The Gieseler is a 12.9 km long left tributary of the Lippe in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany .

swell

The source area of the Gieseler is located approx. 250 m north of the former Hellweg , today's Bundesstraße 1 , near Eikeloh . Its water arises in the forested headwaters in several individual springs. The most productive of the Giesel springs are the so-called "Blue Kolk" and a spring that is used by the Lippstadt municipal utilities to obtain drinking water. The "Blue Kolk" is almost circular and has a diameter of about 10 m. It owes its name to the blue-green karst water that springs from it. The 4.9 hectare headwaters of the Gieseler have been under nature protection since 1982 due to its geological characteristics and importance as a habitat for wild animal and plant species . After a few hundred meters, the Gieselerwasser is dammed up at the "Hof zur Osten" to generate electricity, before the river on the southwestern edge of Bökenförde picks up the " Pöppelsche ". After 12.9 km the Gieseler joins the Lippe near Lippstadt-Hellinghausen.

Hydraulic structures

Stöckers-Schemm

To the west of Bökenförde lies the Stöckers-Schemm dam. It was built in 1846/47 in order to be able to irrigate the meadows in the Merschfeld with the water from the Gieseler. The water was drained off through flood or drainage ditches of the consecration.

Engelbert-Schemm

In the early 17th century, the city of Lippstadt expanded its fortifications . Sufficient water was needed for the southern flood and around 1678 a connection between the consecration and the Gieseler near Bad Westernkotten was created . A weir in the Gieseler enabled the water to be dammed up at this point, which could then be diverted to Lippstadt through the consecration. Today's weir, also called Engelbert-Schemm, was built in 1852. The right associated with the weir to use 1/3 of the water from the Gieseler to operate the mill in Overhagen and 2/3 to flush canals in Lippstadt still exists today, but is no longer used.

Overhagen weir

The weir on the Gieseler in Overhagen is a relic of medieval manorial rights, with which the water rights of the lords and barons of Schorlemer are connected. This includes regulating the water level in the moats of Overhagen Castle and securing the water levels of the waters leading from Herringhausen into the Lippe . Some of the water dammed up by the weir is led into the branching mill ditch (Mahlbieke) and thus fed to the castle moat. Until 1961, a mill was operated with the water from the mill .

Surname

In the map with the title “Real opportunity of the village Westerenkotten” from the second half of the 16th century, today's Gieseler, in the part between Bökenförde and Bad Westernkotten , is recorded with the name “Die Weyde”. In Eikeloh the Gieseler was called the Beeke in 1614. In Hellinghausen it was called Becke in the 16th century.
