Channeling

The Pleichach "disappears" under the Würzburg main station

In the urban area of ​​Würzburg, the Pleichach is covered, built over or piped, namely in the river kilometer areas:

0.000-1.111 2.367-2.518
1.131-1.365 3.970-4.195
2.022-2.200 6.055-6.485

nature and environment

Renaturation

The Pleichach, which from 1955 to 1972 had become a "bad cesspool" from the trout stream, was rebuilt in the area of ​​the river km 17.5 to 17.0 in October 2004 by the Würzburg Water Management Office according to ecological criteria. This continued the renaturation that began in 2002 between river km 18.1 and 17.5.

The originally straight and monotonous course was made more structurally structured by branching and changing bed widenings as well as by flatter embankments and smaller bed sills, thus reducing the flow velocity during floods.

fauna

Brown trout , brook loach , gudgeon , hazel , roach , rutte and three-spined stickleback occur in the Pleichach .

Mills

Several mills were operated on the Pleichach: the Klostermühle in Maidbronn, the Veitsmühle, the Schlossmühle and the Grundmühle in Rimpar, the Schäfersmühle (Maimühle) and the Herrenmühle, the Freundsmühle (which produced electricity until the 1970s), the Mühlenhof Daxbaude, the Straubmühle, the Neumühle and the Lindleinsmühle . The Lindleinsmühle was destroyed by Allied bombers during the Second World War during an air raid on Würzburg on March 16, 1945 .

Two brooks bike tour

The Pleichach as namesake

The Inner Pleich and the Outer Pleich are names of districts in the old town of Würzburg.

The Würzburg parish church of St. Gertraud in the district of "Pleich" (formerly the district of Pleich between the Main, Ringpark , Juliusspital and Juliuspromenade) operates under the name of "Parish church of Pleichach (St. Gertraud)"

A motorway bridge (Talbrücke Pleichach) on the A7 is named after the Pleichach.
