The Selbach is an orographically left, 1.5 km long tributary of the Emscher in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . After the nearby source of the Emscher , it is the first tributary with its own name.
It rises in the south of Holzwickede on the border with Dortmund 's Sölderholz district in the Hixterwald / Sölder Holz forest area and flows north through fields, wet meadows, under a railway line and past a pond at the Sölder Bruch until it flows into the Emscher.
The area between the railway line and the Emscher is an important habitat for butterflies, amphibians and many bird species due to its inaccessibility, the high proportion of hedges and the heavy waterlogging of the soil. For nature conservation reasons, the pipelines from the Selbach to the pond were removed, the drainage ditch from the pond to the Selbach was dammed up using tree sections (to ensure a minimum water level and promote waterlogging) and disruptive elements (tree stumps) were introduced into the stream bed to increase the natural water dynamics.
In the early beginnings of mining, a trench was dug to the Selbach to drain water from the Schwarze Adler colliery .
