Upper course

The Beckendorfer Mühlenbach rises in a spring pond at the height of Nagelsholz north of Jöllenbeck , around 750 m west of the street corner Nagelsholz / Schlottkamp and 500 m north of the Jöllenbeck wind turbine. The source area already belongs to the Beckendorfer Mühlenbachtal nature reserve , which accompanies the stream to its mouth. The brook flows around 1.2 km in a south-westerly direction through an alluvial forest, marking the border between Bielefeld and Spenge for around 300 m, and crosses under the Bargholzstrasse between Jöllenbeck and Häger . On the south side of the road, remains of the former Jöllenbeck outdoor pool can still be seen in the alluvial forest. The stream turns here to the south and forms the border between Bielefeld and Werther for over 1 km. He passed an elongated rubble dump to the west. From here, the stream flows mainly through a box-shaped sieve typical of the Ravensberg hill country . 700 m south of Bargholzstrasse, a nameless tributary flows into it from the right, and another nameless tributary 400 m further south.

Middle course

The middle course turns to the southeast. 700 m further southeast, the Dreeker Bach or Preckerbach flows from the left, which rises on Dreeker Weg in Jöllenbeck. The largest part of this side valley is part of the nature reserve. Another 700 m to the south-east the brook crosses under Beckendorfstrasse between Jöllenbeck and Schröttinghausen . There was a fish pond in the curve of the road, which has now largely silted up. 400 m further southeast the Pfarrholzbach joins from the left , which rises at the Breede in Jöllenbeck. At the mouth there was a mill that is still used as a house. 500 m further south, below the Heidsieker Heide street with a hotel building that can be seen from afar, another nameless stream joins from the right. Before that, the stream passes Haselhorst farm to the east and a riding facility to the west. Another 400 m further south, the Horstheider Bach flows from the left, which rises at the northern end of Theesen .

Lower course

The approximately 1 km long lower course moves with a few curves in a narrow alluvial forest almost in a north-south direction, which separates Theesen from Babenhausen . Shortly before its confluence with the Schwarzbach, the Beckendorfer Mühlenbach passes under the hiking trail that leads from the Köckerhof to the other Hof Meyer zur Müdehorst on Schröttinghauser Straße.

Large parts of the Bachtal are under nature protection. The Beckendorfer Mühlenbachtal nature reserve is looked after by the Biological Station Gütersloh / Bielefeld and serves, among other things, to "protect the largely contiguous valley areas of the Beckendorfer Mühlenbach from the source to the confluence with the Schwarzbach and the Seitensieke".

fauna

The nature reserve is known for the occurrence of the kingfisher , the small woodpecker and the crested newt .
