The Kleine Hungerbach is a stream in the Unterallgäu district .

course

The small Hungerbach rises on the south-eastern outskirts of Wiedergeltingen . It first flows through the eastern part of Wiedergeltingen in a pipeline and then above ground through the meadows to the north. At the corridor border to Amberg , the small Hungerbach joins a discharge from the large Hungerbach and then flows underground in a pipeline. In the local area of ​​Amberg it reappears as Tummelbach .

history

In the 19th century, the small Hungerbach was a branch of the Hungerbach. The Hungerbach formed a branch on the eastern outskirts of Wiedergeltingen and was thus connected to the small Hungerbach. Today's separate stream course was created through land consolidation in the 1920s and through drainage campaigns in 1933.

Various renaturation measures were carried out in 2013. The stream bed was clearly widened in several places. Some loops, gravel banks and flood plains have been added to the stream. To the south of Amberg, an approximately 300 m long dam was built as flood protection. The agricultural areas to the south serve as retention basins.

Trivia

The small Hungerbach is usually called "Seitza-Bächla" in the Wiedergeltingen parlance because it emerges from the piping at the Seitz property there.
