geography

course

The Fuhne has no spring, but rather an apex area fed by surface and seepage water from a wetland. From this pseudobifurcation east of Zehbitz , its western part flows to the Saale, which it reaches in the Dröbel part of the city of Bernburg (Saale) . The eastern part flows in Jeßnitz into the Spittelwasser , a tributary of the Mulde (river) .

The Mulde and Saale are direct tributaries of the Elbe . Until the 1990s, the eastern part of the Fuhne was considered polluted due to the discharge of industrial wastewater.

The Fuhne has a length of 55 km, of which the western part is about 42.9 km, the eastern part 12.15 km.

Western Fuhne

The western course of the Fuhne flows predominantly through rural areas and describes a total of almost a semicircle, first to the southwest to north of Zörbig , then a long stretch to the west to the vicinity of Löbejün, then to the northwest to the vicinity of Könnern, and finally to the north to the mouth near Bernburg.

Lateral tributaries contribute significantly to their water flow.

• Just 2 km after the apex, a 3 km long nameless stream flows from Löberitz (district of the town of Zörbig ), which is often mistaken for the upper reaches of the Fuhne.
• Also from the left, 6.7 km after the apex, the 34.3 km long Strengbach flows , which now rises near Glesien at the edge of Leipzig / Halle Airport and together with the subsequent Fuhnelauf forms the longest flow path in their system, 72.5 km.
• The next noteworthy tributary is the almost 7 km long Nesselbach from Prosigk from the north, which flows into Cösitz .
• The 23 km long vineyard rises in the south at Oppin near Halle (Saale) and flows out at Glauzig .
• The Ziethe flows into the northward lower reaches near Plömnitz . It arises from branches from the Libbesdorfer Landgraben and is itself 25.5 km long , from its sources in Quellendorf 28.4 km long.

Eastern Fuhne

The eastern Fuhne has an S-shaped course and passes the industrial area near Bitterfeld : northeast to Salzfurtkapelle , east-southeast to the Dessau-Leipzig railway line and then a short distance northeast to the confluence with the Spittelwasser . It does not have large tributaries. Shortly before this mouth, it is crossed by the shaft ditch.

Origin of name

There are various theories about the origin of the river name. Possibly the name is based on a combination of the Middle High German terms fon or fun or fûl (lazy, putrid) and ahâ (watercourse, river, water), which allows the interpretation of "swamp river", which refers to the location of the water in a swamp area alludes. Another theory suggests the origin of the name in the Gothic funins (fire), according to which the name of the river could mean "shining water".

Historically, however, the development of the spelling from Fona via Fonam , Vona , Vonam , Uonam , Vůne and Voynen to today's word Fuhne .
