The Rethlager Bach (also Retlager Bach or Rethlage; Low German : Reukenbieke or Reulenbieke) is a 5.4 km long left tributary of the Werre . The Rethlager springs are the origin of the Rethlager brook.

course

The Rethlager springs are located on the eastern slope of the 217 m high Kleiner Ehberg in the Dörenschlucht , a relatively flat transition over the Teutoburg Forest , at an altitude of 160  m above sea level. NHN between the Detmold district of Pivitsheide VL and the Lagens district of Hörste .

From its source, the stream flows northeast down to Pivitsheide VL and takes its first inflow here, the 2.3 km long Hunebach. A few hundred meters downstream, the stream was dammed into a pond and drove the Rethlager mill in Pivitsheide VL. In order to eliminate ecological problems that affected both the pond itself and the stream, a flood was created and the stream relocated and diverted around the pond. In the further course the brook takes its longest and second tributary at kilometer 2.6, the 3.8 km long Hörster brook and after 5.4 km and an altitude difference of about 54 m it flows into the at 48.3 km near Hacheide Werre.

In the 18th century the Rethlager Bach was also used for rafting.
