The Litzelbach is a body of water in the Regensburg district in Bavaria .
Run
The source of the Litzelbach is located southwest of Oberhinkofen in the municipality of Obertraubling . It flows through the towns of Oberhinkofen, Piesenkofen and Obertraubling.
A water mill used to be found between Piesenkofen and Obertraubling, but it was demolished in the 1990s. The stream flows further north past Niedertraubling. Even smaller, nameless rivulets flow in here, and the stream changes its name, from here on it is called Geislinger Mühlbach (or Lohgraben). The water flows right through the town of Mintraching . The brook then flows underground (piped), emerges again south of Gengkofen, flows past several smaller places, with the Moosgraben flowing into Roith . It flows through Geisling and finally flows east of Geisling into the "Old Danube", which joins the Pfatter shortly afterwards .
Water performance
During a fire brigade exercise by the Obertraubling volunteer fire brigade in the midsummer of 1999, a water output of 1200 liters per minute between the towns of Obertraubling and Niedertraubling was determined. However, after heavy rainfall and in the event of a thaw, this can easily increase to 5–10 times the value. The creek reached reporting level 2 from March 9 to 11, 2006 and on June 3, 2013. Reporting level 3 was last reached at the beginning of the 1970s, according to information from residents of Obertraubling and Piesenkofen. The problem areas are currently in St.-Georg-Straße, Bachgasse and Herzog-Albrecht-Straße in Obertraubling.
Construction work
In 2005 and 2006, various rain and condensation retention measures were set up between Oberhinkofen and Obertraubling, which slow down the course of the brook and offer the flora and fauna new, previously non-existent wetlands. In 2012 the water retention measure shortly after Oberhinkofen was leveled and partly dredged because it could not absorb the planned amount of water due to a lack of construction.
In the late autumn of 2012, the rainwater and condensation water retention basin after Oberhinkofen was re-leveled and dredged. This measure was necessary because the basin overflowed on the outlet side, although it was not nearly full on the inlet side.
Word ancestry
According to information provided by the local homeland administrator (Pius Detterbeck) in the Obertraubling community, Litzel means small, i.e. small stream.
