The Otterstedter Beeke is a brook in the Lower Saxon districts of Rotenburg (Wümme) and Verden and a left tributary of the Walle running to the Wümme , which it reaches to the south-west of the eponymous town of Otterstedt in the community of Flecken Ottersberg in the Verden district.
course
The most distant source of the Otterstedter Beeke is located a little south of the town limit of Stapel in the municipality of Horstedt in the district of Rotenburg (Wümme) . From here on the stream flows in alternating western and southern directions. It soon passes the village of Benkel, which is part of the local community of Flecken Ottersberg, on the right bank, and then takes up the Wischhofsgraben from the north-east of the village of Narthauen . Then it only runs along the eastern edge of the loosely standing village of Otterstedt along the same unitary community, where the Dauensiekgraben flows in from the east , and finally crosses the village. Below it flows from the left into the Walle , a right tributary of the Wümme .
Bach nature and others
The stream, partly with, partly without a gallery, running through a meadow landscape characterized by grassland is approx. 2 m wide in Otterstedt, its flow is sometimes low depending on the season. In Otterstedt, two car bridges and two pedestrian bridges each cross the stream. The Otterstedter gym directly on the run is called Beeke-Halle after the second part of the name Beeke, a Low German word form of Bach.
