The Stotzheimer Bach is a small brook in the foothills west of Cologne. Around 1970 it still rises north of Burbach Abbey and initially flowed into the Duffesbach at the northern end of Efferen in front of the Schleifkotten parcel , in front of the Schleifkotten or Lowenmühle that used to stand there and later at the southern end of the village in Efferen .
course
Today it rises from the Hürther Waldsee and crosses the town of Alstädten-Burbach , which is why it is still called Bornbach or Burbacher Bach in this part today . It flows into the Cologne Rand Canal on the western edge of Stotzheim . The near-natural brook area of the Burbach is classified here as a protected biotope .
Previous history
It seems to have been proven that this brook did not originally reach the Rhine, but rather seeped away in the gravel off Cologne. It is believed that this happened in the former wetland Beller Maar west of Efferen. The Romans also took this spring and led it to the forerunner of the Eifel aqueduct as the Burbach line to the junction at Hermülheim Castle and from there to the Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium . After the pipe fell, the brook flowed again in its bed. Sometimes it was also directed in artificial channels. In 1236, Count Wilhelm von Jülich gave the nuns of the Burbach monastery permission to direct the stream through its area, wherever the monastery found it good. So he then strengthened the Duffesbach in front of the Schleifkottenmühle in Efferen and thus still benefited the Cologne residents (To the mills on Bornbach and in Hürth → Mühlen in the Hürth area ).
West green corridor
As a landscape protection area, the stream is included in one of the five green corridors to the Villeseen planned by the Regionale 2010 and the Regio green measure . This leads to Lake Otto Maigler. The section between Stotzheim and the green belt (without the stream) is formed by the Decksteiner Straße dirt road. In 2010 it was planted with English oak on one side .
