course

The Rossenbeck rises in the Essen district of Essen-Kettwig and flows into the Ruhr in the Menden district in Mülheim . The stream flows largely in its natural bed. A former mill pond is attached to the Stinshoff farm just above Mendener Strasse. From there it is led in an open canal, under the road and the towpath through a tube, to the Ruhr.

The Rossenbeck valley above the Mühlteich and the Rohmbachtal are among the nature reserves in Mülheim.
