The course of the Lüder from the Vogelsberg on the way to Fulda (right at the end of the map)

The Lüder , also called Lüderbach , is a 36.4 km long, southwest and orographically left tributary of the Fulda from the Vogelsberg in the Vogelsbergkreis and the district of Fulda in Hesse . The river is the namesake for the villages of Kleinlüder , Großenlüder and Lüdermünd .

geography

course

The Lüder has two source streams, each known as Lüder , both of which begin in the Hohen Vogelsberg and the Hoher Vogelsberg Nature Park - near the Rhine-Weser watershed and near Bermuthshain in the Grebenhain municipal area . Its sources are in the Vogelsbergkreis: the Lüder on the right rises in a source area on the Völzberger Köpfchen ( 570.8  m ) south-southwest of Bermuthshain and northeast of the Völzberg district in the neighboring Main-Kinzig district and belonging to the municipality of Birstein  - at an altitude of around 517  m . The Lüder on the left has its sources - near the towns of Herchenhain and Hartmannshain  , which are part of Grebenhain - west of Bermuthshain between the Herchenhainer Höhe ( 733.1  m ) in the north-northwest and the White Stone ( 607  m ) in the south-southeast; a source there, which is about 100 m southeast of the federal highway 275 and directly on the volcano cycle path , was called Lüderquelle at about 557  m height.

The Lüder on the left, which rises from the Lüderquelle, flows roughly in a west-east direction through the northern parts of Bermuthshain, through which a small stream with a mill ditch ran until 1963. This originated on the weed , near the Hofreite Heckert. Two mills were powered by the water in this ditch. The two watercourses in the village were drained when the local sewer system was built in 1963 and have since disappeared without a trace. Lüder on the right passes Bermuthshain a few hundred meters to the east.

After the union of the two source brooks east-northeast of Bermuthshain at an altitude of about 436  m , the Lüder, which runs mainly northeast, flows directly southeast past Crainfeld and then through Bannerod and Heisters . The Moosbach coming from the direction of Zahmen then flows into the river, followed by the Schwarza flowing from Steinfurt . Then the river runs in the district of Fulda through Blankenau , after which it receives the Jossa coming from Schletzenhausen .

The Lüder then flows through Hainzell , after which the Kalte Lüder flows into it, through Kleinlüder and directly east past Uffhausen in the direction of Großenlüder .

Immediately after crossing under federal highway 254, it bends south of the town it has passed to east-southeast. While Lüder the railway Fulda-casting (Vogelsberg Railway) passes under, it passes Bimbach just north where the by Malkes coming Erbach opens. Then it turns again to the northeast and flows through Lütterz .

Ultimately , the Lüder flows into a loop of the Weser source river Fulda at an altitude of about 232  m ; About 500 m northeast of its confluence lies beyond the Fulda with Lüdermünd a northwest part of Fulda .

The Schwarza (the Black Bach ), which is also called Waagbach (Waaggraben) and Ahlbach in sections, flows northwest parallel to the Lüder. It rises in the Grebenhain district northwest of Oberwald (also) on the Herchenhainer Höhe at an altitude of about 682  m . In a predominantly northeastern direction it flows through Grebenhain , past Vaitshain , through Nösberts-Weidmoos and through Steinfurt . It flows into the Lüder between Steinfurt and Blankenau near the border of the Vogelsberg district with the Fulda district (former Hessian-Prussian state border).

Traffic and walking

The federal highway 275 runs near the Lüderquelle (left Lüder) and at Großenlüder the Lüder crosses the federal highway 254 . Several state and district roads run along or crossing the river . The volcano cycle path runs directly past the Lüder spring and on the northern flank of the Lüdertal above Bermuthshain and Crainfeld on the route of the disused Oberwaldbahn (Glauburg-Stockheim-Lauterbach Nord) . Between Großenlüder and Bimbach, the Lüder passes under the Fulda-Gießen railway line (Vogelsbergbahn) . The Fulda cycle path and the Hessian long -distance cycle paths R2 , R3 and R8 run along the river or cross it .
