geography

The source of the Gose

The Gose rises in the Harz north of Auerhahn on the eastern flank of the Bocksberg (726 m). Its source is below the federal highway 241 at an altitude of 615  m above sea level. NN . In a narrow, steep valley, the stream flows northeast, initially steeply along the Bärweg and then along the federal road 241. Finally, the Gose flows into the western edge of the city of Goslar , for which it was named, at 285  m above sea level. NN in the breeding . It carries more water at the mouth than the Abzucht, whose catchment area is a third smaller.

On its 7.1 km long path, the Gose overcomes a height difference of 330 m, which corresponds to an average bed gradient of 46.5 ‰. It drains its 10 km² catchment area via Abzucht, Oker , Aller and Weser to the North Sea .

history

Drinking water supply

The Auerhahn inn near the Gose spring at the end of the Auerhahn cascade on the B 241

The water of the Gose was u. a. used to brew top-fermented Gose beer. Since breeding was burdened by the mining of the Rammelsberg, a canal above the confluence of the Gose and Abzucht was diverted as early as the 13th century and passed through the city independently of the course of the breeding. From the main canal, which also operated mills, the drinking water was initially passed through open channels (bees) and later through pipes (wooden pipes) between the individual properties and supplied the Goslar residents with fresh water. This water supply system was only replaced in 1876 by the introduction of spring water from the Gelmke valley, as the city's water requirements had steadily increased.

Since the mid-1970s, the Harzwasserwerke have had the option of introducing increased runoff and flooding above the Sennhütte campsite via the so-called Goseschacht into the Oker-Grane tunnel , which crosses under the Gosetal at this point. Since then, real floods with flooding of the market square in Goslar have become very rare.

Gose and Abzucht

The confluence of the Gose (right) with the Abzucht

The name of the Gose, with which the name "Goslar" is related, has been handed down from the 12th century. At the end of the 19th century, the Gose in the city divided into three partially artificial arms. One ran along the An der Gose street , where it is still run underground today. It branched as it rushed and reunited at the level of the market. There one arm branched off directly for breeding, while another drove a mill and supplied fresh water to the Gosewinkel . There it bent down towards Gosestrasse and also ended in the breeding. Hölscher suspects a third arm in the course of the Beek .

Today only the breeding is visible in the street scene. The name of Abzucht, the oldest tradition of which dates back to the 13th century, means "water draft" and is always found in similar forms as the name of an artificially created flowing water. The flowing water, known today as Abzucht, runs throughout the city in stone-enclosed banks.
