The Kieselbach is a former tributary of the Saar . It rises at the foot of the Schwarzenberg .
course
The Kieselbach rises in two places. On the one hand at the Willingsquelle (formerly: Kieselquelle ) and at the Römerbrünnchen . The Kieselbach runs from the Willingsquelle through an indentation on a hiking trail to a lake. There the Kieselbach from the Römerbrünnchen and the Willingsquelle unite . This is the current end point of the Kieselbach. It used to lead further south to a pond at the Kobenhütte . Then the brook continued south into today's Kieselpfad street and was fed by the Strummerbrunnen and the wooden well on the Rabbit Mountain . It continued to the Saar.
history
The first documentary mention goes back to 1514. The water was of good quality. Since the beginning of the 20th century, many parts of the Kieselbach have been drained. First of all, to make way for the Rotenbühl residential area . The southern part of the Kieselbach was drained, Strummersbrunnen and Holzbrunnen dried up. Since then, the Kieselbach has ended at the Kobenhütte in the pond. In the course of time, the Willingsquelle produced less and less water until the brook almost disappeared. The large lake at Römerbrünnchen was drained in 2008, and since then there has only been a very short brook left there. The Willingsquelle is currently (as of January 2012) almost completely dried out and hardly produces any water, so the existence of the Kieselbach is severely threatened. Currently (as of March 2012) the pond at the Kobenhütte is almost dry and is not fed by the Kieselbach. On some days the Willingsquelle does not produce any water, which means that the Kieselbach has partially dried out (as of March 2012).
