The Frischhofsbach is a left tributary of the Ems in Rheine .

course

The stream rises north of the center of Burgsteinfurt and flows in a north-easterly direction to the Ems. It flows through the Hollich farming community in Steinfurt, crosses the southern tip of the Neuenkirchen community in Clemenshafen and reaches the Ems between the Rhine districts of Hauenhorst and Mesum . In Clemenshafen the brook crosses the Max-Clemens-Canal and the Münsterländer gravel sand train .

Surname

"Freischholz Bach" on a map from 1842

The name Frischhofsbach goes back to a spelling mistake made by a cartographer who used this term on a map. The original name was about "Freischholz Bach", after the former common land "dat vreesche Holt", which the brook flows through. The once huge forest area was called "vreesche Holt" or "free wood" and that meant something like "wood of fright".

Cooperation between agriculture and water management

The drinking water pumping from the Münsterländer gravel sand drift exceeds the natural groundwater recharge . That is why water is taken from the Frischhofsbach in Hauenhorst and discharged into the infiltration basin on the gravel sand train in Neuenkirchen. To ensure long-term good water quality in the stream, the first cooperation between agriculture and water management in North Rhine-Westphalia was established in the catchment area of ​​the Frischhofsbach (30 km²) on June 30, 1990 .
