Dreimühlenbach
The Dreimühlenbach in Munich was one of the Munich city streams .
course
The Dreimühlenbach was 2,429 m long, 6.42 m wide and 1.22 m deep. It carried an average of 8.9 m³ / s of water and had a gradient of 0.25%.
Unlike the other Munich city streams, the Dreimühlenbach did not draw its water from the Great City Stream , but directly from the Isar . The derivation was roughly at the height of today's Franz-von-Rinecker-Strasse. From there, the brook first flowed roughly parallel to the Isar, then to the Großer Stadtbach, from which it moved away at the level of the southern thermal power station and flowed west of Schäftlarnstrasse through the area of today's wholesale market hall . The further course essentially followed Dreimühlenstraße, at the corner of Dreimühlenstraße and Isartalstraße the brook flowed into the Große Stadtbach.
history
Originally the Dreimühlenbach was probably an independent branch of the Isar, which was then canalized for use as a Mühlbach. A mill on the stream was mentioned as early as the 13th century, the name Dreimühlenbach has been documented since 1712. It is derived from the three mills that were on the creek: the Brudermühle, the Aumühle and the Oberen Kaiblmühle. The millers of these mills were solely responsible for the maintenance of the stream, but did not have to take part in the maintenance of the other city streams, so they had a certain degree of independence.
In 1898 the Dreimühlenbach was already introduced on the railway line into the Große Stadtbach, the section north of it was abandoned. In 1921 the remaining part of the brook was abandoned for the construction of Isarwerke 2 and 3 , but the brook bed was not filled until 1952.
