geography
course
The Gehnbach rises in the quarry forest between St. Ingbert and Neuweiler and flows from the source in a south or south-east direction to the Rohrbach. It takes in some smaller tributaries from the right. In the area of the slag mountain, the Gehnbach is piped and built over by an industrial area. In the area of the Alte Schmelz it is also largely built over before it flows into the Rohrbach.
Tributaries
- Bruchwaldbach ( right ), 0.5 km
- Kreuzbrunnenbach ( right ), 1.1 km
Historical limit
The Gehnbach still forms in some sections the border between the urban area of St. Ingbert and Sulzbach and thus between the Saarpfalz district and the Saarbrücken city association . Before the French Revolution , this was the border between Nassau-Saarbrücken and the Grfsch. Blieskastel . In the First Peace of Paris in 1814, the Gehnbach became part of the border between France and Germany. After the Congress of Vienna until 1919, the border between the Prussian Rhine Province and the Bavarian Rhine District ran here .
A boundary stone hiking trail largely follows the boundary that can be read on the old boundary stones.
