The Dreierwalder Aa (section names : Ledder Mühlenbach - Ibbenbürener Aa - Hörsteler Aa ) is a 36.1 km long orographic left tributary of the Speller Aa in the Westphalian region of Tecklenburger Land , Germany .
geography
The Dreierwalder Aa rises as Ledder Mühlenbach in the northwestern end of the Teutoburg Forest about 3 km northeast of Tecklenburg and about 2.3 km northwest of Leeden at an altitude of 114 m above sea level. NN . After passing Wöstemeier on the northeastern edge of the village, the Ledder Mühlenbach reaches Ledde . The river passes the village on the northern outskirts. The Ledder Mühlenteich is surrounded by the Mühlenbach. From Ledde the river flows a short distance to the west. It changes its name and is now called Ibbenbürener Aa (from stationing kilometer 29.7).
As Ibbenbürener Aa, the river continues to flow in a north-westerly direction. Before the river reaches Ibbenbüren , it passes under the federal motorway 30 . About one kilometer further downstream, on the southern outskirts of Ibbenbüren, the river flows through the Aasee after about 10 km . This was created as rain retention water when the motorway was built and is now used as a local recreation area. While Ibbenbüren flows around on the southern edge of the village, the river passes the village of Schierloh on the northern edge of the village. Further on, flowing in a north-westerly direction, the river changes its name again at Püsselbüren and is called Hörsteler Aa (from stationing kilometer 16.6).
The Jordanbach coming from the Dickenberg and the Stollenbach of the former Westfeld join behind Püsselbüren . The river crosses under the Mittelland Canal with a culvert . The culvert of the old voyage was bombed repeatedly during World War II in order to cause the canal to run out, which was also successful. Around 1990 the Mittelland Canal was relocated a little to defuse the numerous duds .
About one kilometer after crossing under the Mittelland Canal, the river reaches Hörstel . Here the course of the river turns in a northerly direction. At Ostenwalde the Bärenortsgraben and the Bodelschwingh tunnel flow into the Aa. Here the river turns west again. At around the mouth of the Poggenortgraben , the river changes its name again and is now called Dreierwalder Aa (from station km 7.5).
The Aa Dreierwalde flows through it again in a north-westerly direction . A little later it passes the border with Lower Saxony and flows out at 32 m above sea level. NN on the left in the Speller Aa.
On its 36.1 km long path, the Dreierwalder Aa overcomes a height difference of 82 m, which corresponds to a mean bed gradient of 2.3 ‰. It drains a 138.946 km² catchment area via Speller Aa and Ems to the North Sea .
burden
Heavily salty pit water is discharged from the eastern field of the Ibbenbüren mine between Ibbenbüren and Püsselbüren . The water flow increases here by an average of 0.4 m³ / s to 1.78 m³ / s. The chloride load is around 600 tons per day. With a water quality class of III-IV, the Aa is considered "very heavily polluted". The salinity corresponds to that of the central Baltic Sea . Only a few specialized plant and animal species can survive in this environment.
