course

The brook comes from a headwaters south of the Hagenbach . The longest and highest spring arm rises at a height of almost 53 meters. After the confluence with three source arms, some of which arise from several source arms, the name Brummeckebach can be proven for the first time. Here a swamp is flown through from 491 meters. At a height of 475 meters, a tributary from the Harzhochstraße flows into the stream, which now follows the course of the same street to its confluence with the B 81 . The B 81 is crossed under , the Sellegraben added and the Brummeckebach roughly follows the course of the B 81, crosses under the B 242 and shortly afterwards, north of Bocksmühle, joins the Hassel.

Origin of name

The Annex - bach is unique, but the origin of the word reason is unclear. However, the name is also more frequently represented in a modified form, but also as a Brummecke , west of the Weser. According to one possible explanation, the basic word is then -beke (in Scandinavia and England also as -bekkir). Other forms are -mecke or -micke , -bike , -bek (e) , -eke , -ke . There is a word formation with the diminutive syllable -key , which has partly lost its fuller form due to abrasion. A Beck is "like the beak on the ridge from which it comes."
