The Spüligbach is an approximately 7 km long, left or northwestern tributary of the Ilme in the districts of Holzminden and Northeim , Lower Saxony ( Germany ).

The name is derived from the Low German word spoil, which means flushing water.

Course and catchment area

The Spüligbach rises in southern Lower Saxony in the area of ​​the Holzminden district. The origin of the brook is on the western edge of the Holzberg or northeast of the Solling . It is located north and east of the village of Heinade in a meadow east of the state road  580 at a maximum of about 300  m above sea level. NHN .

The Spüligbach is not fed from a classic hot spring. Rather, modest amounts of water from several rivulets from mostly moist hillside meadows collect in a moat . The trickle coming from Heinade falls temporarily dry within the village and turns into a narrow stream bed at the end of the village , the others come from the southern flank of the Holzberg. The spring rivulets unite a few hundred meters southeast of Heinade in a lowland at a height of around 251.5  m , whereby enough water collects for a permanent water flow.

The Spüligbach, which runs in a predominantly south-easterly direction, flows from Heinade along the north-east edge of the Solling and the L 580 to Merxhausen , where it flows around the Heukenberg in an elongated left curve. Here the flowing light , which flows from the Solling from the Mecklenbruch , increases its amount of water (see volume flow ). Then, after crossing the state road twice, he reaches Mackensen, southwest of the Amtsberge , a district of the Dassel district in the Northeim district .

Below Mackensen , the Spüligbach flows west past the site of the Hunnesrück castle ruins and then through the Dassel core town, where it flows east past the old town and crosses the main road again, a few hundred meters south of it near the mouth of the Bremke at around 155  m above sea level to flow into the Leine tributary Ilme flowing from the south .

The catchment area of the Spüligbach, which lies in the northern part of the Dassel basin , is about 51 km².

use

Bed sill at Dassel

The Spüligbach is not used to operate modern water turbines .

In Dassel, its hydropower has been used in several places to operate a water mill. It was used for grinding and grinding .

To the north of the old town, the Mühlengraben branches off at a threshold and is regulated by a weir . The Sollingbad Dassel was built there in the 20th century . The mill ditch was used to drive the water wheel of the city mill. It has been routed through the old town mainly in a pipeline since the 20th century. Flowing directly past the Museum Grafschaft Dassel , it fills the mill pond at the Museum Blankschmiede Neimke and flows from there into the Spüligbach.

The two waterwheels of the listed blacksmith's forge, used as hammer forge and grinding device of the scythe factory , are operated with the water from the mill pond.
