The Hombach is part of the Weser river system . It has a length of 23.4 km and rises northeast of Bassum .
It flows exclusively in the district of Diepholz ( Lower Saxony ) through the towns of Bassum- Nordwohlde , Stuhr -ahrenhorst and Weyhe -Leeste. Here the Gänsebach flows in from the right. From here it flows on as Leester Mühlenbach until it flows into the Ochtum northeast of Brinkum , south of Bremen-Obervieland .
Right-hand tributaries are the Finkenbach (about 10 km long, tributary south of Nordwohlde) and the Gänsebach (7 km long, tributary in Leeste).
Today there is no watermill on his way . From 1393 to 1960 there was a watermill in Leeste, on Leester Strasse.
The responsible water and soil association is the WBV Hache and Hombach.
