The Three-Country Stone at Jägerfleck. Where Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia meet today, there has always been a border. This stone separated the Duchy of Brunswick, the Kingdom of Prussia (until 1866 the Kingdom of Hanover), and the County of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. The change after 1866 is clearly visible. AB stands for the Hanoverian Amt Benneckenstein. Later, it was changed to KP - Kingdom of Prussia. The inner-German border also ran through this point.

Thick Firs is the name of a primeval forest-like area near Hohegeiß. From the 18th century onwards, the forest was left to itself here. The tallest spruces in the Harz grow here and, after their life, undergo natural decay. This is how I imagine a primeval forest. The ridiculous national park is still very far from this...

Upper Harz Water Regale - The Sperberhaier Dam Aqueduct was constructed between 1732 and 1734. Over the 16m high and 940m long dam, the dam ditch was guided on its course from Torfhaus to the Burgstädt district across the valley closure of the Söse.

Upper Harz Water Management System - During the period from the 16th to the 19th century, mining in the Harz region experienced its heyday. The mining towns were granted their mining freedom or were founded, and many groundbreaking inventions originated here. These include the water pump, the railway rail, the wire rope, and the patented explosive. Water wheels and overshot wheels were used as engines for almost all tasks to be performed. The invention of the steam engine did not change this. It was only the introduction of electric motors in the 20th century that replaced the water wheels. Enormous amounts of water were needed as driving power, which ran low during the dry months. In the picture: Water art at the Maaßener Gaipel near Lautental.

Upper Harz Water Management System - To quench the insatiable thirst of the water-powered mining machines, a gigantic system of water ditches, channels, dam aqueducts, and artificial ponds was created over decades in the Harz Mountains, which is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Upper Harz Water Management System. In the picture: the Rehberger Ditch just before the Rehberger Ditch House.

Upper Harz Water Regale - The largest structure is the Dammgraben. Over a length of 25 km, it channels water from the high-precipitation areas around Torfhaus to the mining districts of Clausthal. In doing so, it crosses the Sösetal valley with the Sperberhaier Dam aqueduct, which is 16 meters high and 940 meters long. 500 miners built it between 1731 and 1734.

Upper Harz Water Regale - Initially, the ditches were adapted to a gentle slope of the topography and led on long routes around the mountains. Later, the mountains were pierced, and the water was directed through underground watercourses. The advantage here was that the water was slightly warmed in winter and did not freeze. In the picture: the Huttaler Wiederwaage.

Upper Harz Water Management System - Using the example of the Bärenbruch Pond and Ziegenberger Pond, the name Water Management System becomes clear. Like a shelf, the structures were arranged one above the other. The water was collected even after use and supplied to the next machine. This way, many installations above and below ground could be operated with the same water. Which energy carrier can be used so efficiently?
