Knappschaftsteich Pond

The Knappschaftsteich (pond), created in 1684, directly borders the Siebenschlehen Pochwerk (stamp mill) complex. This is a Pochwerksteich (pond), which served to provide the motive-water for another stamp mill situated below the Siebenschlehen Pochwerk. The reservoir contains a loam sealed earth dam, a terrace wall, a Striegelhaus (control hut) as well as a spillway. The pit obtained the water used to operate the stamp mill and the ore washer via the 600 m long Pochwerksgraben (ditch) from the Lindenauer pond.
