Surname
In the Annales Rodenses , the yearbooks of the Klosterrath Abbey from the 12th century, the stream is called Anstela . In the course of time this developed from Anstel / Amstell or Anselder Beek . Even Judge Richer Bach and Mühlebach were common names. The name Amstelbach has established itself in the former Heydener Ländchen and in the rest of the brook area as well as in the NW waterway map .
geography
course
The Amstelbach has its source near the village of Nierstein in the Richterich district in the city of Aachen . The source area lies at a height of approx. 183 m above sea level . The stream with a length of 13.5 km flows in a northerly direction and is mainly used for surface drainage and for flood protection when ice and snow melt . It passes through the districts of Kircheich , Mühlenbach and Pannesheide to the east , while the district of Bank is cut through directly. At Pannesheide the Amstelbach briefly becomes the border river between Germany and the Netherlands and then crosses the Anstelvallei ( Amsteltal ), Kerkrade's green heart, as Anselderbeek. Opposite the district of Hofstadt , the stream flows into the Wurm at a height of 98 m above sea level after the Strijthagerbeek has been absorbed beforehand . The water association Eifel-Rur (WVER) is responsible for the care and maintenance of the water .
