course

source

Today's Brunnbach has its sources on the Isar high bank in the former Montgelas Garden in today's Herzogpark . At the beginning of the stream, several private properties are crossed, on which the stream is partially contained in pipes. This is followed by a public green area on the Brunnbachleite. Behind the inn in the Grüntal, which was closed in 2010, the stream runs through private properties, then it follows the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal in a straight line , flows through the area of ​​St. Emmeram and after about 500 meters becomes a culvert under the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal passed through.

On the Oberföhring Isar island there, it supplies a pond with a pumping station in the listed former Oberföhring raft keeper's house. Most of its water comes to the surface north of the St. Emmeram Bridge from a stone mouth designed as a fountain and flows into the Isar in two arms .

history

Until the end of the 19th century, the Brunnbach began near Bad Brunnthal in the lower Bogenhausen and, like today, flows into the Isar behind St. Emmeram. In the Grüntal and St. Emmeram , there is evidence that four mills were operated with water from the Brunnbach between the 10th and 19th centuries.

With the development of the Herzogpark, the Brunnbach north of the Montgelasstraße was filled in. The former upper course of the Brunnbach in the Maximiliansanlagen is today a separate stream and bears the name Brunnthaler Quellbach or Quellenbach . At Steinbacherstraße it flows into the small Steinbacher pond , which is divided into two parts , from which an underground drainage leads south of the Max-Joseph-Brücke into the Isar.

The water was considered medicinal water due to its purity. As a result, Brunnthal became a well-known spa in the 17th century, and its operation was not stopped until 1914. The springs of the Brunnbach are still of drinking water quality today.

In the course of the disclosure of the Munich city streams in the 1990s, a renaturation of the Brunnbach was also discussed. It was not until more than 10 years later that the section from Abaco to Opitzstraße was relocated to a new creek bed and is now located within the urban green area.

The Brunnbach served Thomas Mann as a model for the brook in his story Herr und Hund .
