The Riederbach is an approximately 15 km long stream system in the eastern part of Rheinhessen in Rhineland-Palatinate .
origin
The Riederbach is being built underground in Monzernheim , near Bahnhofstrasse and Am Römer. It arises from the groundwater of the higher area around Hochborn , the former Blödesheim.
course
Its subterranean course is shaped by the geological location, a trough running to the east , up to Bechtheim . Only in the eastern part of Bechtheim, at the end of Riederbachstrasse, does it come to light, fed by the influences of the many, mostly underground, wells. It has an inner-local ditch system that only absorbed the upper water of the valley basin from Monzernheim and a smaller side valley coming in the direction of Hessloch in heavy rain. This trench system with its bridges was replaced by canalization in the 1950s. Its usually low water level is fed again by the sulphurous water of the dialect "Schwewwelbrinnelsche" below Bechtheim. After a water course of only a few hundred meters, the Riederbach is led at the intersection of Bechtheim - Bundesstrasse 9 or Osthofen - Mettenheim in the direction of Mettenheim, where its water seeps away in the dry season in its overground ditch south of Mettenheim. Only when it rains heavily does its water continue to flow until it becomes almost exactly in the middle between the places Mettenheim and Hamm with the confluence of the Seegraben to the Langbachgraben. According to the land registry, the Riederbach ends here. Its water is carried from the Langbachgraben, immediately north of Hamm am Rhein , into the Rhine .
