The Arbesbach , also peas Bach or Sieveringerbach called, is a partly open, partly as a stream channel guided Bach in the 19th district of Vienna Döbling . The approximately 4.3 kilometer long stream is the most important tributary of the Krottenbach and is practically entirely in the Sievering area .
geography
geology
As the Wienerwaldbach, the Arbesbach has the character of a low mountain range . Due to the impermeability of the subsoil, the water flow of the creek changes very quickly due to more intensive precipitation, so that short but strong floods can occur. The upper course of the Arbesbach is typically in the forest and is relatively steep with strong deep erosion.
course
Headwaters
The headwaters of the Arbesbach consists of several branches that arise in the area between the Dreimarkstein and the Latisberg (Cobenzl). The northernmost source streams arise south of the Jägerwiese and between Latisberg and Vogelsangberg . These merge north of the Hartgrabenwiese and then quickly take in three source streams that arise in Am Himmel ( Pfaffenberg ) or south of the Rohrerwiese. The Arbesbach runs from the area of these source streams along the left side of Sieveringer Strasse . The easternmost branch, the Gereutebach, rises east of the Dreimarkstein and runs along the Spießweg . It finally flows into the Arbesbach at the point where the stream changes to the right side of the road and runs between it and the Spießweg.
Middle and lower reaches
After the confluence of the Gspöttgraben in Obersievering, parts of the Arbesbach have already been built. From Sieveringer Straße 223 it still runs in its own brook profile, but is already overlaid in large parts. A few houses below Agnesgasse (Sieveringer Straße 168), the Arbesbach finally joins the existing Bach Canal behind the adjoining row of houses with the odd ordinal numbers, which has a profile 1.30 meters wide and 1.80 meters high. Originally, the brook ran on this side to the Sieveringen parish church , then turned behind the right row of houses to change diagonally from Brechergasse to the opposite side of the street. After that, the stream flowed at the former Helenenbad the Schatzlsteig the Windhabergasse to and passed in sequence along the currently existing footpath between the Windhabergasse and Sieveringer road. At the height of Börnergasse , the course of the stream finally left the main street of Sievering and turned into the Gräfweg that exists today . This was followed by the course of the stream, the Arbesbachgasse named after the stream . The confluence finally took place in the extended line of Arbesbachgasse below the former private insane asylum in the Krottenbach .
history
The name of the Arbesbach goes back to the Middle High German erbiz or arwis ( pea ). The name goes back to the vegetation on the banks, mainly wild peas. In earlier times the Arbesbach was a sometimes wild mountain stream , which due to the geological conditions of the Vienna Woods often led to floods in Sievering. In addition, the Vienna Woods brooks were often used to carry away rubbish and sewage. In order to limit the flooding and unpleasant smells, the arching of the Arbesbach began between 1894 and 1896. First of all, the stream was built over a length of 1,364 meters from the mouth to Sieveringer Straße 83. In 1908 there was already a project to extend the vault, as the odor nuisance of the stream was too strong. However, the implementation failed due to the local residents' demands for replacement. It was not until 1954 and 1955 that the vaulting in the old town center of Sievering was continued by 983 meters to Sieveringer Straße 175a. After the flooding in the summer of 1959, the vault was extended to Agnesgasse in the 1960s.
