course
The source of the Eschbach is located south of Affinghausen ( joint municipality Schwaförden ). From there it flows in a southerly direction, takes on the Sudwalder Graben and the Hingstbach , flows through Mellinghausen ( Samtgemeinde Siedenburg ) and flows into the Siede at Sieden - directly on the federal highway 214 .
history
During the major fire in a barn in Ohlendorf in September 1967, six neighboring volunteer fire brigades had to fetch the water with a B-hose line from Eschbach, 780 m away. The barn burned down completely, but the adjacent mill could be saved.
