The Bever is a 10.5 km long, left-hand or southwestern tributary of the Weser in the district of Höxter , North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).
It is to be distinguished from the Beverbach , an eastern tributary of the Weser. This flows further north at Bevern in Lower Saxony into the Weser.
course
The Bever brook arises on the northeastern edge of the Warburger Börde through the confluence of the Jordan coming from Borgholz and the Eselsbach flowing from Natzungen or south-west, 1.3 km east-south-east of Borgholz near the Tückemühle .
From here, the Bever runs along a section of the B 241 in a predominantly north-easterly direction through southern parts of the Weser Uplands . Taking up the water of the Lebersiek brook coming from the southeast, it flows to Dalhausen (south-western part of Beverungen) to flow into the Weser coming from the south on the southern outskirts of Beverungen after crossing the B 83 . The confluence of the southern Lower Saxony municipality of Lauenförde and the Solling low mountain range are opposite.
Name story
It is believed that the river name comes from the Low German word for beaver , "Bever".
history
Flood disasters on the Bever after a sudden thaw have been recorded for February 23, 1839 and January 20, 1840. "There was a major water disaster on May 31, 1867. Two thunderstorms broke out over the upper village [Dalhausen] and unleashed a terrible downpour. The floods rose 20 feet and carried away what was possible. Six people - two adults and four Children - found death in the floods. "
On December 1, 2006, after a slurry fall, the water became contaminated. Through a fist-sized crack in the fermenter of the biogas plant in Borgentreich- Natzungen , large amounts of fermentation substrate got into the Eselsbach and thus into the Bever, which resulted in massive fish deaths . Trout , eel , grayling , crabs and other aquatic animals perished, which also affected the adjacent fish ponds.
Landscape protection
The "entire course of the Bever with its surrounding floodplain up to the confluence with the Weser" was included in 1998 by the Höxter district in the landscape plan No. 2 "Wesertal with Beverplatten". “The flat floodplain of the stretched to curving stream is temporarily flooded. On the Bever there are only a few areas with permanent grassland over Pleistocene valley gravel, which is covered by a Holocene alluvial clay layer. However, the development area has important groundwater protection functions and, as a natural retention area, also has a water regulation function. As a near-natural flowing water, the Bever is largely mapped as a protected biotope according to § 62 LG and, as a flowing water, also has a high ecological potential. With its flood plain, it forms an important development axis for the spread of plants and animal species in the adjacent mountainous region. On the stream there is almost continuous bank-stabilizing woody vegetation that has an erosion protection function and at the same time contributes to the structuring and revitalization of the floodplain. The natural flow dynamics should be permitted or promoted in the entire Bever valley area by designating sufficiently wide riparian strips. Due to the existing landscape structure, the development area is well suited for landscape-related recreation, limited by the necessary consideration for sensitive and sensitive habitats of the flora and fauna typical of the landscape.
