The Spleen is a nearly thirty-six and a half kilometers long right and northeastern tributary of the Franconian Saale in Thuringia and Bavaria .
geography
course
The spleen rises to the west not far from the villages of Roth and Zeilfeld in the Thuringian Gleichbergen . Its source area lies between the Kleiner Gleichberg in the north and the Großer Gleichberg in the south. First it flows in a south-easterly direction through the Roth II reservoir (reservoir for drinking water supply) and through the village of Roth, then south to Simmershausen . In the following it flows around on a west course through Gleicherwiesen and Hindfeld to Milz in the south of the Great Gleichberg. To the southeast of the municipality of Milz, the Spring flows into the river that touches the town in the south. Until the 1980s, the river split south of the village and ran as a 1 km long double arm system towards the west. For amelioration , the old meanders were then straightened and the presumably old river course drained to the vicinity of the state border.
After crossing the border to Bavaria, the Spleen flows mainly in a south-westerly direction through Irmelshausen , Höchheim , Gollmuthhausen and Waltershausen to Saal an der Saale , on the eastern edge of which it flows into the Franconian Saale, which comes from there from the south .

Economic use
The economic use of the river Milz began in the early Middle Ages. Because a lot of spring water flows into it from the Gleichberg area and it flows quickly on the upper reaches, the spleen was rich in usable fish. The street name Fischmarktstrasse in the town of Milz is evidence of this. Up until the end of the 1970s, a mill with water from a nearby branch ran near the town of Milz . Another, which was torn down when the border fortifications were built in 1961, belonged to the Irmelshausen community southwest of Milz. The spleen mills mainly produced flour for the surrounding bakeries and bakeries. Some of them are still in operation, mainly in part-time, often serving hydropower and the electricity . The Rittersmühle just before the river flows into the Franconian Saale is a sawmill . Some fishing clubs fish the spleen.
