Surname
Despite its short length, the stream has changing names - it is called "Pflaumbach" in Radheim , Mosbach and Pflaumheim , "Mühlbach" in Wenigumstadt and "Welzbach" from Großostheim. The Welzbach is the namesake for several streets in the region, a sports hall in Großostheim, and the brass band "Die Welzbachmusikanten".
geography
course
The Welzbach source is located in the Klein-Umstadt district to the east and south-east of the Binselberg and the wind turbines there on the north-eastern foothills of the Odenwald . The stream flows northeast over the Schaafheimer district Radheim and through the Bachgau , in the center of which lies the Großostheim market . The Welzbach used to flow above ground along the Bachstrasse there . It was channeled there in 1932, and in the late 1960s it was diverted to a newly built channel on the Wildgraben as part of the construction of the Großostheim sewage treatment plant . Since then, the canal in Bachstrasse has only served as a sewer.
If the Welzbach used to flow into the Main on the northern edge of the Niedernberg district , it was diverted into the Main as part of the establishment of the Schönbusch Landscape Park and now flows into the Main in the west of Aschaffenburg ( unfortunately district ) in the Bavarian port of Aschaffenburg . However, even now a small part of the water as well as the entire process of the Großostheim sewage treatment plant located here flows at a river bifurcation into the old Niedernberger Arm, the so-called flood ditch and then on the old route to the river. In its further course, the Welzbach feeds the lakes in the Schönbusch Landscape Park in Aschaffenburg; in Schönbusch itself, the stream is divided into several branches and is used as a landscape design element. After crossing the landscape park, the Welzbach first crosses under the federal highway 26 in a long pipeline, this pipeline then flows directly into the port basin I of the Bavaria port Aschaffenburg.
