The Twierbach is an orographically left tributary of the Weser in the Höxter district in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

course

The Twierbach has its origin in the Corvey forest north-west of the forest house Bröken near Bödexen . Here it is created by the confluence of several small streams that arise in the Kinkbruch, a swampy forest area between the Heineberg and the Schmißmerberg directly on the border of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. Another brook that has its source in the kink is the Forsterbach . The Twierbach follows the Twier Valley in a south-easterly direction, leaves the forest immediately before Stahle , flows through Stahle and then flows into the Weser. It is the last body of water that flows into the Weser in the Höxter district.

history

Within Stahle, the river bed was straightened and laid down in the 1880s. On February 6, 1946, there was an accident when the Twierbach overflowed its banks and caused the Stahler fire station to collapse. In the meantime, the amount of water carried by the Twierbach has decreased due to drainage at the Bröken forest house.
