The Kierlingbach is a river in Austria . It rises in the municipality of St. Andrä-Wölker in the Tulln district and flows into the Klosterneuburg breakthrough of the Danube near Klosterneuburg . It flows through the villages of Maria Gugging , Kierling and Klosterneuburg. Brown trout and white fish live in the brook.

The Kierlingbach was called Hagenbach centuries ago ; so the place Kierling is documented as Kirchling in the Hagental in the 15th century . Only later did that name pass to today's Hagenbach , then still called Kirchbach .

Another name was Lederpach . This name is said to go back to the Lederer who lived there at the time , but was also derived from the Celtic (meaning: small body of water).

In the 19th century, the Kierlingbach powered two grain mills in Kierling and three grain mills in Klosterneuburg as well as the machine wire pen factory of Josef Reichsritter von Simitsch-Hohenblum.

Occasionally floods caused severe damage. In 1851, all bridges in Kierling and Klosterneuburg were destroyed by the Kierlingbach; In 1907 there was also serious damage. In 2013 it was estimated that a 100-year flood would endanger 380 objects, including the state hospital Klosterneuburg and an elementary school, whereupon the construction of retention basins began.
