Confluence of the Sinn (back) into the Franconian Saale (right)

Confluence of the Sinn ( back ) into the Franconian Saale ( right )

The Sinn is an approximately 70 kilometer long right tributary of the Franconian Saale in the German federal states of Bavaria and Hesse . It rises in the Rhön and flows mainly to the south. Its confluence with the Franconian Saale is just before its confluence with the Main . The upper course of the sense is also called the wide sense up to the reception of the narrow sense .

Surname

So far the name Sinn, originally Sinna, was traced back to the ancient Indian word sindhu , which means “river”. However, research on the names of bodies of water is increasingly deviating from this traditional interpretation. A derivation is proposed from the Urindo-European root * sent- 'go', which is well documented in both the Original Celtic and the Original Germanic. In all three languages, this becomes 'the walking', 'the flowing' (?), Ultimately simply 'river' again. Since the same meaning is found in all three languages, it cannot be determined from a linguistic point of view whether the meaning was ultimately named by Indo-Europeans living in Central Europe, by Celts or by Germanic AD.

Recently, the meaning has also been derived from the word * senia, which is said to be related to the noun * sania, which can be traced back to Celtic and Latin, for swamp, swamp forest, peat, reed bed. Against this derivation speaks u. a. that the spread of the word * sania is only assured in the area between the Alps and the Pyrenees.

Sinn gave their names to the communities Obersinn , Mittelinn , Sinntal and Burgsinn . The name was also transferred to the Schmale Sinn tributary .

geography

course

The (width) sense rises in the Franconian Rhön at the foot of the Kreuzberg ( 927.8  m above sea level ), near the Oberwildflecken district , in the Weihersbrunnen . The source is located in a nature and water protection area . Water collects in several wet meadows and flows into the drain of a water container . Further secondary sources allow the young Sinn to grow into a large stream at a few hundred meters, which then runs through the forest to Oberwildflecken. At Zeitlofs on the Hessian-Lower Franconian border, the Narrow Sinn coming from the Dammersfeldkuppe ( 927.9  m above sea level ) flows into the northeast .

Partly accompanied by the Würzburg - Fulda railway line and crossed by a bridge on the federal motorway 7 below Riedenberg , the Sinn flows initially in a south-westerly and then in a southerly direction to Gemünden am Main , where it flows into the Franconian Saale , 700 meters before it flows into the Main .

flora

The occurrence of the extremely rare chess flower on the Sinn has been known since the 19th century . This plant occurs here between 160 and 250 meters in height in various meadow communities, especially in the wet meadows of the two adjacent nature reserves Sinngrund near Obersinn and Sinnwiesen von Altengronau .

  7. A word marked with * (a so-called asterisk) comes from a language that is not documented in writing, but has only been reconstructed linguistically with the help of related languages. For comparison: the above. The old Indian word síndhu is documented by written sources and is therefore not marked with an *.
