description
The Rodebach, which once had its source in the Teverener Heide , begins today at a retention basin near the village of Siepenbusch in the town of Übach-Palenberg . The brook with a length of about 29 kilometers flows in a north-westerly direction and is mainly used for surface drainage and for flood protection when ice and snow melt. The course of the stream leads north past Teveren towards Gillrath , where it turns west. On its way, several biotopes and retention basins regulate the even flow of water during floods. In Stahe, the Rodebach at river kilometer 20.8 takes on the two kilometer long Krümmelbach, which drains the airport grounds near Teveren . The further course of the stream is directed to the west, along the villages of Gangelt and Mindergangelt. Here the confluence of the Dutch. Zulaufs, the Roode Beek , which has its origins in the Brunssumer Heide. It continues via Süsterseel before passing the towns of Wehr , Tüddern , Millen and Isenbruch to the north . Shortly before the Isenbruch mill , the 12.5 kilometer long Saeffeler Bach is recorded. At the westernmost point of Germany at 51 ° 3 ' N , 5 ° 52' E , the Rodebach leaves German territory and flows into the Geleenbeek as "Roode Beek" before it flows into the Maas .
