The Gader ( Ladin Ghaidra or Gran Ega - "Big Water", Italian Gadera ) is a river in South Tyrol ( Italy ). It flows through the entire Gadertal and reaches the Pustertal near St. Lorenzen , where it flows into the Rienza . With a length of 34.7 kilometers and a catchment area of around 390 km², the Gader is the largest left-hand tributary of the Rienza.
The Gader flows into the Rienza at St. Lorenzen . The most important tributaries of the Gader are the St. Kassianer Bach ( Rü de San Ćiascian ), the Wengener Bach ( Rü de Ćiampló ), the Vigilbach ( Rü d'Al Plan ), the Pisciadùbach ( Rü de Pisciadù ), the Campiller Bach ( Rü de Lungiarü ) and the Untermoibach ( Rü d'Antermëia ). The most important places on the Gader are Corvara , St. Martin in Thurn ( San Martin de Tor ) and Zwischenwasser .
The different creek names in the source area are a bit confusing. The tributary Rü Tort ( Brunnenbach ) rises south of Corvara. The Rü de Pisciadù rises from the Sella massif . The St. Kassianer Bach flows into Stern ( La Ila ), but it also has other Ladin names and is referred to in some maps as the upper reaches of the Gader, which then rises in the Fanes group. From Stern, the stream will then be called Gader for good.
According to the South Tyrolean linguist Lois Craffonara , the name of the brook can be traced back to a square settlement from the late Roman period or the early Middle Ages in St. Martin, from the Latin word quadra . However, these assumptions are contradicted in recent research and instead pointed to the Carolingian method of field surveying in the Tyrolean Alpine region , which only led to quadra-like divisions in the early Middle Ages . The river name became the name of the whole valley with the associated brook.
