The Siebenbach is an approximately 1–2 meters wide and 3.1 kilometers long, west-southwest and orographically left tributary of the Mühlenbach in Bornheim in the south of North Rhine-Westphalia .

Surname

The Siebenbach was named after the place Sechtem. The original place name “Sephteme” has changed again and again until it finally became today's “Sechtem”. This name can be traced back to the Roman form of the settlement name ad Septimam leugam . At that time the place was exactly seven leagues away from Roman Cologne.
