The Hagenbach is a brook in the district of Oberharz am Brocken in the Harz district in Saxony-Anhalt, which flows into the Hassel from the left after a roughly 5 km long north-east run shortly before its influence in the Hasselvorsperre below Hasselfelde . It has the classic flow ordinal number 6.

course

The Hagenbach rises about 3 km west of Hasselfelde. The source is at the foot of the Butterkopf at around 530  m above sea level. NHN Höhe im Hagenbruch and northwest of the sources of the Brummeckebach, which runs roughly parallel to the right . It crosses under the Harzhochstraße on the upper reaches , takes up three left-hand trenches on the middle reaches and then flows through a reservoir. Immediately afterwards, its longest tributary flows from the west on the lower course to the east, which previously ran along the northern edge of the large cleared island around Hasselfelde, followed by a smaller, this time right watercourse from the direction of Hasselfelde. Then it crosses under a branch of the Harzer Hexenstieg and flows into the Hassel immediately below the Hagemühle von Hasselfelde at around 435  m above sea level.

additional

In earlier times, the stream was dammed several times to operate five water mills. No mill building stands any more.

Among other things, Erigeron annuus (fine jet), Rosa tomentosa (felt rose) and Bromus inermis (defenseless Trespe) were detected at the stream .

Name meaning

Similar to many settlement names, especially north German, there is a combination of -bach with Hag . The brook name is derived from a fenced in forest.
