The official source of the Lieser at Boxberg

The Lieser is a 73.6 km long, northern and orographically left tributary of the Moselle in the Rhineland-Palatinate districts of Vulkaneifel and Bernkastel-Wittlich . It is a second order body of water from the mouth at Lieser up to the tributary of the Hasbach in Daun- Rengen .

Surname

The name of the stream is of Celtic origin. The earliest mention of the Lieser as Lesura can be found in the poem Mosella by Ausonius , written around 371 . In verse 365 it says: “Praetereo exile Lesuram” (I skip the poor Lieser). In a will from December 634, there are reports of wineries on the Lieser that the owner owns: "Vineas ad Lesuram ... quas possedi". Since the late 8th century, the e in the river name Lesura has changed to i or y , where the name Lisera also occurs. The current name Lieser is first documented in a document from 1357.

geography

course

The Lieser rises in the Hocheifel , the highest part of the Eifel low mountain range, near Boxberg , a municipality in the Vulkaneifel district. Its source is on the eastern flank of the wooded Schillberg ( 615.6  m above sea  level ) at about 560  m above sea level. The Büttelhof desert is located on site .

The Lieser flows mainly in a southerly direction and for the most part a few kilometers west parallel to the A1 . It runs through Daun , the district town of the Vulkaneifel district, where it crosses federal highways 257 and 421 . It then arrives in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district. It runs through Manderscheid , after which the Kleine Kyll , flowing from the north-north-west, joins as the longest Lieser tributary. Then the Lieser reaches the Wittlich depression near Wittlich , the district town of the Bernkastel-Wittlich district, and breaks through the Moselle mountains .

After flowing through Maring-Noviand , the Lieser , which flows roughly from the north, flows into the Moselle coming from the southwest in the area of ​​the local community Lieser at an altitude of about 108  m .

Catchment area and tributaries

Located in the Eifel lies the catchment area of Lieser is 402.4  square kilometers in size. Their tributaries include with orographic allocation (l = left-hand side, r = right-hand side) , length of water body, mouth location and catchment area size (viewed downstream) :

Floodplain sediments

Around 35.1 million tons of loamy floodplain sediments ( Auelehme ) lie on the floodplains of the Lieser and their tributaries , of which 18% were deposited during the High Middle Ages and 54% during the early modern period . They reach their greatest thickness on the upper reaches north of Daun. They are the result of soil erosion processes triggered by deforestation and historical agriculture.

tourism

The Maare-Mosel cycle path from Bernkastel-Kues via Wittlich to Daun runs over long stretches parallel to the Lieser on a former railway line . If you only want to ride in one direction, you have the opportunity (except in winter) every two hours to take a regular bus (“Regio-Radler”) to transport the bikes to the starting point.

The Lieserpfad , a hiking trail of the Eifelverein , leads in four stages from Boxberg to Lieser .

Viticulture

On the lower reaches of the Lieser - from Wittlich via Platten and Maring-Noviand to Lieser - wine is grown in a wine-growing region belonging to the Moselle wine-growing region .
