The Anzbach is a Wienerwaldbach that flows almost exactly in an east-west direction. It rises near Rekawinkel am Zwickelberg (from which a source brook of the Dürren Wien, a tributary of the Wien River , but flowing in a west-east direction, rises) and flows through Eichgraben , Maria-Anzbach and Neulengbach , where it flows into the Laabenbach the confluence of the Anzbach is called Große Tulln . Left tributaries are Bierbach, Haabach, Nagelbach (with the Schießstattgraben inflow on the right). Steinwinkelgraben, Hauselbach and Kirschnerwaldbach flow on the right.

Origin of name: On April 29, 998, Maria Anzbach was first mentioned in a document as Amizinesbach. The reason for the naming is unclear, but it is believed that it goes back to the personal name "Amizi". An Amuzi appears in the entourage of Bishop Burchart of Passau around 903. After all, 1,128 places in Austria end in -bach. These settlement names are due to small watercourses.
