The Mümling in Erbach |
The Mümling is a 49.7 km, 59.7 km long left tributary of the Main via Mossau and Marbach , which gives the Mümlingtal in the Odenwald its name. On the Bavarian side it is also called Mömling , especially on maps and in official documents.
Surname
Etymology
The Romans called the river Nemaninga , evident from the name of the Scout Unit Numerus Brittonum Nemaningensium , which was supposedly stationed in Obernburg. In the 9th century the name was mentioned as Mimininga . From what the name Mümling is actually derived is not exactly known. There are three possible theories:
- The name Mümling belongs to the "old European hydronymy ", which historically extends beyond the boundaries of the individual Indo-European language families; it is probably to be seen as a parallel to the river name Memel . The place name Mömlingen is derived from the river name.
- The river name is derived from the place name Mömlingen, which is based on the old personal name Mimino and was derived from an affiliation suffix ing . The river name was derived from the Old High German word aha , for water.
- The river and place names were initially created in parallel and independently of each other. Later parts of the name were mutually assimilated.
Earlier spellings
Earlier spellings of the river from various historical maps and documents:
- 798 Mimelinga

geography
Mümling spring and spring streams
The Mümling spring is located in the Hessian Odenwald at an altitude of 400 m above sea level. NHN in the middle of the Oberzenter district of Beerfelden .
The source is a twelve-tube well . This is a culturally and historically significant fountain system from 1810 with lion heads made of cast brass. The fountain itself as well as the entire surrounding area are listed as a historical monument.
The headwaters around Beerfelden is the southernmost part of Hesse, which still belongs to the catchment area of the Main
From this source comes the Walterbach , which unites in Hetzbach with the roughly equal Gretengraben .
River course
After unification, the river was named Mümling.
The Mümling initially flows north in a wide valley through the Hinteren Odenwald . Your valley is the core area of the Odenwaldkreis . The largest villages in the district are lined up in it from south to north: the former residential and current district town of Erbach, Michelstadt, Bad König and Höchst in the Odenwald. After Höchst, the Mümling turns to the north-east, curves south and east around Breuberg Castle , and finally strives for the last 8.4 km on Bavarian soil in an easterly direction towards the Main .
The Mümling finally flows into Obernburg at an altitude of 117 m above sea level. NHN from the left into the Main.
Its 49.7 km long run ends about 283 meters below its source, so it has an average bed gradient of 5.7 ‰.
Longest strand and main hydrological strand
Longest strand
The Mümlingquelle is not the farthest source in the Mümlingtal, but rather the water that emerges from the source of the Mossaubach on the Morsberg in the Reichelsheim area , initially over the Marbach and then the Mümling 59.7 km to the Main, and thus 10 km more than the spring water of the Mümling itself.
Main hydrological strand

[in l / s] |
---|---|---|---|
Mümling | 6.1 | 11.37 | 159.5 |
Marbach | 12.5 | 57.38 | 888.4 |
The longer Marbach has the larger catchment area and is also richer in water than the Mümling.
2. Direct comparison of the Marbachoberlauf and Mossaubach at the confluence

Marbach | 8.4 | 22.76 | 311.3 |
Mossaubach | 11.4 | 25.48 | 309.0 |
The longer Mossaubach has the larger catchment area, but is not quite as rich in water as the Marbach.
The Marbach with its source stream Schmerbach is thus the main hydrological strand of the Mümling river system.

Bullheads and brook lampreys are rare .
traffic
The Mümlingtal is an important traffic artery for north-south traffic in the rear Odenwald . The Odenwaldbahn runs between the Frau-Nauses-Tunnel near Höchst and the Krähberg Tunnel near Hetzbach . Also via Frau-Nauses , the federal highway 45 connects the Mümlingtal with the Rhine-Main area and via Beerfelden and the Gammelsbachtal to the south with the Neckar valley .
The federal highway 426 follows the Mümling from Höchst to its end point near the Mümling estuary in Obernburg. The disused Bachgaubahn to Aschaffenburg ran from Höchst to Mömlingen.
