 Dießenbach or Gönsbach in Langgöns |
||
The Dießenbach or Gönsbach is a right tributary of the Kleebach in Hesse .
Surname
The brook is the namesake for the nearby places Pohl göns , Kirch göns and Lang göns as well as for the Ebers göns, which is not far from its source . The word Göns is probably derived from a Celtic or Old High German name for water or body of water. One assumption is that the Celtic word issa (= water) first became gunissa and then finally göns . According to another assumption, Göns is derived directly from the rare Old High German word gundissa (= "fighting water").
geography
course
The Dießenbach rises northwest of Butzbach at the foot of the Heidelbeerberg ( Hintertaunus ) and flows from there first in an easterly direction to Pohl-Göns. After Pohlgöns it turns north and flows through the villages of Kirch-Göns and Langgöns to flow into the Kleebach at Großen-Linden .
Catchment area
The 16.42 km² catchment area of the Dießenbach lies in the Großenlinden hill country and is drained to the North Sea via the Kleebach, the Lahn and the Rhine .
It borders
- in the northeast to that of the Schafbach , a tributary of the Lückenbach , which flows into the Kleebach
- in the east to that of the Welsbach and that of the Gambach , both of which drain into the Main via the Wetter and the Nidda
- in the southeast to that of the Bockenheimer Bach , also a tributary of the weather
- in the south to that of the Kleinbach weather tributary
