Right tributaries Gehrenbach

The Brumbach , also Brombach, is an orographically right tributary of the Wipper . The name of the brook is proven as Brunbach, Brunbeko (1400) and Brumpach (1580).

The strongly meandering river largely follows the course of the stream from behind the horses' heads to Wippraer Bahnhofstrasse. In the area of ​​the Brumbach desert , in the area of ​​the Brumbachswiesen, in line with the results of the land inspection, amelioration was deliberately avoided.

course

Which source arm is considered to be the actual source of the stream is not entirely clear. The official topographical map designates a long left source arm, which rises 394.8 meters from two very short source arms, as Brumbach. According to the Academy of Sciences of the GDR and the Historical Commission of the Saxon Academy of Sciences , the origin is to be found in the area of ​​the Brumbachswiesen. The Brumbach then rises in the area of ​​the horses' heads , near the Brumbach desert - which was named after the brook. A source arm rises here at a height of 340 meters in a swamp area. Another possibility would be the 1.1 km long spring arm that flows into the swamp area on the right side and rises at the Frauenwarte .

The next noteworthy spring arms flow into the Kuhschwanzwiese (left about 2 km - sometimes called Brumbach here, right 1.5 km, left) into the Brumbach. After some small tributaries have been taken up in the Hurenholz , the Gehrenbach flows into the Brumbach at the foot of the Mohrungsberg , east-northeast of the summit. In the further course an unnamed tributary flows on the right, about 850 m as the crow flies east-northeast from the summit of the Rabenkoppe , at an altitude of 272.7 m into the Brumbach. This divides into two arms. In the right-hand side, after about 20 meters, a tributary of the Gehrensbach flows into the Brumbach, which now continues to flow a little northwest, only to wind again more north at the foot of the Mönchsberg - after the two arms have reunited. The length of the division is about 700 meters 0.7 flow kilometers. The stream bends to the south-west, winds in several bends again to north west to with an almost right-angled bend to northeast after about a further 50 meters, the Wippra Bahnhofstrasse (junction just north L 230 ), in the field of Friesendorf in the Wipperdorf to flow out.

Tributaries

The Brumbach has a large number of small and very small tributaries. Only those with names and their own larger tributaries are listed.

Origin of name

The name of the stream is derived from the Old High German brūn (brown). In the absence of old evidence, it cannot be determined whether the name originally contained the Old High German brunno (source). Hence, it is not clear whether the brown refers to the color of the river water or the source.
