The Issel is an almost two and a half kilometer long stream in the eastern Hintertaunus in the district of Butzbach in the Hessian Wetteraukreis , which flows from the north from the left and finally northwest into the Fauerbach .
geography
course
The Issel arises from several spring branches in the western part of the Butzbach district of Hoch-Weisel in a mountain forest area between the Hainbuchenkopf ( 492 m above sea level ) in the west and the summit of the Hausberg ( 486 m above sea level ) in the east, which is surrounded by Celtic ramparts all begin their course on the southern slope of the Langscheide (west summit 450 m above sea level , east summit 460 m above sea level ), which is also the watershed between the Main in the south and the Lahn in the north. The main permanent donation comes from the Isselbrunnen that was once built . The stream may be in a dense birch trees - spruce - sparing dry places.
First inlet (from left)
At the edge of a lane above the ponds, a ½ km long and occasionally water-bearing stream flows into the Issel from the left, which comes down from the western slope of the local mountain . It has its source in a pond above a main forest path ⊙ at 401 m above sea level. NHN and dries up a few meters further, at about 400 m above sea level. NHN . Its course, lined with old alders, leads parallel to an abandoned forest path in a wooded (deciduous, mixed, coniferous forest alternating, partly on different banks) valley in a south-westerly direction down the local mountain and crosses another main forest path ( 390 m above sea level). NHN ) (both lead to a path to the summit of the Hausberg or down into the Isseltal or the Butzbach districts of Hoch-Weisel and Münster ). A few meters before it flows into the Issel, the brook carries water again.
The Issel flows through the birch-spruce protection on the eastern edge and flows into a concrete pipe, which leads it, partly in a narrow ditch, partly in further concrete pipes, around the upper pond and in a passage under a path into a ditch, which flows laterally from the east into the lower pond.
Second inlet (from the right)
From a muddy hollow on the southern slope of the Langscheide ⊙ in a deciduous forest rises at an altitude of 420 m above sea level. NHN a ½ km long tributary of the Issel. It flows through a flat valley down the slope and soon has an inlet from a side valley from the left and further donations from lateral groundwater outlets. He comes to a main forest path, below which his course is marked by alders with multiple trunks. Soon the water runs dry, it no longer reaches the overgrown hiking trail from the two ponds to the main forest path (shown on an information board as a hiking trail from the parking lot at the lower Issel valley to the local mountain), which is why there is no passage under the path. In the birch-spruce conservation area above the upper pond, the imaginary extension of its stream bed fills with water again. This unites with another body of water, which rises in the birch-spruce conservation area and, like the other body of water, reaches a length of dam . Shortly before reaching the pond, the confluence of the two streams is picked up by a cast iron pipe and diverted about ten meters to its eastern side, where it can flow into the upper pond. Its excess water is drained through a monk into a passage under the path into the lower pond. Here it can unite with the water of the Issel and flow together through sieves and a steel pipe over the dam crest into the Issel valley .
For the next 650 meters, the Issel flows southwest through a pine forest. The valley is a V-shaped notch valley between the Langscheide in the northwest and the Bruler Berg ( 420 m above sea level ) in the southeast, the summit of which is also surrounded by Celtic ramparts , which widens for a further inflow from the right. On both sides there are approximately parallel paths built into the slopes 10-20 meters above the valley floor. For the connecting path, they descend at the next inlet from the left, almost to Issel level. The Issel is again lined with alder trees.
Third inlet (from the right)
The maps currently show that this tributary is fed by two spring branches that arise from a mixed forest on the slope of the Langscheide . In fact, there is a third spring branch further east, whose water flows all year round to Bommröder Castle , a former limestone rock formation that was previously used as a limestone quarry . There the stream flows into a pool in front of a canal shaft with a square cross-section and a cracked cast-iron cover, in which it disappears. The stream, which flows into the Issel from the right, has its source far east of the Bommröder Castle in the slope of a bay of the Langscheide or on the slope of the Hintersten Kopf / Hainbuchenkopf . It is almost 1 km long and was last found on a historical map from the early 19th century.
Its two well-known spring branches
The two branches shown as known arise from hollows on the (mixed) wooded slopes of a bay in the Langscheide . One (western) is more open than the other because its surroundings are so swampy that hardly any trees can grow there. The hollows are connected to ditches in shallow valleys, which come to a main forest path and pass under it in concrete pipes. Below the path they soon unite and hurry to the third source branch.
Its third and year-round source branch
This rises further east in the same bay, but below a passage under the well-known main forest path, at 393 m above sea level. NHN ⊙ . Above, a pond forms, the water level of which does not reach the concrete pipe of the culvert. The pond forms the end of a dry valley. Less than ten meters away, in the middle of the valley, there is a sewer shaft with ventilation and a cover, under which it rushes like flowing and falling water. The valley extends further north and at the end forms a deep hollow with steep walls and a deep ditch ⊙ 401 m above sea level. NHN . In the historical map Grossen Linden one at this point is background Born , a footpath called by the dashed line leading to Issel inflow according to legend, no longer recognizable.
About 60 meters below the main forest path, the brook joins the two well-known spring branches, about 100 meters further down a brook flows from a spring on an abandoned forest path and another 20 or 30 meters further a dam blocks the Issel tributary the way in his bed. He is diverted into a ditch, which is redirected after 60 meters, now back to the old bed. There in the middle of it is a sewer shaft with a square cross-section, a cracked cast-iron cover and a railing on its south side. On the north side of this structure, the water accumulates in a pond and disappears in the shaft ⊙ . Up to the mouth of the now forgotten brook from the hornbeam head, the bed remains dry for almost 100 meters.
The real third inlet (from the right)
In a large, flat and stony hollow, like an oval pan, a now forgotten brook rises at 403 m above sea level. NHN ⊙ in a mixed forest, north and above a shallow valley, into which the spring drains over a steep slope. The valley and the stream extend in an east-south-east direction. After almost 100 meters a (well-known) main forest path crosses the valley. The stream is let through in a concrete pipe below him. Over the next 50 meters or so, the stream dries up more and more, its bed remains dry for about 100 meters. Then the bed fills up with water again. The stream flows through a swampy landscape and is receiving donations. If the gradient is increased, it reaches the flat, wide valley of the Issel tributary and, after a right curve, flows into the dry bed of the Issel tributary. After a few meters he receives a donation from the right from a brook that rises in a muddy hollow in the valley. The stream still has about 350 meters to its mouth, from the right, into the Issel. The inflow is lined with old, tall alders for at least 100 meters. Like the Issel valley, the lower section of the valley seems to have been a meadow in the past. Today the spruce trees planted in the 20th century tower above the alder borders. At river km 1.4 the brook flows into the Issel.
A realistic representation of the flowing waters and springs that feed the lower reaches of the Issel can be found in the Natureg viewer of the state of Hesse.
Lower course
The Issel meanders through the dark strip of coniferous forest in the middle of mixed forest and reaches the highest and no longer used trout pond , which is now a coniferous forest, at around km 1.2 . She leaves him through a breach in the dam and crosses the other two. To relieve the Issel flood, a trench was built west of the three trout ponds, which is connected to the two lower ponds. It opens into a passage that leads under a main forest path from the Hoch-Weisel district to that of Münster. Below the path over the dam is a natural monument , the red beech in the Isseltal , no. 440.161 ( list of natural monuments in Butzbach ). The relief ditch continues on the west side of the Munster pond, where it flows into the pond's drain. The Münster pond is not a trout pond, it was created to test hunting dogs (retrieving birds that have fallen into the water). It stands in a deciduous forest while the Hoch-Weisel trout ponds are surrounded by coniferous forest, and the Issel does not flow through it. It flows along it on the east side and there has a controllable inflow to the pond. Below the dam, it picks up the pond's drainage from the right. It crosses a coppice forest, flows north past a small pond and comes into an artificially meandering section that was created as a compensatory measure for the construction of a logistics warehouse in Butzbach.
Then your path continues through an open meadow, where you in the corridor Seewiese at an altitude of about 277 m above sea level. NHN flows about 300 meters west of the settlement boundary of the Butzbach district of Münster from the northwest and to the left into the Fauerbach coming from the west , on whose course the Lochmühle lies.
