The Leubnitzbach, also named Heiliger Born after a spring in its middle course, or Neuostraer Wasser is a left tributary of the Elbe in the southern urban area of Dresden. The brook has been of great importance for the water supply in Dresden since the Middle Ages.

The valley of the Heiligenbornbach, one of numerous smaller bodies of water in the southern outskirts, extends between the Altleubnitz village center and the residential area on the Fuchsberg. Here is the source of the legendary “Holy Born”. This is said to have been part of a place of worship in pre-Christian times. Later its water, which does not freeze even in severe winters, was used by the monastery courtyard. In the 12th century the monks built a small chapel in the immediate vicinity of the spring, which probably existed until the Reformation and which may have played a role in the conversion of the Slavs who once lived here to Christianity. According to tradition, the fountain was the destination of pilgrimages until the Reformation, as its clear water was said to have healing powers. (Source: Dresdner-Stadtteile.de)
