geography
Course and description
The Mühlbach branches off from the Main in front of the weir at Altenkunstadt and runs to the tracks of the Bamberg – Hof railway in a north-westerly direction, where it turns north-eastwards and changes its direction of flow again to the northwest in a large loop in the area of the Burgkunstadter fairground To flow through Burgkunstadter lower town. In the area from the fairground to behind the property at Lichtenfelser Straße 7 , the Mühlbach is channeled underground. The stream flows to Weidnitz along the Lichtenfelser Straße in a north-westerly direction, then turns to the south-west and meanders in the lower reaches to its confluence with the Main, north and across from Strössendorf.
Tributaries
The following three tributaries on the right flow into the Burgkunstadter Mühlbach :
- Gartenbach (with Talleitenbächlein)
- Weihersbach
- Silbergraben
They all arise from springs on the slope to Ebneth , which belongs to the Burkersdorfer Rhätolias hill country . In the lower reaches, all three brooks are channeled and therefore, apart from the Silbergraben , flow underground into the Burgkunstadter Mühlbach.
history
In 1699 a watermill was built on the Mühlbach , later known as the old town mill . It was demolished in 1903 in order to build a three-storey residential and commercial building in the neo-renaissance style in the same place, in which the old pharmacy is now located.
Until 1930, the Mühlbach was also used for garbage disposal by neighboring residents. This led to a grotesque picture, especially in the winter months, as the residents of the lower town dumped their rubbish on the ice in the hope that the Mühlbach would take it with them in the spring. Not least because of this, the city of Burgkunstadt introduced garbage collection on February 18, 1930 .
In the course of minor renovation work on the Baur high-rise, the Mühlbach was piped at this point in 1958 and the newly gained area was converted into a parking lot. The last 400 meter long open section of the Mühlbach in the city center was piped in 1967 and converted into a road. This also enabled parking spaces and back entrances to be created for the newly created commercial buildings, and the particularly strong odor nuisance caused by the Mühlbach in summer ended.
