The Sothrieth is an 8.2 kilometer long stream in the Südheide ( Lower Saxony ).
Source and history
It forms in a pond area northwest of Unterlüß and flows, largely in natural, moist forest area, in a north-westerly direction past the Altensothrieth homestead . Here the stream used to be diverted to supply some fish ponds with water. However, these have long since silted up. A natural, swampy break forest has partially formed. The Sothrieth then cuts through the former kieselguhr mining area near Oberohe and Neuohe , flows through the villages of Niederohe and Gerdehaus, which are part of the Faßberg community, and joins the Schmarbeck to the Landwehrbach south of Faßberg , which flows into the Örtze after 2.8 km north of Müden .
The rare marsh calla (Calla palustris), which is classified in category 3 (endangered) on the red list of fern and flowering plants, grows on the banks of the stream.
history

In 1892, as part of the Uelzen – Celle field railway exercise, a railway line with a length of around 70 km was built for a narrow-gauge railway from Uelzen via Weesen to Celle . The purpose of the exercise was to find out how, in the event of war, material could be transported to the front on a narrow-gauge railway as quickly as possible. This route was chosen because there were few obstacles and the heath area was isolated. On the occasion of this exercise, a wooden bridge was built over the Sothrieth.
Water quality
Between Altensothrieth and Gerdehaus (here there is a campsite on the bank (currently closed)) and at the confluence with the Schmarbeck (here is the Faßberg sewage treatment plant), the Sothrieth only has water quality class II-III (critically polluted). Otherwise the stream has quality class II (moderately polluted).
Archaeological find
On a hill near the bank of the brook, a cremation grave , the so-called " Equestrian Grave of Hankenbostel ", was discovered in January 1900 when a sand pit was built .
