The Krummbach is a creek artificially created by Benedictines in the 15th century, a so-called Klosterwaal , in Ochsenhausen in the district of Biberach in Baden-Württemberg .
geography
The Krummbach rises about one kilometer southwest of the Ochsenhausen monastery on a slope slightly inclined towards the valley of the Bellamonter Rottum (also called Obere Rottum ) and flows in a canal bed with a minimal incline to the northeast to the Ochsenhausen monastery. It is led under the monastery wall into the monastery complex and leaves it via a canal. In the area of the Ochsenhauser school center it comes to the surface again, is shown as a design element over its premises and then flows into the Steinhauser Rottum (also called Untere Rottum ).
history
The stream was the main piece of a technically highly developed canal system. Numerous connected watercourses and ponds provided water and energy for the monastery, the monastery brewery and the monastery mill. A water engineering history educational trail with information boards along the Krummbach tells the story of this historic water today.
