The Senftenbach is a brook in the Upper Austrian district of Ried im Innkreis . It rises from several sources in Ursprung, the municipality of Eitzing and flows through the municipality of Senftenbach in a valley . It flows below the castle gardens of St. Martin im Innkreis into the Antiesen .
History and construction
The Reichersberg Canons began to divert the Senftenbach in St. Ulrich, a town in the Senftenbach community, in the 11th century with a weir, called the Iron Rail, approx. 2 km. In 30 years of construction the Reichersberger Bach was rebuilt and connected to the already existing Hartbach . This structural intervention in the High Middle Ages was initiated by the Reichersberg Monastery, on the one hand, to dry out the wet meadows of the Hartbach – Senftenbach valley watershed in the area surrounding today's Arco-Zinneberg Castle and to ensure the monastery 's water supply.
Due to the extensive diversion, the Senftenbach only brings marginal residual water to the Antiesen.
