The Lutter is a 25.0 km long orographically right tributary of the Ems in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany .
geography
It rises in Bielefeld 's Quelle district at an altitude of 127 m above sea level. NN and flows in a south-westerly direction first through Bielefeld-Ummeln , then through the Gütersloh district of Isselhorst , where it takes in the Reiherbach in the center . About one kilometer from Isselhorst is the “Obere Lutter” sewage treatment plant in the Niehorst area, which was commissioned in 1967 . In its further course, the Lutter grazes the northern edge of the Gütersloh district of Blankenhagen and flows in the area of the town of Harsewinkel through the nature reserve Hühnermoor and the district of Marienfeld , in the center of which the river crosses the railway line of the Teutoburg Forest Railway . The river crosses under the federal highway 513 and finally flows out at 59 m above sea level. NN at the boom mountains south of Harsewinkel in the Ems .
On its 25 km long path, the Lutter overcomes a difference in altitude of 68 m, which corresponds to an average bed gradient of 2.4 ‰. It drains an area of 137.135 km².
Between Isselhorst and Harsewinkel there are several local hiking and cycling trails, such as B. the Fuhrmannsweg, the river. In addition, in the section between Blankenhagen and Marienfeld, a short stretch of the European cycle path R1 and the long- distance cycle path R45 run along the Lutter.
In the immediate vicinity of the source of the Gütersloher Lutter is the source of the Bielefelder Lutter, which flows in an easterly direction through the city center of Bielefeld . However, the Bielefelder Lutter is not of natural origin, but was dug up in 1452 - much to the annoyance of the monks of the Marienfeld Monastery , who feared for their water supply - by the Gütersloher Lutter just behind the source (the Lutterkolk) and partly diverted to the northeast. The water was fed to the moat between Bielefeld's old and new towns, for which the Bohnenbach and Vossbach , which actually flow through Bielefeld, were not sufficient.
Surname
For a better differentiation, the Gütersloher Lutter also speaks of the "Ems-Lutter", as its water flows into the Ems, and the Bielefelder Lutter of the "Weser-Lutter", as it drains into the Weser via the Westphalian Aa .
The name Lutter is a modification of "louder" and comes from Middle High German , where it stands for louder, bright, pure, clean . That should have played a role here when naming the water because of its pure spring water. Lutter is a common river or stream name, but also occurs in place names, such as Lutterbeck, Lutter am Barenberge . The synonymous "louder" is still used today as an expression, e.g. B. a "pure character".
