Surname
The name Fellach consists of the Middle High German word vëlt and the Old High German aha . It means "field" and "water". The explanation is “a watercourse through fields”. The name Fella is a short form. Usually place names with the same name or similar sounding were named after the waters through which they flow (compare place Aura and River Aura ). However, the names Fellach and Fellen emerged in parallel. Fellen never had the word oh or aha in their name.
geography
Spring streams
Rengersbrunn brook
The Rengersbrunner Bach rises in Rengersbrunn , a district of Fellen , next to the pilgrimage church of the statue of the Virgin . The clear spring water gushes from an open well . King Barbarossa once rested at this spring. Since then it has been called Regisborn (Königsbrunnen). The name changed over the centuries in Rengersbrunn . The Rengersbrunner Bach is the longer source brook with a good 3 km.
Wohnroder Bach
The source of the approximately 1.3 km long Wohnroder Bach is located on the western edge of Wohnrod in a water protection area. Immediately after the source, it was used to operate a sawmill . In the newly designed town center, it flows over small artificial cascades at St. Kilian's Church . In the vicinity of the Frickenmühle it unites with the less watery Rengersbrunn brook to form the Fellach.
course
From the confluence of the source streams, the Fellach flows northeast to Fellen . There it is led through a brick channel through the core town. On the eastern edge of the village, behind the sports fields , it flows into the aura .
