The Drusel (also known as the Kleine Fulda in the lower reaches ) is an 11.4 km long orographically left or western tributary of the Fulda in the independent city of Kassel in northern Hesse ( Germany ).
course
Source: The Drusel rises in the Hohe Habichtswald . Its source is around 250 m to the northwest or below the Ziegenkopfs ( 564.7 m above sea level ), which belongs to the Kassel city area or the Bad Wilhelmshöhe district, at an altitude of around 520 m . From there it is around 450 m (distances as the crow flies ) to the Roter Stollen ( 562.5 m ) hikers' car park in the west-northwest , which is named after the former Roter Stollen colliery .
Upper course: The Drusel flows eastwards in the direction of Kassel through the wooded Druseltal, in which it is probably the extreme southernmost limit of the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe . In the forest valley it flows through the Wilhelmshöher district of Neuholland . There, at the Druselbach kilometer 9.95, the artificially created Aschgraben branches off from the Drusel, which runs eastward on the northern flank of the valley to the Asch mountain pond on the Hunrodsberg (approx. 430 m ) - the moat and pond are part of the Kassel water games held in the mountain park .
Because the Druseltal below Neuholland is very narrow in the direction of the valley exit between the Hotel Neue Drusel and the Augustinum senior citizens' residence and the rather wide road Im Druseltal is laid out there, the stream runs underground in some places in the area of the road - for the first time in its course.
Middle course: After leaving the Habichtswald - around the brook kilometers 7.9 to 7.8 (approx. 340 m ) - the Drusel turns to the northeast in the district of Mulang , which belongs to Bad Wilhelmshöhe. It runs roughly along the streets Hugo-Preuß-Straße , Brabanter Straße , An den Eichen and Baunsbergstraße .
In Wilhelmshoeher local district Wahlershausen the Drusel flows for a piece of subterranean course, located in the region of its first crossing of Wilhelm Allee between the stream kilometers 5.8 and 5.5 of the intersection ( 205.9 m ) of the avenue with the Baunsbergstraße is, along from Lange Straße and Bachstraße , after which it runs eastwards from the intersection of Kirchditmolder Straße . Then it crosses under the Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe train station between the stream kilometers 4.6 and 4.5 (approx. 182 m ), among other things, the high-speed line Hanover – Kassel – Würzburg and the Heßbergstrasse .
After the railway tracks it flows in the district of Vorderer Westen in the area of Graf-Bernadotte-Platz to the north past the Federal Social Court (former military district service building of the General Command ) or a little to the west past the Aschrottpark .
Immediately in front of Graf-Bernadotte-Platz or Dag-Hammarskjöld-Straße there , the Drusel flows into an underground canal that initially crosses the Heinrich Schütz School diagonally and then flows under the Goetheanlage (piping 1932). The flowing water steers in a slightly northwest-southeast direction, also diagonally under Wilhelmshöher Allee , where it enters the Wehlheiden district .
Subsequently, the Drusel between Kirchweg and Tischbeinstraße - in the area of the Schönfelder Straße crossed by the brook, between the Druselbach kilometers 2.9 and 2.5 (approx. 158– 152 m ) - is still canalized, but again laid out above ground. Shortly before Gräfestraße meets Tischbeinstraße , it flows back into an underground canal built in 1928, after which it flows under the last-mentioned street at the Langenbeckstraße junction, approximately in an easterly direction into the Südstadt district .
Lower course: In the southern part of the city, the Drusel initially flows underground along Tischbeinstraße and Philosophenweg , and after crossing Frankfurter Straße ( B 3 ), from the junction of Landaustrasse, it is finally followed by the foot and cycle path An der Karlsaue (approx. 140 m ), which is further downstream to run above ground again. From then on, it flows below the vineyard in an oxbow of the Fulda canalized - and now also called Kleine Fulda - in a north-easterly direction through the northern part of the Karlsaue . In this originally baroque park, it passes directly to the northwest the Orangery Castle ( 139.6 m ) and the Hessenkampfbahn sports field .
Estuary: Finally , the Drusel flows into the northern edge of the southern part of the city below the Kassel regional council between the wire bridge and the Rondell or the Karl Branner bridge there, at around 137 m above sea level near Fulda, river kilometer 28.3, into the western Weser source river Fulda .
History and origin of name
Headwaters: flowing through the upper Druseltal in which the natural Drusel, formerly frequented the Herkulesbahn , as meter gauge railway freight ( mine nbetrieb) and individuals ( tourism ) between Kassel and Hercules and transported in Habichtswald. Since the Middle Ages, the now buried, artificially created Druselgraben branched off near the Aschrott Park . From here it led to the Druselturm , from where its water was distributed in gutters in the city.
Lower course: The name Kleine Fulda (name of the Drusel lower course) comes from the historical development of the Karlsaue when the Fulda flowed around it on both sides as part of an inland delta . The western arm of the river was called Kleine Fulda . With the further development and design of the park in the Middle Ages , this arm was partially filled in and the kitchen ditch was created in the former river bed of the Kleine Fulda , a very elongated pond that still exists . The northern end of this former arm of the river is still - canalised - preserved as the Drusel lower course and still bears the name Kleine Fulda .
