The Tannbach is a creek about six kilometers long in Thuringia and Bavaria .
It rises east of Gefell in the Saale-Orla district in Thuringia . It first flows in a southerly direction through Gebersreuth before reaching the village of Mödlareuth . Here he played an important role at the time of the division of Germany . He divided the village into a north-western part belonging to the GDR and a south-eastern part belonging to the Federal Republic of Germany . Today the Thuringian-Bavarian border runs here. Below Mödlareuth, it continues to flow in a south-westerly direction before flowing into the Saale from the right at Hirschberg .
The name of the brook is actually derived from the fir tree . The Tannbach is the namesake of the historical film of the same name " Tannbach - Fate of a Village " and the documentary "Tannbach - The Documentation".
