Great Telekia (Telekia speciosa) Field

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

The greater telekia (Telekia speciosa), also known as pseudo-alant, is a species of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Nice to look at, it doesn't belong here. Always flowers in summer in this area.

The Neunzehnhain Dam was built between 1911 and 1914 in the Bornwald near Pockau-Lengefeld in the Ore Mountains. It was put into operation shortly before the outbreak of the First World War. Due to the rapid industrialization of the Chemnitz area at the end of the 19th century and the enormous population growth of that time, water consumption rose rapidly. The Neunzehnhain Dam, which was only inaugurated in 1908, could no longer meet the water demand just three years later - and was therefore given a larger sister to accompany it.
