geography

course

The Salisbach begins north of Hanau, where it branches off from the Krebsbach . The Salisbach splits about 100 m further on. The right arm of the brook flows as Braubach through Wilhelmsbad and Dörnigheim , where it flows into the Main . The left branch continues under the name Salisbach through Hanau and flows in Kesselstadt into the Kinzig , about 250 m before its confluence with the Main.

The Salisweg in Kesselstadt is named after the Salisbach .

Kinzig river system

history

Division of Salisbach (to the rear left) and Braubach (pipe right)

The bifurcations of the four brooks in the north of Hanau are artificial and were only created by humans in modern times. The reason for this lies in the water requirement for the waters of the neighboring Wilhelmsbad spa complex and the Fasanerie, and to the south of today's Maintaler Straße there were lakes for fish farming ( Weiherfeld , An den Güntherteichen ) between Krebsbach and Salisbach. Originally, the Krebsbach, Salisbach and Fallbach had separate beds for the Kinzig, while the Braubach did not start in Wilhelmsbad, but in its main tributary, the Säulbach coming from Wachenbuchen . The Salisbach was previously much longer because the Mittelbuchen creek , which now drains into the Krebsbach, is its original upper course. The small difference in altitude and the low flow speeds made it possible to create artificial connections, so that the Krebsbach now drains via Fallbach, Salisbach and Braubach.
