The Beber - partly also Beberbach - is a 12.5 km long, right and northeastern tributary of the Leine in Eichsfeld in Thuringia .

course

The Beber rises not far from the Leinetal rest area on the A38 . It now flows in a west-northwest direction and reaches Günterode . Further down the stream it touches Siemerode and changes its direction of flow to the southwest. Now the Rießbach flow in from the left and the Rothenbach from the right, followed by the moat; also on the right. Leaving Mengelrode behind, the Bebertalbrücke of the A38 now spans the stream. Not far from the valley bridge is Rengelrode, the last place on the Beberufer. It flows into the Leine flowing in from the east between Uder and Heilbad Heiligenstadt .

Tributaries

The following small streams flow to the Beber:

  • Struthgraben (left) (as a longer source run)
  • Bischhagener Bach (right)
  • Rießbach (left)
  • NN Bach (right)
  • Rothenbach (right)
  • Moat (right)

Flood retention basin

A flood retention basin was built in 1989 about 500 meters above Mengelrode. The protective dam is 30 meters long and 9 meters wide. The Beber is not dammed up during normal discharge, but only during floods.

Origin of name

The body of water and the village of the same name, which no longer exist today, were first mentioned in writing in 1313 as Bybera, 1335 Bebera and finally Beber in 1676. The original Bibera (-aha) is derived from the animal name Biberbach. Due to the influence of Low German, -i- became -e-, in dialect it is pronounced "bewer". Not only the place name was derived from the name of the water, but also the Beberberg (373.4 m) northeast of Mengelrode, as well as the waiting towers of the Heiligenstädter Landwehr located on the Beberberg and near Rengelrode in the Middle Ages.
