The Lünerner Bach is an approximately 13.5 km long, left-hand tributary of the Seseke in North Rhine-Westphalia .

course

The Lünerner stream originates in the middle of Fröndenberger local part Frömern in an approximately 10 x 30 m large source pot , the water is pressed by the lower layers to the surface. He leaves the city in a northerly direction down the Haarstrang until, after three and a half kilometers, he crosses Autobahn 44 and after four and a half kilometers, Bundesstraße 1 . At the height of the old Hellweg , it forms the border between the villages of Mühlhausen and Lünern (see photo on the right). It flows in an easterly direction and crosses Lünern and continues towards the northeast and finally west until it joins the Seseke after 13.5 km at Lenningsen ( Bönen ).

Bimberghof flood retention basin

As a result of the very loamy soil texture on the hair strand, very little water seeps into the ground after heavy rainfall, which can lead to flooding in the Lünerner Bach. A flood retention basin (HRB) was built in the Bimbergtal from March 2015 to October 2016 in order to protect courtyard properties, cellars and meadows in Lünern and other towns along the stream from flooding . To this end, 45,000 m³ of earth were pushed into a 230 meter long and 11 meter high dam. In the event of heavy rain, this should serve as a dam and hold back up to 310,000 cubic meters of water that flows from the hairline down to the valley. It is therefore considered to be the middle retention basin in a group of four classifications (very small, small, medium, large) . The construction costs of the project were around five million euros. The federal and state governments funded the construction with over three million euros.

In times of little rain, however, the Lünerner Bach tends to dry up , so far in 2017 (as of the end of August 2017), when it fell completely dry with the exception of one week each in January and July. This drying out is characteristic of many karst springs , which are therefore referred to as "intermittent".

Remarks

  1. Many spring pots fall dry when there is little rainfall and are therefore referred to as intermittent springs.
  2. The (right) east bank in this section is predominantly somewhat higher and steeper than the western one, as is the case with all rivers that flow from south to north in the northern hemisphere. This effect is the result of the so-called. Coriolis force .
  3. East flow direction, towards the viewer. Both banks are equally steep. The Coriolis force does not occur in watercourses that flow parallel to latitude.
