The Streu is an orographic right and northern tributary of the Franconian Saale in Thuringia and Bavaria ( Germany ), almost 42 kilometers long .

Surname

The name Streu was written "Steuue" in the 8th century and "Strouua" around 1030. It is derived from the Lithuanian word strove , which means strong current. The river gave the municipalities Oberstreu and Heustreu and the village Mittelstreu their names.

geography

course

The litter rises in the Thuringian part of the Rhön, southeast of the mountain Ellenbogen . It flows roughly in a north-south direction. From the source the river runs first in a south-easterly direction over the state border to Bavaria to the city of Mellrichstadt . There the Streu changes its course and flows about 10 km in a south-westerly direction until it flows into the somewhat smaller Franconian Saale, a right tributary of the Main, at the municipality of Heustreu .

On a map from 1621, the entire course of the river to Gemünden bears the name "Straÿ Flu" (Streu River).
