The Arbach is a 3.77 km long brook and tributary of the Wildebach near Salchendorf in the southern Siegerland .

geography

course

The Arbach rises at the Große Rausche at 391  m altitude and flows south past a Pfannenberg foothill, called the Spiesgebirge. In the upper part the brook flows through a pond. It runs further south in the direction of Ort and partly flows in pipes far below Salchendorf's main street and later right next to the railway tracks. The “Hell”, a foothills of the Hofstätter Forest, then separates the Arbachtal from the Gutenbachtal . It crosses under the connecting road to Wilden and flows 230 m through a pipe and flows into the Wildebach.

history

At the beginning of the 19th century, the Arbacher Unity trade union was formed in a side valley in the upper Arbachtal through the consolidation of several mine fields. Over time, the mine developed into the most important iron ore mine in Freie Grund . In 1810 several fields were consolidated on the Pfannenberghang to form the Pfannenberger Einigkeit mine . While the Arbach mine stopped mining in 1901, the Pfannenberg mine was producing more than 60,000 t of ore in 1902. It was closed in 1965 as the last large mine in the Siegen district . The Wodanstolln at the beginning of the valley served the Rennseifen and Heidenberg pits as an inheritance tunnel and is now a visitor mine . In 1907 a connecting line of the Free Grunder Railway was put into operation in the Arbachtal, the rails are still in use today. They run east parallel to the Arbach up the valley and cross the creek before the source in a hairpin in the direction of Pfannenberg .
