The Nied (in the upper and middle reaches: Nied Française , German: French Nied ) is a river that runs across borders in the French region of Grand Est and in the German Saarland . The name of the water is likely to be traced back to Celtic roots (Nida).

geography

course

It rises in the municipality of Marthille in the Moselle department and initially drains under the name Nied Française in a generally north-westerly direction. East of Metz, it turns northeast and reaches the town of Condé-Northen (German: Konden ), where its sister river Nied Allemande (German: German Nied ) joins from the right . From here it changes its name to Nied and after a distance of 97 kilometers between Guerstling and Niedaltdorf, it crosses the border between France and Germany. After a further 17 kilometers on German territory, after a total length of 114 kilometers in the municipality of Rehlingen-Siersburg, it flows into the Saar as a left tributary .
