The Bremke , also Algier or Beke , is a tributary of the Ilme in the area of ​​the city of Dassel .

geography

Upper course

The brook arises in the eastern Solling near the Seutebornwiese north of the state road 549. It flows through predominantly wooded forestry terrain in an easterly direction down towards Dassel. It is piped in the residential area on the western edge of the city of Dassel. It then continues to flow again as an open stream with the exception of road crossings. The stream flows straight to the edge of the old town. The upper course is also called Algiers, which analogously to the Aller is interpreted as a linguistic derivation of alder trees , which are part of the typical vegetation for this location .

Lower course

In the city center on the edge of the old town, the stream is widened by a hydraulic barrage, as the small pond created in this way is part of the local park. From there the brook flows partially straightened in a southerly direction and gets about 100 m east of the St. Michael Church from an unnamed source brook, piped near its mouth, whose source is not far west of its own source. The lower course is also known colloquially as the Beke . Several old poplars and willows were felled there in the 2000s when the neighboring land was designated as expected building land. On the outskirts of the city the direction of flow changes again and goes east again through agriculturally used terrain to the Ilme, partly along the local premises of the Harz-Weser-Werke . The mouth is near the mouth of the Spüligbach .

use

On the upper reaches along today's state road L 549, some apple-bearing street trees line the bank. In this section of the brook around 1900, four rows of fruit trees were planted in parallel as an avenue.

The clean water of the brook that ran outside the city walls was used to wash linen in the early modern period . This is also reflected in the name, if Algiers is derived from clean, sheer ( Middle Low German "schir").

On the bank of the lower course there were areas for bleaching the linen.
