The Wieprza ( ˈvʲɛpʃa ; German  Wipper ) is a 112 kilometer long coastal river in Pomerania in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship . It rises on the Pomeranian ridge at 154 meters above sea level in Lake Biallen ( Jezioro Białe ) near the village of Głodowo ( Gloddow ) near Miastko ( Rummelsburg ) and flows into the Baltic Sea at Darłowo ( Rügenwalde ) .

River name Wipper

In the German language, Wipper is the name for several, geographically widely separated rivers. A count that also took into account similar-sounding names like Wipfer resulted in the number fifteen.

It has been suggested that the origin of the name can be found in the Middle Low German , Dutch or Middle English word for rocker. Others assumed an even older origin, looked for the origin of the name in Indo-European and translate the river name as the hopping .

course

Course of the Wipper from the village of Gloddow near Rummelsburg via the village of Zollbrück to Rügenwalde and Rügenwaldermünde on the Baltic Sea on a map from 1910

First the Pomeranian Wipper flows in a north-westerly direction, then north at Schlawe ( Sławno ) and turns west at the village Wilhelmine ( Wilkowice ). The Wipper flows into the Baltic Sea near Rügenwaldermünde ( Darłówko ).

The catchment area of ​​the Wipper covers 2150 km². The abundant rainfall creates an even flow of water. The Wipper was straightened in 1928. In 1909 its length was given as 150 km, 128 km of which were floatable. Numerous water mills and even smaller power plants could be operated - for example at Ciecholub ( Techlipp ), municipality Kępice ( hammer mill ), and Biesowice (Beßwitz) in Powiat Słupski (Powiat Stolp) . Today only the section from Darłowo to the mouth of the Baltic Sea can be used by smaller ships.

Tributaries

Several smaller tributaries flow into the Wipper:

  • Left tributaries:
    • the Taukarre , which flows into the Wipper north of Sławsko ( Alt Schlawe ), municipality of Sławno ( Schlawe );
    • the Motze or Schlawer Motze , which rises at Malechowo ( Malchow ), flows south of Słowino ( Schlawin ) at a distance of one kilometer from the town center in a north-easterly direction and flows into the Wipper at Schlawe;
    • the Stüdnitz (formerly also Stiednitz , Polish Studnica ), which rises south of Miastko ( Rummelsburg ) and flows northwest of the village Broczyna ( Brotzen ), municipality Trzebielino ( Treblin ), into the Wipper;
    • the Grabow ( Polish Grabowa ), which flows into the Wipper behind Rügenwalde.
  • Right tributaries:
    • the Krummbach , which rises south of the village Łubno ( Lubben ), municipality Kołczygłowy ( Alt Kolziglow ), flows north past the village Trzebielino ( Treblin ) and flows into the Wipper before the village Broczyna ( Brotzen );
    • the Stibnitz, which flows into the Wipper about seven kilometers from Darłowo ( Rügenwalde );
    • the Motz or Stolper Motze , which arises at Bruskowo Wielkie ( Groß Brüskow ) and flows into the Wipper at Pieszcz ( Peest ).
