The Schwarzbach , also called Mählersbeck in the upper reaches , is a 4.035 kilometer long brook in the Wuppertal district of Oberbarmen . It is a right tributary of the Wupper .
The brook is the namesake for the street Schwarzbach . The dense inner-city residential development in the Oberbarmen-Schwarzbach residential area in Wuppertal on this street is also called “ In der Schwarzbach ”. The name in the upper reaches, Mählersbeck, was the inspiration for a street and a settlement with an outdoor pool and allotment garden .
etymology
The name is probably derived from its black stream bed. Older names are forms like Schwatte Becke (Beek, Beck, Becke is a Low German form of Bach). As early as 1614, the corridor was mentioned " on the black Beck ".
topography
The brook rises at an altitude of 277 meters above sea level in the district of Mollenkotten in the neighborhood of Nachbarebreck -West, south of the federal highway 46 directly on its route. Immediately after the source, it receives an inlet from the right that has previously crossed under the motorway. Shortly afterwards it receives a supply from the Mollenkotter Siepen.
The Schwarzbach flows in a south-easterly direction in a near-natural area that consists of fields and meadows and has only a few individual settlement areas such as Ochsenkamp or Horst . In the Mählersbeck locality , the Junkersbeck flows into the Schwarzbach, the largest tributary , on the left . In a dole , it crosses under the area of the Mählersbeck outdoor pool, then it flows through the area of the allotment garden in Mählersbeck .
Verdolt, he crosses under the L891 state road and comes back briefly to the daylight to pick up the Schellenbeck after another dole . Shortly after the inflow, the stream disappears in a long dole up to its mouth. It crosses under the state road L58, an important coal route between the Ruhr area and Barmen in the 18th and 19th centuries , and to the east follows the course of the densely built-up Schwarzbach to Wupper road. The stream passes the extensive former factory premises of the Luhns company .
In the valley, it crosses under Bundesstraße 7 and Berliner Platz and flows into the Wupper under the Oberbarmen suspension railway station opposite the Oberbarmer train station .
history
From the Middle Ages until 1922, the brook was border waters. Among other things, it separated the Beyenburg office of the Duchy of Berg from the Wetter office of the Grafschaft Mark and was also the border between the Rhineland and Westphalia until the incorporation of Nahe Brecks in Barmen .
