The Maisach is about 36 kilometers long, left tributary of the Amper in Bavaria , Germany . It runs in the Upper Bavarian districts of Fürstenfeldbruck and Dachau and is the namesake of the Maisach municipality in Upper Bavaria.

course

Its source is located south of Hohenzell (district of Moorenweis ) on the road to Türkenfeld . It first flows north and brushes against Moorenweis and Grunertshofen . At Mammendorf it bends to the east and runs past Maisach , flows through Überacker and passes Bergkirchen . At Dachau it flows into the Amper .

Tributaries

Due to the inflow of the Moosgraben near Albertshofen , the Maisach loses the width of a meadow ditch. Its largest tributary is the Erlbach from the Wildmoos near Jesenwang , which flows into the Maisach near Mammendorf . Further tributaries are the Bussbach and Weiherbach, Lappach and Rottbach near Überacker to the west of Mammendorf.

Origin of name

Maisach, first mentioned in 853 as Meisaha , is made up of the Old High German aha 'water, watercourse, river' and meisa ' titmouse ' and therefore means something like titmouse .

fauna

Since 2004 the beaver has resettled on the river. Browsing marks, as are typical for beavers, appeared as early as 1990 above the Wecker sawmill in Mammendorf.
