The Siegbach (also called Sieg ) is a creek with the longest upper course in the Bavarian district of Kelheim , which is almost 10 km long and flows west of Siegenburg to the west of Siegenburg and opposite the village of Daßfeld from the right into the Abens .

geography

course

The Siegbach has two apparently nameless upper courses, the longer one on the right at about 448  m above sea level. NHN rises from a tiny spring pond in the Gewann Kreuz north-northeast of the individual farm Eichenhof in the municipality of Wildenberg , which lies a little south of the district road KEH 29 from Rohr in Niederbayern - Gressau in the east to Wildenberg in the west in a forest hollow.

This upper course first flows about half a kilometer southwards to the edge of the forest near Eichenhof, where it is fed in from a north-easterly and south-easterly direction in a small valley spider. It then moves about 750 m further along the edge of the forest to the west-south-west and finally past two ponds on the right bank, before it joins the left upper course, which comes from the east-south-east and is a little over a kilometer long, all of which are also just under 450  m above sea level. NHN lying forest springs west of the Koppenberg , on this and north of this.

From then on , the body of water called Siegbach flows from now on in slightly alternating western to northwestern directions. After just a few steps, it flows through a lake near the Wildenberg village of Willersdorf , which it then crosses. On its further course, which is temporarily in the very west, it separates the Wildenberg on the right from its parish village Pürkwang on the left and then takes in the first of its two large tributaries on the left with the Schweinbach below the wheat mill . This soon follows from the same side, but already in the area of ​​the Siegenburg market , shortly before its Grafenmühle, the Schmiedbach . The B 299 already runs there in the valley, which now follows the Siegbach close to its mouth. Shortly before Siegenburg, the A 93 crosses the valley on a road embankment , then the Siegbach flows through the main town of the market. Somewhat below the local border and opposite the associated village of Daßfeld , the Siegbach finally flows at about 376  m above sea level. NHN from the right into the evening .

Catchment area

The 29.1 km² catchment area is, in terms of natural space , in the Hallertau , a large hop-growing zone that belongs to the Danube-Isar hill country , part of the northern Alpine foothills .

Flood and straightening

The Siegbach is a third order body of water , with occasional floods. The Siegenburg market experienced flood disasters on the Siegbach in 1862, the last in 1981 from continuous rain.

The water used to meander freely through meadows and agricultural areas before it was regulated in several places for the use of hydropower. Through Siegenburg its river was straightened in 1932 by laborious manual labor . Before the Siegbach had a very good water quality, you could catch small crabs and fish in it.

Bridges and use

Today the Siegbach is crossed by five car bridges and four pedestrian bridges.

Two sawmills, three mills, three small electricity plants and a white tannery were operated on the Siegbach.
