The Möschbach (in the lower course also Spitzenbach , formerly Spitzerbach ) is a brook in Bad Honnef with a length of around 3.5 kilometers. It rises above the district of Rommersdorf in the Annatal of the Siebengebirge and flows from the right into the Middle Rhine . The brook has the river code number 271932, its catchment area covers 2.5 km².

On its first third, the stream runs along the two Breiberge and the Korferberg above ground and close to nature and is dammed twice. At about 127  m above sea level. NHN it takes the Tretschbach from the left , which was previously also regarded as its upper course. Then he dives into a canal for the first time near Rommersdorf. On its further course of the river since 2008 for a distance of approximately 220 m with a new course again disclosed , after he had been channeled there in the 1930s. To cross under the main road, federal road 42 , the railway line and the Siebengebirgsbahn , the stream flows underground again before it flows into the Rhine. There is a computer system on Möschbachstrasse , and there are also several water retention basins and masonry fastenings. The Bad Honnef Am Spitzenbach stop of the Siebengebirgsbahn is named after the stream on the street of the same name .

In the Holocene , the Möschbach accumulated an extensive alluvial fan within the Rhine Valley, the deposits of which consist mainly of clayey-sandy silt . In the Jesuit map from around 1749 the brook was referred to as the Rommersdorfer Bach . The winning name "Auf der Möschbach" means "(Am) Sperlingsbach". The name peak Bach or earlier Spitzerbach - referring to the likewise already in the Jesuit map of about 1749 mentioned field names at the top - for the lower reaches of the river due to a sharp bend, he in the area of today's main road to bypass the so-called Pesch Wiese made . At the level of Göringallee (formerly Rommersgasse , today Am Spitzenbach ), the brook still ran above ground in the 1920s and was dammed into a pond. Further disclosure of the Möschbach is planned for the future (as of April 2016).

“[I] n Rommersdorf [the brook] sometimes caused damage and when it rained like a torrent, a bed even broke through the fields and into the trenches of the old castle . Now a solid trickle has been built for him in the village and hopefully this will help the frequent complaints of the local residents. "

- Johann Joseph Brungs (1925)
