Tips

March 5, 2017

Hiking

For a long time two functions were connected with the square "An der Pfann" and the Pfinz. On the opposite side of the river, water was poured into the mill-ditch to secure the operation of the flour mill at Niddaplatz. The abundance was returned by the Streichwehr back to the Pfinz. There you could then from 1699 at the so-called Flözloch use the ships for the stone transport to Durlach and later also to Karlsruhe.

Hiking

Here the water necessary for the operation of a mill was diverted. Until the Pfinz correction, the excess water was directed back into the main stream via a weir. From 1699, ships were also loaded here with stones that were transported from the quarries in the area to Durlach and later to Karlsruhe. For this purpose, there were two locks here.

The name "Flozloch" - Flößloch - indicates that the place played a role in log driving much earlier. Presumably for the transport of construction and firewood.

Information board 26/39 on the historical tour through Grötzingen.

Nicely laid out seating right on the Pfinz. Located next to the bike path and is ideally suited to cool off your feet after a long tour.
