of ​​today's city of Freital and the southern suburbs of Dresden , a flood protection concept was drawn up in the beginning of the 20th century implemented. This led to the construction of the Klingenberg dam in the sparsely populated middle course of the river between 1908 and 1914 , which was followed by the Lehnmühle dam from 1926 to 1931 . Both barrages also serve to supply drinking water and, to a lesser extent, to generate electricity.

Former mills

In 1902 there were around 48 mills in the Weißeritz catchment area. Many mills no longer exist, some have been rebuilt and serve other purposes.

  • Lime kiln
    • Kalkofner Mühle: on the Bohemian side was a board saw, demolished after 1945.
  • Rehefeld
    • Rehefeld forest mill
    • Herklotzmühle : The mill ditch of the Herklotzmühle (200 meters down the valley) branches off from the Weißeritz above the Alte Zunnbrücke. The Herklotzmühle, an interesting technical monument, is shown incorrectly on many maps (at the exit of Rehefeld). The consistently good water flow of the Wild Weißeritz as well as the surrounding forests and forests were guarantors for the existence of the enterprise. Built in the early 17th century, it is one of the few well-preserved and functional cutting mills in the Ore Mountains. The delivered wood was processed here into beams, boards, boxes, roof shingles and many other products until it was closed in 1992. The Hercules saw frame and other machines were driven via the overshot water wheel with a diameter of 4.50 m. With good water flow, the bike could deliver up to 25 hp.
    • Kempenmühle
    • Kirstenmühle: demolished in 1971
  • Schönfeld
    • Thielesmühle (Schönfeld)
    • Obermühle Schönfeld
    • White Mill (Schönfeld)
    • Biedermannsmühle (Schönfeld)
  • Ammelsdorf
    • Grain mill (Ammelsdorf)
  • Hartmannsdorf
    • Steinbrückmühle (Hartmannsdorf, in the reservoir of the dam, demolished around 1930)
    • Lehnmühle: It was located in Hartmannsdorf below the dam and its dilapidated remains were ground down in 2006.
  • Pretzschendorf
    • Röthenbacher Mühle: The grinding mill was demolished in 1958 and the sawmill was demolished in 1960. The only remaining building is used by the TU Dresden (Institute for Hydraulic Engineering) for scientific purposes. Below the path from Röthenbach to Reichstädt crosses the Weißeritztal.
  • Klingenberg
  • Obercunnersdorf
    • Hosenmühle (Obercunnersdorf)
  • Village grove
    • Winkelmühle
    • Barthmühle
    • Stone mill
    • Niedermühle or Ochsenmühle
  • Beerwalde / Röthenbach
    • Beerwalde valley mill: About one kilometer south of the Beerwalder is the former valley mill on the east side of the Weißeritz. It was demolished in 1964. Remains of the foundation walls and the mill ditches are still visible. Access is via a well-preserved historical bridge - it is likely to be one of the few that survived the 2002 floods.
    • Beerwalder Mühle: Above the road crossing between Röthenbach / Pretschendorf and Beerwalde, the Beerwalder Mühle once stood. It was demolished in 1939 and there are hardly any traces left.
  • Höckendorf
  • Tharandt
  • Castle mill
  • Swiss Mill (Tharandt) Swiss mill in the Rabenauer Grund near Tharandt
  • Coßmannsdorf
  • Hainsberg
