geography

The brook rises on the northeastern roof of the Eifel about 2 km northwest of Gey in the municipality of Hürtgenwald . The source is at an altitude of 225  m above sea level. NN . Flowing to the northeast, the stream reaches the area of ​​the Gürzenich Bundeswehr Depot after about 700 m . Here the stream is first directed to the north and then in the northern area along a road through the depot. After leaving the Bundeswehr area, the stream continues to flow in a north-easterly direction along a dirt road. After reaching the Hubertushof, the Gürzenich Bach crosses under the Schevenhüttener Strasse and then flows along the road to Gürzenich.

In the local area of ​​Gürzenich the brook follows the course of the Schillingstraße. In the southwestern section, the stream flows largely underground. The Trierbach flows here on the right . In the northeast section, the stream runs in the middle of the road in an artificial stream bed. From the confluence of the Neue Aue road , the stream flows more in a northerly direction, then crosses under the federal road 264 and the parallel railway line . Then the run bends to the east to flow around the sports field and archery range. Running parallel to Mirweilerweg and Dr.-Christian-Seybold-Straße, the stream reaches its confluence with the Lendersdorf mill pond . From this some water is knocked off and led to the Rur as Gürzenich Bach .

With a height difference of 105 m, the mean bed gradient of the creek is 13.8 ‰. The 11.778 km² catchment area is drained to the North Sea via Lendersdorfer Mühlenteich, Rur and Maas .
