The Ahse is a 50 km long, left-hand (southern) tributary of the Lippe in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). It flows in the Soest Börde in the municipalities of Bad Sassendorf , Lippetal , Welver and the city of Hamm , where it flows into the Lippe.

geography

It rises almost exactly in the middle between Erwitte and Soest near the federal road 1 in the village of Lohne in the municipality of Bad Sassendorf . South of Lohne, the Ahse only has temporary water. From Lohne it flows almost northwards to the village Bettinghausen , where the Kützelbach flows into it. The Ahse continues to flow southwest of Ostinghausen past Haus Düsse and then, flowing westward, past several old farms (Sauerlandshof, Haus Ahse and others). The Ahse has undergone major changes to the southeast of Oestinghausen . Until 1950 it flowed past two old mills; When the stowage right could be bought up, the Ahse lost its importance for the mill. From now on, the water was directed through the “Blind Bach” and the “Separation Ditch”; the old watercourses were now called " Mühlengraben ". In 2005 and 2006 the separation ditch was renatured and the mill ditch reactivated. Since 2006 this area has been designated as a nature reserve "Ahseniederung Oestinghausen". The waters of the Mühlengraben, the Rosenaue and the Schledde flow into the lowlands . The Ahse continues to flow in a westerly direction past various old farms (Schwenkhausen, Borghausen (with moated castle)).

To the north of Berwicke, the Soestbach, coming from Soest , flows into the Ahse. You continue past Haus Nehlen and Nateln (with Haus Nateln) towards the west. The former moated castle Matena is located south of the Ahse between Dorfwelver and Dinker; The Salzbach from Werl joins a little further . In a west-north-westerly direction, the Ahse flows north past Westtünnen. After the Caldenhof in the urban area of ​​Hamm, it was diverted in its lower reaches. In Hamm it flows into the Lippe after an underpass under the Datteln-Hamm Canal.

Surname

The name “Ahse”, originally passed down as “Orsna” (1269, 1293) or “Arsene” (1404), is related to a reconstructed German word arsa meaning “rear part” (see ass ). It remains unclear whether this meaning is to be applied directly to the river or whether it is transferred visually, for example as a knoll or hill.

history

Otto Krafft headed the work on the reburial of the Ahse in the area of ​​the city of Hamm as city planning officer in Hamm. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 19, 1911. Completion was celebrated in a ceremony on July 24, 1913. The old Ahse bed within the city of Hamm has been redesigned into a green belt (Südring and Ostringanlagen). In Lippetal-Oestinghausen, the Ahse was renatured and successfully reburied.
