history

After the stream served as a Köttelbecke for decades and carried the sewage to the region, the Emschergenossenschaft began with the renaturalization. The first section was completed in 2002. The conversion was completed in 2011 as part of the conversion of the Emscher system . Since the redesign, large sections have been used as a local recreation area, which has been equipped with a parallel cycle and hiking trail.
