geography
The Soestbach is one of the numerous bodies of water that arise on the northern edge of the Haar and flow through the Hellwegbörden . The Soestbach is the main body of water of the Soest Börde (in the historical sense). It rises south of the old town of Soest and has different names in the city area. In its upper course the Soestbach is partly piped; however, since the 1990s, small parts of the brook have been renatured again and larger parts have been exposed again. At the lower end of the street Am Loerbach , the outflow from the large pond flows into the Soestbach, known here as Loerbach . The name Loerbach is derived from the Soest tanners who lived in simple, small craft houses in the Middle Ages directly on the stream. Archaeologists have found several remains of skulls and bones on and in the Soestbach, as the butchers delivered the skins with skulls and feet to the tanners .
The Soestbach flows in a westerly direction partly open, partly piped out of the closed settlement area of the city. After leaving the city, it flows west through the village of Hattrop . North of Schwefe , the Blögge brook flows into the Soestbach from the left . Between Einecke and Borgeln , the Soestbach turns in a northerly direction and flows past the Borgelner mill and on towards Berwicke . After the brook Berwicke has crossed from south to north, it flows past Haus Nehlen and flows into the Ahse .
