course

Upper course

The upper course of the Moosmühlbach with the water code number 157244 begins in the Alburger Moos near the Straubing zoo about fifty meters west of the SRs 21 district road as the drain of a pond. The course to the west is a good six hundred meters along the water alongside a farm road on the right bank. The original upper course of the Moosmühlbach, which is now just a trickle , comes towards an old barrier structure with a roadway . The drainage of both sections is to the north via a nameless linear 260 meter long ditch, which also bears the water code 157244, to the Moosgraben .

Lower course

The lower reaches of the Moosmühlbach with the water code number 15728 begins in the Alburger Moos near the Straubing Zoo . The course is roughly to the east through the zoo, the Straubing city park to the former location of the Moosmühle . A section of the Moosmühlbach comes towards him from the Powder Tower . The runoff takes place to the north via a nameless ditch east past the ice pond to the Moosgraben .

history

The historical course of the Moosmühlbach was laid out in 1431. Coming from Rinkam , it ran eastwards across today's zoo and Frauenbründl to the eponymous Moosmühle and then north of the powder tower to the Unterm Rain district , where it powered the boring mill of the bell foundry and the fulling mill. Near the Fronfeste it flowed into the Moosgraben. One of the structural changes, certainly after the Moosmühle was closed, later diverted the upper course coming from Rinkam northwest of Einhausen to the north in the direction of the Moosgraben. Later, the remaining course was divided into two sections roughly at the western boundary of the zoo, the current upper and lower reaches. The direction of flow of the new upper course was reversed to the west and a new drainage of the upper course was created towards the Moosgraben. In the lower reaches, too, the direction of flow of the last section was reversed, which, coming from the powder tower at the former Moosmühle, is now diverted north through the Alfred Dick Park to Moosgraben.
