The Kinsach (also called Ferchenbach in the upper reaches ) is a left tributary of the Danube in the Straubing-Bogen district in Lower Bavaria .

course

It rises near the village of Sattelbogen (Gem. Traitsching ) and flows mainly in a southerly direction, receiving the Schönsteiner Bach through Stallwang , Rattiszell , Ascha , Gschwendt and Wolferszell (Gem. Steinach ). From the Stockmühle district of the Parkstetten municipality , the Kinsach was forced by river regulation measures to leave its old bed and turn east into the artificially created so-called Kinsach-Menach trap. The original lower course from Stockmühle is the old water of the Alte Kinsach .

Kinsach-Menach arrester

The artificially constructed water course moved the mouth of the Kinsach into the Danube about 4.4 kilometers downstream. The inflow to the Danube now only takes place via the Alte Donau from Bogen and only then into the Danube at river kilometer 2309. The construction of the Kinsach-Menach arrester not only relocated the mouth of the Kinsach, the mouths of two former northern tributaries of the Danube were also relocated away from the bank of the Danube into the Kinsach-Menach arrester. The arrester takes up the Dunkgraben in the urban area of ​​Bogen, east of Muckenwinkling , and a branch of the Menach, which branches from here, in Furth . The artificially created course of the Kinsach now flows into the Bogener-Donau-Altarm where the original mouth of the former main branch of the Menach was, only a few meters above the mouth of the Bogenbach .

Name forms and meaning

The Topo-Geographical-Statistical Lexicon of the Kingdom of Bavaria says: " Kinsachbach, Kiensach, Kiensabach, Mühlbach and Schwarzach, Bach in the district of Mitterfels, which arises at Sattelbogen flows south and falls east of Reibersdorf into the Danube." It is also called Kinsabach or Kemsbach on historical maps. The meaning of the name of Kinsach is presumably "River of the King" as a compound and from the Middle High German "Küngesach".

ecology

To the north of Gschwendt , an approximately 600-meter-long, near-natural flow stretch has been re-modeled, and the previously straightened river bed is now backwater.

Water maintenance

Below the confluence of the Sockabach in the municipality of Ascha up to the confluence with the Danube in the town of Bogen, the Kinsach is a second-order body of water over a length of 19.7 kilometers, and a third-order body of water in the remaining upper reaches.
