The Lauer ( ) is a small river in Lower Franconia with a length of over 30 km. It is the namesake for the Lauertal and has its source in Oberlauringen .
Surname
The name Lauer is derived from the Germanic hlūra , which means clear . The waters gave the places Oberlauringen , Stadtlauringen , Poppenlauer , Burglauer and Niederlauer their names.
geography
source
The spring is also called Storchenbrünnle , due to the stork depicted on the stone at the spring. Legend has it that this place is supposed to help young couples to have children. The poet and orientalist Friedrich Rückert dedicated the poem "Das Lauerbrünnlein" to the Storchenbrünnle in his collection of poems "Memories from the childhood of a village administrator's son".
course
The towns of Rothhausen , Maßbach , Poppenlauer , Brünn, Althausen and Münnerstadt are located in the river valley . The Lauer flows into the Franconian Saale near Niederlauer . The section through the Lauertal is an important part of the long-distance cycle path between the Rhön and the Hassberge , because it has little profile . The many mills, most of which are still in operation today, are particularly worth seeing.
