The Alte Luppe is a left-hand tributary of the Neue Luppe . It flows exclusively in the Leipzig city area and is a water body of the 2nd order under water law .
Demarcation
The Alte Luppe is a section of the Luppe that was split up several times during the construction of the Neue Luppe and which still flows separately into the Saale today . From the Burgaue , shortly before Böhlitz-Ehrenberg , its original river bed is still preserved, but in Leutzsch it is traversed by the Bauerngraben .
course
The Alte Luppe officially begins today on the border with Böhlitz-Ehrenberg as the left branch of the Bauerngraben. Like this one, it is deeply deepened, carries little water and mainly serves to drain excess rainwater from the adjacent settlements. The Alte Luppe flows through Böhlitz-Ehrenberg and then passes Gundorf on its northern edge. It flows the rest of the way through the Leipzig floodplain forest and touches the southern edge of Schlobachshof . Shortly before the Alte Luppe flows into the Neue Luppe northeast of the Domholzschänke , it picks up the Zschampert on the left.
Human influences
The formerly heavily branched Luppe had numerous branches such as the Rote Luppe, the Heuwegluppe, the Nameless Luppe or the Northern Old Luppe, which reunited with the Luppe on the outskirts of Leipzig. Like all other tributaries, these were interrupted during the construction of the Neue Luppe and have been old arms and pools ever since.
An approx. 3 km long oxbow lake, which is also referred to as the Alte Luppe on maps , extends north of the Neue Luppe, starting approx. 200 m east of the above-mentioned confluence of the Alten in the Neue Luppe, crossing the B 186 and north of Kleinliebenau ending. The first 400 m of this oxbow lake form the border between Leipzig and Schkeuditz, then the water only runs in the Schkeuditz area.
