The Lohr flows into the Main

The Lohr is a right tributary of the Main in the Spessart in Hesse and Bavaria . It arises in the Main-Kinzig district south of Lohrhaupten through the confluence of the Lohrbach and Flörsbach and flows into the Main in Lohr am Main in the Main-Spessart district .

Surname

Behind the river name Lohr, first documented in 1057 Lara, a mainland Celtic water body name * Lār has been suspected for a long time, which was eponymous for the city of Lohr am Main and for Hafenlohr . This approach has proven correct. While up until now * Lār was assumed to be the mainland Celtic equivalent of the adjective lār in Old Irish with the meaning 'broad, flat, even', one now goes from an identical, but more water-specific adjective * lāro- in ancient Celtic with the meaning "flowing" "The one who flows" from. Albrecht Greule's 2014 suggestion to derive the river name from the Indo-European verb stem * leh (2) - 'tönen', meaning 'the one who sounds' or 'ripple', has the drawback that this proposal does not go beyond the primitive Germanic Language is still based on the original Celtic, which both developed from the common mother tongue, Ur Indo-European , which Lara can derive from the first document. Against the long prevailing view of Joseph Schnetz that the river did not have a name of its own, but was only appended to the place name Lohr / Lar (-aha) via the Germanic word -aha for 'river, brook' and then -aha in the course The place name Lohrhaupten alone speaks in the sense of Lohrquelle. Its basic word 'main' in the sense of 'source' clearly refers to a river name, here the Lohr, which rises in Lohrhaupten and where the town of Lohr lies at the mouth of the river Main.

geography

Spring streams

Confluence of Lohrbach (back right) and Flörsbach (back left)

Lohrbach

→ Main article : Lohrbach (Lohr)

The Lohrbach rises in Lohrhaupten from the Lohr spring . He leaves this place in a southerly direction. At around 4.5 km in length, it is the shorter but more water-rich source stream. It is also seen as the upper reaches of the Lohr.

Flörsbach

→ Main article : Flörsbach (Lohr)

The approximately 6 km long Flörsbach rises in the town of the same name Flörsbach next to a small lake from several sources. Behind the Flörsbachtal district of Kempfenbrunn , the Flörsbach flows from the right with the Lohrbach coming from the north and forms the Lohr.

course

The Lohr in Frammersbach

Shortly after its formation, the Lohr, accompanied by the B 276 , crosses the state border from Hesse to Bavaria and reaches the area of ​​the market town of Frammersbach . This is where the Laubersbach flows into, which was still called Frammersbach until at least the 16th century . It is also often called Lauberbach , especially in Frammersbach springs . After the village, the Lohr flows into the Spessartwiesen nature reserve and crosses the border to Partenstein .

In the center of the village the Lohr crosses under the viaduct of the Main-Spessart-Bahn and the state road 2317. Immediately afterwards it is reinforced by its largest tributary, the right Aubach , below Burg Bartenstein . Behind the village, the river now reaches the urban area of Lohr am Main .

Past the color mill , the Lohr flows into the area of ​​the city center. There it splits up, passes under the former Ostspessartbahn and Bundesstraße 26 and then flows out at an altitude of 147  m above sea level. NHN from the left into the Main .
