The Wörpe is a small tributary of the Wümme in northern Lower Saxony .
The headwaters of the Wörpe are located near Steinfeld about 10 kilometers southwest of Zeven . From there the Wörpe flows over Wilstedt and Grasberg (up to here the influence of the tide extends ) and finally flows into the Wümme at Lilienthal . In the upper reaches the brook flows in natural meanders . In the past, the lower reaches of the Wörpe were canalized and the water level was regulated by means of a river bed . The Wörpe originally ran through the Truper Blänken and flowed into the Wümme at the Gehrden farm. Between 1826 and 1864 there was an initial expansion phase to improve peat barge travel . From the 1990s onwards, the rocky slopes below Schnakenmühlen were converted into soles gliding .
The fishing and water protection association Lilienthal und Umgebung eV provides the water management for the Wörpe and is currently (2013) the resettlement of sea trout in the Wörpe.
