Knipperbach 1.7 km (with Brunsbach 3.4 km), 4.3 km², 59.9 l / s

  • Brunsbach ( right source stream , main line ), 1.7 km, 1.3 km², 20 l / s

The bridge

The stream is routed about 150 meters in front of the railway tunnel between Hopesthal and Honrath by means of a bridge over the Cologne – Gummersbach railway line. In the further course the brook changes three times underground to the other side of the railway line.

The creek in the area of ​​the Hopesthal outdoor pool

When the open-air swimming pool in Hopesthal was set up in 1937 to promote tourism, the water was fed by the Knipperbach. Filter systems ensured that the polluted water of the stream was cleaned. With the renovation of the baths in 1966, the stream water was replaced by drinking water. Since then, the Knipperbach has been piped under the swimming pool and the Rotdornallee to the main street in Hoffnungsthal. On the other side of the main road, the stream flows above ground again, past the old mayor's office and flows into the Sülz at the Sülzbrücke.
