The Krumme Tief is a body of water in the city of Aurich and in the municipalities of Großefehn and Ihlow in the Aurich district in East Friesland .

course

The Krumme Tief rises as Geestbach (Niederungsbach) on the Oldenburg-East Frisian Geestrücken near the village of Akelsbarg in the municipality of Großefehn . On its way through the community of Großefehn and the city of Aurich, it takes up the Kroglitzer Tief, which rises in the Aurich district of Egels , and continues through the Aurich district of Schirum before it reaches the area of ​​the community of Ihlow. It forms part of the border between Aurich and Großefehn and then part of the border between Aurich and Ihlow.

South of Ihlowerfehn , the Krumme Tief takes up the Ihlowerfehn Canal, which was created around 1780 as part of the cultivation of the Ihlowerfehn . Over a period of several decades it served to transport peat from Ihlowerfehn in its lower reaches . The Krumme Tief ends near Simonswolde in the Fehntjer Tief , from where there was a navigable connection to Emden and Oldersum . The peat ships brought the material on the East Frisian canal network to the Krummhörn villages. On their way back into the Fehnsiedlungen the Torfschiffer often took clay soil from the march and the manure of cattle with which they their home were dug fertilized land.
