The Hurlebach or the Hurle is an approximately eight kilometers long right tributary of the Oker in the district of Goslar , which rises in Harlingerode , flows through the Vienenburger See near Vienenburg and flows into the Oker about 800 meters further east.

History and etymology

A reliable interpretation of the river name is not possible, as the sources over the Hurlebach are only sparse. It was 1174 when Hurla and 1548 ( Eastphalian ) as Hurlebeeck called. On the one hand, a connection with the geographically closely interwoven Harlyberg as namesake is conclusive, but on the other hand there is also a primitive Germanic root * hurhwą, which can be found in Old Saxon horu "dirt, rot, dirt", while the -le is too Old High German lacha (river ) is related eroded Bach suffix and to Engl. lake is related. The latter hypothesis is also supported by the fact that the root of the name is also clearly recognizable in Hurewelbach , a historical name represented in Bavaria, which developed into Hörlbach and thus evidences an origin from a general word instead of a specific designation. In view of this interpretation, the Hurlebach can be translated as "the dirty one, the wastewater".

In a historical reference work, the possible alternative name Monneckenbeke (Monneckenbach, "Mönchsbach") is also mentioned for the Hurlebach.

In the 20th century, the Hurlebach was piped in sections, in Vienenburg between 1960 and 1983. In Harlingerode, too, the Hurlebach was largely designed as piping.

course

State north of the Hansa mine

The question of where exactly the Hurlebach officially originates is debatable. Since the upper reaches of the Hurlebach were almost completely piped in the course of the 20th century, it is usually decided to exit north of Harlingerode. According to an older official definition, the Hurlebach rises at an altitude of 185  m above sea level. NHN on the Altfeldwiese, a corridor embedded in the center of Harlingerode . Disregarded is of two versions, that the Hurlebach already clearly south - more precisely, from the former pit Hansa occurs as rivers and according to its first outlet at - 51 ° 54 '  N , 10 ° 31'  O feeds a pond and several private Flows through properties before entering the piping south of the highway . Historically, this section is called the fraction series.

The piped Hurlebach can be heard through noticeable flowing noises from the sewer system. To the north of the country road, it first strives towards the road Viehweide , to run roughly parallel to the north of the railway line and to bend to the east. The officially defined spring is located here in the Altfeldwiese , an undeveloped area in the center of Harlingeröder. The stream then flows north, bends west at Brunnenstrasse and runs underground to the confluence of Meinigstrasse on the western edge of the Viehweide road. Behind a building to the northeast of the road junction, the stream emerges and leaves the place after about 100 meters. Shortly after Harlingerode, the Frobach flows in from the southeast, at the same point the stream bends to the northwest. In the further course, the Hurlebach crosses under the Goslar – Vienenburg railway line , behind which the Hurlebach bends to the northeast and flows through the Döringerode desert . The L 518 runs to the left of the now largely monotonous creek , beyond which the gravel ponds of the Oker-Steinfelder extend in the nature reserve “Okertal south of Vienenburg” . The Wenderode desert is on the right between Harlingerode and Wöltingerode .

The stream flows into the artificially created Vienenburger See on the western bank (coordinates: 51 ° 57 '  N , 10 ° 33'  E ) and reaches the Oker further east just before the confluence of the Radau at an altitude of 132  m .

Structural quality

The structural quality of the stream can be rated as extremely poor because of the canal-like course and the lack of shade. In the water quality report of the NLWKN from 2002, the stream was awarded the biological quality grade II. Larvae of various species of caddis flies populate the biotope in the Hurlebach, and mayflies and river fleas are also represented. Species poverty is particularly severe in the upper reaches of Harlingerode, while in the direction of Vienenburg an increasing number of species can be observed.
