The Götzinger Achen or Götzinger Ache is an approx. 31 km long river in the Traunstein district in Bavaria , which flows from the Waginger See near Petting and flows into the lower Salzach from the left and from the south in the area of ​​the town of Tittmoning .

Surname

The name goes back to the village of Götzing in the municipality of Fridolfing , which is on the left of the middle course.

geography

course

The river flows from the - with its smaller upper part Tachinger See together - 6.5 km² large Waginger See in a shallow water zone at the southeast end at 442  m above sea level. NHN . Between flood protection dams it first runs past Petting in an easterly direction. At the Solitude of Unverzug near Petting, the Eisgraben joins here from the right . About two and a half kilometers after the lake, it turns north between the hamlets of Kirchhof and Spöck, which belong to Petting . He soon moved to the parish of Kirchanschöring . After the hamlet of Zeifen, it is dammed, and a power station canal branches off from the small lake in an easterly direction towards the village of Lebenau in the municipality of Fridolfing , the water of which then flows into the Salzach.

The Ache itself runs in a more northerly direction through the center of Kirchanschöring, at whose northern end the Rodingbach flows from the right at the Bannmühle . On the run below, which is very winding, he changes over to the Fridolfing area, where he passes the eponymous village of Götzing on the right at the crossing of the TS 26 district road. A little below it it leaves its small valley basin and changes to the north-east course in the wide left river plain of the Salzach. He only touches the settlement area of ​​the parish village Fridolfing in the north-west near its upper mill. From the small village of Kelchham in the municipality on the left bank, it enters the floodplain forest to the left of the Salzach and now runs roughly parallel to the northwest outside the flood dam, usually a distance of less than half a kilometer from it. After crossing over to the district of the city of Tittmoning , it still reaches its 12 km long tributary Stillbach from the left and south . Less than a kilometer and a half later, it flows into the lower Salzach from the left in the floodplain forest east of Tittmoning .

From a hydrological point of view, the body of water is only the lower reaches of a series of rivers and streams from the source of the Waginger See; these are v. a. the Igelsbach arising near Lampertsham in the municipality of Palling and the Tenglinger Bach, so that the river system together with the Waginger See and the Götzinger Achen has a total length of almost 45 km.

On average, the Götzinger Achen supplies the Salzach with a little less than 3 m³ / s of water. The mean bed slope from Waginger See is 2.2 ‰. A level (measuring point number: 18683000) is located at the Pettinger Einöde Unverzug.

history

Outflow of the Waginger See before lowering

The power of the Götzinger Ache was used to operate water mills well into the 20th century . In the hamlet of Zeifen, Gde. Kirchanschöring , there is the eponymous former Mühlenhof Zeifen, now a listed building, in the immediate vicinity of which the course of the Mühlbach can still be seen, which once cut off the river bend.
In Eizing near Fridolfing , the mill of the Aicher family still reminds of this tradition, but today the mill is no longer powered by water power.
Below the hamlet of Spöck in the municipality of Petting, there is a small barrage near the sewage treatment plant, where a turbine still generates electricity today.
Another small reservoir just before Kirchanschöring serves as a water reservoir for a power station near Lebenau, to which the water is fed via a canal which then flows into the Salzach nearby.
In Kirchanschöring another canal branches off as Mühlbach to the adjacent district with the eponymous Bannmühle, whose water is returned to the Ache.

In 1867 the outflow of the Waginger See , i.e. the beginning of the Götzinger Ache, was lowered, and the water level of the Waginger See sank by about 2 meters. As a result, around 370 days of fresh land (125 hectares) and 600 days of wet meadows could be cultivated.

Aue

With the exception of the forest and alluvial forest sections , an ecologically intact bank strip is only available in individual sections. Often there are buildings or cultivated fields on the edge of the Götzinger Ache, to a small extent v. a. in the upper reaches to Kirchanschöring, also forest. The strip of shore is then often limited to the embankment . However, in the area of ​​the Kirchanschöringer Senke, the Götzinger Ache is characterized by particularly natural and meadow-like conditions. From Fridolfing to the Salzachaue , the floodplain of the Götzinger Ache was cleared by dykes and straightening. From Kelchham the Götzinger Ache flows in an oxbow system of the Salzach.

In the area of ​​the municipality of Kirchanschöring, one or the other protected beaver has found a tasty field of activity in the tree vegetation of the floodplains of the Götzinger Ache since the turn of the millennium.

Economic use

In the upper reaches a barrage with a small power station supplies the hamlet of Spöck with electricity, v. a. the sawmill operated there.

In Lebenau, a hamlet in the southern municipality of Fridolfing , there is a hydropower plant operated by E.ON Bayern , which is fed by two canals , one of them from the Götzinger Ache. The underwater flows directly into the Salzach and not back into the Götzinger Ache.

Flood disasters

With the construction of the flood dam on the Salzach , the danger of flooding in the villages and hamlets in the Salzach Valley was largely averted. The risk of flooding now existed “only” from a backwater from the Götzinger Ache.
In the municipality of Fridolfing , the Dorfbach and Götzinger Ache repeatedly leaked after heavy rainfall. At the same time backwater through the Salzach resulted in flood disasters like in the years 1920, 1922, 1940, 1959, 1960 and 1985.
The largest flood disaster of the 20th century on the Götzinger Ache with devastating damage occurred on the 8th – 10th. July 1954. After days of heavy rainfall, the brook overflowed its banks at Niederwinkeln , gathered in the Fridolfinger Dorfbach and flowed through the town as a raging river. A large part of Fridolfing was under water. In addition to building and road damage, also in the upper reaches of the Kirchanschöring municipality, the wooden bridge in Zeifen between Reichersdorf and Frohnholzen and another footbridge were completely destroyed.

particularities

The property boundaries by the water are often still determined by the mean water line. The Götzinger Ache is popular with sport fishermen , who can find all the fish from the barbel region here.
