The Uelenbeck is a good two hundred meters long, north-north-west and right tributary of the Wupper , which is called Wipper here in the upper reaches.

Surname

Uelenbeck is a form of Eulenbeck , Eulenbach .

course

The brook rises 393 m above sea level east of the Marienheid district of Griemeringhausen and flows in a south-easterly direction through the corridor In der Uelenbeck to the Wipper, where it joins the corridor Hammerwiese at 378 m height after 230 meters .

Nature reserve

The course of the brook lies entirely in the 21 hectare nature reserve Wipperaue Eulenbecke (identification: GM-077, CDDA code: 344819). The protected status was made partly due to the maintenance and development of near-natural streams and wetland areas with alder riparian forests and wet grassland broke .

economy

The area around the mouth of the Uelenbeck was a regional center for iron smelting from the 12th to the 16th century . Eleven mass huts were found in the area during excavations in 1986. Numerous earth structures and slag heaps can still be seen there today.
