The Kaitzbach, formerly Kaiditzbach, is situated in the south of Dresden, left tributary of the Elbe. Its length is currently 11.92 km, the average flow is approximately 35 liters per second. It was named after the village and present district of Dresden Kaitz.

Course

The Kaitzbach rises above the bath of Kleinnaundorf flows through the Kaitzgrund and Kaitz ( here inflow of Zschaukebaches ) to Mockritz ( here inflow of Nöthnitzbaches ), from then on through the district of Dresden chasing. Parts of its course are laid underground, so chasing the train station. Then he reached in this form the Great Garden, where it branches. The old course is headed south on the park side of the Dresden zoo along the other branch feeds the Carola and its related new pond in the northern part of the Great Garden. As Kaitzbach - Flutgraben leaves the channel- developed water on the Stübelallee the Great Garden, where it is discharged underground in northern direction.

The Kaitzbach flows through the park Bürgerwiese in Pirna suburb where he temporarily fed the water plants in the park of the no longer extant prince's palace. In the Bürgerwiese led a small stream in the Kaitzbach, of the cell 's way below Räcknitz approach led water from the Elbe valley slope from its branches.

At the northwestern end of the civil meadow of Kaitzbach flowed through the now no longer existing Jüdenteich at the old Cross School and culminated in the former moat of the old city. In more recent centuries he branched out like a channel in the area of the medieval town and was next to some tube lines ( water Weisseritz and the Holy Borns ) the main water supply of Dresden.

Near the town hall and the former Brühl's garden, the course is only available underground today. Near the synagogue of the course is indicated by night illuminated glass elements. The Kaitzbach opens at the Terrace shore below the east end of the Brühl 's Terrace in the Elbe. He is one of the few leading into the same rivers, whose term is initially parallel to the Elbe and also in Kaitzgrund to the southeast, so upriver directed. Since 2008, however, a part of Kaitzbaches was exposed in the Great Garden and improved flood protection. Previously ran the Kaitzbach drains. Now the creek flows visible in the big garden and seeps on Rodelberg fountain.

History

From excavation finds an early Slavic settlement of Kaitzgrundes is detected (below Coschuetz ). Also the origin of the village Kaitz is a Slavic round Weiler ( Rundling ). In the period around 1200 were at that time also Grundbach (especially the upper reaches of the creek ) said fluidized up to four water mills that existed in part to the middle of the 20th century. The first, belonging still to Cunnersdorf mill was the Ehrlich mill ( later Guts, bone or cake mill). The other three mills were all up on Kaitzer hallway. The mean of these was the Adam mill ( according to later owners also Claus, Walter Herrmann or mill). The next down the valley was the Köhler or Zschachlitzmühle that the application of the slag heap of Gitterseer mining gave way in 1955. In the further course of the stream ( the inhabitants of the Kaitzgrundes say " the brook" ), at the former confluence with the Zschaukebach in Altkaitz, is the basic mill, later Hofemühle (at the beginning of the 17th century the salt Treasurer Walter Lehmann was the owner ). She is one of the nuclei of the Amtslehngutes and thus the village Kaitz and preserved until today ( plot Altkaitz 6) to a large extent.

From 1682 onwards, the Kaitzbach dined about a century a large gondola basin in present-day flowering Park and was diverted between 1783 and the late 1920s, even through this area. During the Battle of Dresden in 1813, the Kaitzgrund belonged with its slopes and surrounding heights of the main strategic documents and was for this reason of August repeatedly fought hard to October of the year. Middle of the 19th century, the Kaitzgrund became one of the most popular recreation areas of the Dresden, which was reflected a large number of tourist restaurants in the making.

The end of this era was initiated by the city of Dresden, on the hillside north of the Kaitz docked a dump at the beginning of the 20th century. The Kaitzgrund between Cunnersdorf and Coschuetz by one of two was ( radioactively contaminated ) waste dumps ( first mud ponds ) filled in by the in the 1950s in Coschuetz / Gittersee operated uranium mining. The so also temporarily contaminated Kaitzbach was passed through a 800 m long tunnel on the southern slope of the heap. Here takes the Kaitzbach even today on the expenditure incurred pursuant to pit dewatering the Gitterseer Shelters Water quantities of 8 to 12 liters per second. The boating lake Carolasee in the big garden is fed by Kaitzbach. The early 1990s, this pond was freed in an elaborate campaign of radioactively contaminated sludge of Kaitzbaches.

Flood

The lower layers of the Kaitzgrundes have always been regarded as at risk of flooding. The citizens of Kaitz and Altmockritz expected earlier every seven to ten years, a larger flood with a flow rate of 750-1500 liters per second. One of the major there in August 1984, caused by a fall rain and the system operated by the former LPG large rape field on a hillside south of Kaitz towards Nöthnitz with a high outflow value since been drilled smooth. In the gardens at the Kaitzbach then stood waist-deep water and after it was drained, the sludge 10 to 15 centimeters. After another two weeks of flowering rape was a meter high.

During the August floods in 2002, the Kaitzbach occurred at a maximum flow rate of 2000 liters per second over its banks and turned into Altmockritz and chasing severe damage to ( high-water mark on the land Altmockritz 2). Even in the big garden he created at that time a major flood. For this reason, were also taken during the construction of the federal highway 17 since 2002 measures for flood protection. These included the cleanup, fixing and partial transfer of the stream bed, the integration of bank vegetation and the investment of overflow and stilling basin and planted areas in the course of the stream.

Two other sections of the underground areas which extend the stream have been disclosed in chasing the district again in 2006. The ending near the Strehlener S-Bahn breakpoint section has become an addition to the recreation area of this district through its scenic inclusion ( newly built bridge, new stilling basin, natural stone fortifications of the bank with railings ).
