The Köllerbach is an approximately 19 km long orographically right tributary of the Saar in Saarland , Germany. It is the main body of water in the Köllertal .

Surname

Legend has it that the name comes from the charcoal burners who lived and worked in the forests of the Köllertal. The Köhler -Bach is said to have become the Köllerbach .

In fact, the brook is named after the oldest place Kölln in the Köllertal. As with the city of Cologne (lat. "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium"), its name goes back to a Roman name with part of Colonia . A Roman settlement was on the edge of the Köllertal, in the Püttling district of Ritterstraße. The Köllner Bach in the Köllner Tal then became colloquially the Köllerbach in the Köllertal .

The Köllerbach rises at an altitude of approx. 300  m above sea level. NN about 1.7 km northeast of Eiweiler , a district of Heusweiler , on the southwest flank of the 338  m high Schwanenberg . From here the stream flows primarily to the south, after a short run it reaches the already mentioned Eiweiler, where the Köllerwieser stream joins from the left and the Schäferbach a little later from the right .

About 1 km further downstream, between Hirtel and Kirschhof , the Köllerbach crosses under the Autobahn 8 at the Heusweiler junction and reaches Heusweiler a little later. At the southern outskirts of the village, the Salbach flowing in from the west flows on the right . About 600 m further south the brook reaches the local border of Walpershofen , where the Wahlbach flows from the left , south of Walpershofen then again from the left the Dörschbach .

The Köllerbach then flows through Köllerbach , where Hermesbach, Sellerbach and Schäferbach flow in, as well as Püttlingen , where the Wimbach and Hermesborn reach it from the right and, after a few hundred meters, the Schlehbach from the left. After crossing Völklingen , the Köllerbach flows at 195  m above sea level. NN from the right next to the Karolinger Bridge into the Saar.
