The Hungerbach is a 6.1 kilometer long right tributary of the Ammer , which is fed by the water of the Riegsee that runs underground .
geography
The spring water of the Hungerbach originally comes from the Riegsee approx. 6.6 km away, which however has no surface drainage. By means of color tests it was possible to determine that the water from the Riegsee, which ran underground, partly emerged from the Murnau gravel as a hungerbach in Huglfing.
Upper course
Part of the underground water from the Riegsee comes to the surface in the municipality of Spatzenhausen, west of Olympiastraße , and flows from there as a small trickle to the west. After approx. 1 km the Hungerbach changes its direction to the north-northwest towards Eglfing, from where it flows another 1.4 km into an artificially created pond in the depression between Ober- and Untereglfing. Immediately to the north of this pond, the water seeps away again in a dead ice hole.
course
The source of the Hungerbach is located in the Huglfinger hill spring moor north of the sports field. The still small Hungerbach joins another source branch after approx. 700 m. From there it flows north into the center of Huglfing, from where, after passing through two mills, it follows the heavily straightened stream bed next to the main road to the former Moosmühle. The brook leaves the Huglfinger local area towards the west, crosses the Munich-Garmisch railway line and flows into a moor area between Oberhausen and Huglfing. When leaving the moor, the naturally dammed Oberhauser See (also called Schönsee) flows through before the stream flows into the local area of Oberhausen. In Oberhausen, the majority of the water is taken from the Hungerbach for a private hydropower plant; the water is fed back into the original stream at the Oberhausen sports field. The stream runs northwest through the Oberhauser district of Talhausen, where there is also a private hydropower plant, before it flows into the Ammer from the right at the curve to the north.
Due to several floods, the east bank of the Ammer eroded so badly at the Hungerbach estuary until 2017 that the Hungerbach lost 30 meters in length. The pedestrian bridge over the Hungerbach at its confluence with the Ammer was destroyed and has not been rebuilt to this day (as of May 2020).
