Diskussion:Bahra (Gottleuba)

Mistake

Dear colleagues. I don't speak German, so I can't edit this article by myself, but there is a grave mistake right now. You have mixed up two Czech watercourses - Slatina and Petrovický potok. The article claims that Bahra rises in the Czech part of Erzgebirge as Slatina, but it is not true. The Czech part of this river is called Petrovický potok (Petrovice Stream) and it's headwater is near the village of Panenská (Jungferndorf) - 50.7590528°N, 13.9689308°E. You can check it here: https://publikationen.sachsen.de/bdb/artikel/13361/documents/21108 (page 91, the first and last row) or you can use Google Maps and simply follow the watercourse.

Slatina is a different stream in the Czech part of Erzgebirge. It crosses the border to Germany, where it's known as Mordgrundbach, and eventually flows into Bahra in Helensdorf.

Could anyone please fix this mistake? It'd be necessary to rewrite the whole section "Verlauf" and I'm not sure about the rest of the article. Thank you--Faigl.ladislav (Diskussion) 18:02, 14. Jul. 2014 (CEST)

You are absolutely right. I've seen this misinterpretation already some weeks ago but was busy compiling the Liste von Flüssen im Erzgebirge. As you can see there, Mordgrundbach/Slatina and Bahra/Buschbach/Petrovický potok are already listed in your sense (though some facts have to be added) with Mordgrundbach being a tributary to Bahra. In Germany the Bahra sometimes is regarded as a river having two arms. Unfortunately the original author stressed the Mordgrundbach as the major, but in the official publications Petrovický potok is the spring of the Bahra. I intended two give Mordgrundbach an own article and will do so in the next days. Best regards --HsBerlin01 (Diskussion) 20:34, 14. Jul. 2014 (CEST)
