geography

Source area

The northern source branch

The contained source of the Fauerbach

The Fauerbach rises in the Hochtaunus Nature Park within the boundaries of the Butzbach district of Hoch-Weisel at an altitude of 397  m above sea level. NHN a contained spring east of 492.3  m above sea level. NHN high hornbeam head . Its source lies in the soil harvesting hilltops of the eastern Hintertaunus between a foliage belonging to the Butzbach forest on the right and a mixed forest on the left. Seen from the source of the Fauerbach, the Rimbach rises almost one kilometer west-northwest , which drains over the Solmsbach into the Lahn and about one kilometer north-northeast of the western source of the Issel .

The still young stream initially flows south through the forest and after about 400 meters is strengthened on its right by a second spring branch coming from the west.

The western source branch

The source of the western source branch

This western source branch rises at an altitude of almost 450  m above sea level. NHN in a deciduous forest near a forest path of a seepage source ⊙ about half a kilometer east-northeast of the Hesselberg , on which a little southeast of the approximately 518  m above sea level. NHN high summit there is a transmission mast of the Hesselberg radio station , and about the same distance from the 505.1  m above sea level in the west-northwest . NHN high Gickel , over which the watershed between Lahn and Main runs. It flows over half a kilometer in an easterly direction through the forest and then unites at an altitude of almost 380  m above sea level. NHN with the source branch coming from the north ⊙ .

course

The water-bearing Issel (right) flows into the Fauerbach (dry) coming from the left, west

The now unified brook passes the district boundary from Hoch-Weisel to the Butzbach district of Münster , runs almost a kilometer at the western foot of the 414.1  m high hill Lammshard south-southeast through the mixed forest area Lamshart past three Rheokrenen and then turns northeast of the 352  m ü. NHN high spur Nollkopf and about two hundred meters north of the district youth home to the east. The home was built at the beginning of the 20th century by Ernst and Lisa Sommerlad as a "Hubertus" hunting lodge and equipped with a lounge, guest rooms, bowling alley and a dance hall. In 1949, the then Friedberg district bought the hunting lodge and then used it as one of the first Hessian youth guest houses. The source of the Forbach is a good hundred meters south of the home .

The stream now runs for a good kilometer in an easterly direction in a narrow strip of green, which is accompanied on the right and left by mixed forest, through the Flur Im Metzenhain . It leaves the forest and is fed from the left at the Seewiese corridor by the Issel approaching from the northwest (at river kilometers 7.3).

The Fauerbach now flows through wet meadows in the Flur Im Lochsee and a little later the former "Pistorius'schen Teich" which was silted up in the 1930s and which already existed in the 16th century and served as a mill pond . The former pond, from which the dam and the enclosure with a hawthorn hedge have been preserved, is now a wet grassland overgrown with rushes . In front of the dam there is a stream coming from the southwest, which rises from a swampy spot in the grassland of the Simm district near the state road 3353. It flows into the Fauerbach from the right.

View from the east: The Lochmühle

The brook then runs past the Lochmühle ( Lochmühlenstraße 48 ) to the northwest of the closed village of Munster , whose grinding operation has been suspended for a long time. The remaining buildings form a three-sided courtyard, including a half-timbered building from the mid-19th century that serves as a residential building. To the east of the mill there are one and two-family houses in a weekend settlement .

He crosses under Lochmühlenstrasse , which will accompany him on his way to Münster, and moves southwest through the meadows of the Flur Im Löchel past the Hessenmühle . The Hessenmühle is used today as an agricultural farm. The stream now crosses the Kuhhohlweg , flows dead straight through grassland and reaches almost three hundred meters down the stream to the locality of Münster. Philippseck Castle used to stand there about three hundred meters further east on a small mountain . It was an early modern fortress-like castle that Landgrave Philip III. von Hessen-Butzbach had it built between 1626 and 1628 according to his own plans. Only very small remains of the complex have survived.

The stream first flows through the village above ground up to Isselbachgasse and then disappears underground. In Borngasse it comes to light on the eastern edge of the village and leaves Münster in a fortified stream bed to the east. He crosses the Friedhofsweg and is a constant companion of the laid in the 1990s, on the right bank main sewer , the wastewater from Münster together with the other Butzbacher district Fauerbach of heights operated pond treatment plant transported. Today a tarred path is laid out on the sewage collector , which as a cycle path is a less demanding alternative to the Limes cycle path over the Münsterer Hohlweg and Grabelicksweg and is also used by agricultural vehicles as well as for hiking and walking. The Fauerbach is squeezed into a stone-lined bed, the shoulders of herbs, shrubs, blackberries and wild roses overgrown with herbs, shrubs, blackberries, and wild roses for almost the entire section to Fauerbach and below the village to the Ober-Mörler municipality boundary. Its expansion in the Münster area took place around 1910 in the course of a land consolidation process . The bottom of the brook was fixed with vertically positioned slabs of quartzite slate, the banks were secured by planting alder trees on both sides . The expansion ended at the municipal boundary, at a stone bridge, in front of a rocky hill, the "Wingertsberg." The next expansion step took place 60 years later as part of a land consolidation in the Fauerbach area. The bottom of the stream and the lower part of the embankment were paved with often irregularly shaped basalt stones.

About 50 meters below the cemetery path, a stream that sometimes carries water flows from the right and south out of the fields south and above the Wolfsäcker development area . A few decimeters below that, the outlet of an RÜ also flows from the right , about 350 meters further from the left and north a ditch that receives the outflows of Kreisstraße 15 from Hoch-Weisel at the cemetery and Münsterer Hohlweg (in Fauerbach it is the Grabelicksweg ). Structures such as a ditch and reed bed can be seen below the cemetery, which point to former springs near the cemetery or south of the church, which dried up due to expansion measures, e.g. the creation of allotment gardens - or are evidence that the Fauerbach used to flow further north, as shown in map 14 of the "Grand Duke of Hesse" from the first half of the 19th century. At 5.5 km it reaches the steep flanks of the rocky Wingertsberg, which it has to flow around to the south and thus reach the Unter der Mühl district , which is followed by the Über den Erlen district . In this, to the south and above the Landesstraße 3353 or Münsterer Straße, a stream that carries water at times rises, which flows into the Fauerbach from the right at km 5.15. There is an old Fauerbach waterworks on it. To the west of the village is the sports field on the right bank. Here the distance between the stream and the cycle path increases to 20 meters, there is a small weir in the stream at km 4.62, which is an insurmountable obstacle for fish to migrate. On a cross country lane on the outskirts of the village, the Fauerbach is directed to the southeast over 40 meters in an underground tunnel. At the end of this, ditches from the street drainage and the drainage of the fields south of the Alte Allee or Landesstraße 3353 flow out. After 15 meters outdoors, in a channel of trapezoidal cross-section fortified with basalt stones, the Fauerbach disappears again under the earth. In the event of floods, a sieve can be folded in front of the inlet in order to prevent any bulky floating debris carried along from conceivably clogging the covered stream. (The geoportal of the state of Hesse, see Fauerbach (Usa) #Maps , still shows the property on which the brook used to openly accompany Bottengasse and the through-town on the street Am Fauerbach , mapcode VJ70L.PJZ0.)

At the end of the town in Münster, in Borngasse, there is the old fire department equipment house. This corresponds to the fire brigade equipment house at the entrance to Fauerbach, on the street Am Mühlgraben , directly northeast on the first cover of the Fauerbach.

In the Vordergasse the Fauerbach comes back to the daylight and leaves the town eastwards in a canal between house facades, where there are still old gardens on the left bank and single-family houses on the right bank. The gardens in the "Am Pfuhlgraben" district continue as modern allotment gardens on the left bank to Friedberger Weg , at whose old bridge they change to the right bank. In front of it, several footbridges lead over the Fauerbach, which allow access to the gardens from the dirt path on the right bank, under which the main collector of the Münster and Fauerbach sewage runs. (At the bridge is the natural monument no. 440.118 , "2 lime trees on the bridge.") About 150 meters below the outlet of the Fauerbacher RÜ opens from the right . This is accompanied by a comprehensive change in the landscape, the Fauerbach now enters a wide, flat and intensively cultivated arable landscape. Tree growth is rarely found on the approximately 2 meter deep canal with a trapezoidal cross-section.

One of the rare trees, a willow , is at 3.78 km, where the Riedgraben joins a right curve from the left . About 400 meters further east, the outlet of the pond treatment plant for cleaning the wastewater from Münster and Fauerbach and the Steinlachsgraben flow. The next 2 km in the "Frankengrund", on the northern edge of which, on the boundary of Ostheim , where the Teichmühle once stood with its own mill pond , is monotonous. Between the dead straight sections there are some bends that align the direction of travel in sections from east to south, there are high seats in some trees, and occasionally a field path crosses the stream on a simple girder bridge made of reinforced concrete with a low parapet. From about 2.5 km the border of the Wetterau NSG Magertrift runs from Ober-Mörlen and Ostheim at a distance of 50-100 meters . At km 1.7 the Fauerbach is integrated into the NSG and now forms its southern western border, at km 1.56 it is over again. In this wooded part of the NSG between the hill of the "Galgenberg" and the canalised course, the course of the brook has been renatured to compensate for an intervention elsewhere, so that it can now meander in the middle of the forest between two widely spaced dams or berms . The old course ran right on the edge of the forest and still exists as a cut dry channel between two piled up dams. At the border with Ober-Mörlen, km 1.3, the renatured section will be reconnected to its old bed, which is now partly in the open, partly made up of alders and other trees. The streambed is not paved, the run is erratic. There are fishing ponds on both banks that tap into the Fauerbach several times. In the NSG there is an approximately 0.3 hectare pond, which is bordered by a dam in the south and is easily accessible via an old stone bridge. To the south of the hill, around km 0.6-0.8, there are further, smaller, ponds on the left bank. Between the bridge over the Fauerbach here and the border to Butzbach, trees gnawed and laid down by beavers as well as dams they created and other traces of their activities can be observed under cover of darkness. Around the southern tip of the hill, the "Wingert" of the "Galgenberg," the Fauerbach bends to the left and east-northeast. On the right bank of sports facilities have been built in the area to Hüftersheimer mill, located on the left bank an orchard in which Speier Linge and a service tree stand. At the Weinstrasse the Fauerbach turns right to the southeast. The last 200 meters of bed on the southwest side of the Wine Route up to the confluence with the USA are unpaved, but they give the impression of an artificial installation.

The Fauerbach flows into Ober-Mörlen at km 12.3 at an altitude of around 170  m above sea level. NHN in the USA . Its 9.8 km long run ends about 227 meters below its source, so it has a mean bed gradient of about 23 ‰.
