The Proviantbach is a 4.4 km long Lech Canal from Augsburg and part of Augsburg's historical water management .
course
The Proviantbach arises in the Augsburg textile district together with the Hanreibach from the fork of the Herrenbach at the Geisbergschleuse at the level of Reichenberger Straße and is fed from Lech water that is branched off at the Hochablass . On its further course towards the north, the stream first touches the Proviantbachquartier , a former workers' settlement for workers in the mechanical cotton spinning and weaving mill in Augsburg . The stream then reaches the former slaughterhouse and cattle yard on the Proviantbachstrasse of the same name. From there the Proviantbach runs almost parallel to the Lech and drives a power plant in the turbine hall of the old spinning mill building of the cotton mill. After crossing Amagasaki-Allee and Lechhauser Straße, the Hanreibach is reunited with the Proviantbach. In the last section, the Proviantbach crosses Stadtbachstraße and then flows into Wolfzahnau on the edge of the UPM-Kymmene factory premises . There the Proviantbach joins the Stadtbach , which is then used for energy after around 1 km in the hydropower plant on the Wolfzahnau and then flows back into the Lech .
history
The name Proviantbach came up in the Middle Ages because the imperial city provision office was supplied with goods such as grain , wood , building lime and building blocks by raft via this up to 12 m wide canal . In 1898 the Augsburg slaughterhouse and cattle yard was built to the west of this old provisions office .
Until 1853, the Proviantbach, which ran parallel to the Lech, flowed into the Lech south of today's MAN bridge. Because some industrial companies wanted to use the brook to generate energy, the canal was extended to the Wolfzahnau. In 1877 the Proviantbach was straightened and its level lowered.
