Its source is located on the eastern flank of the mountain in the Seemeinersgraben valley notch at an altitude of around 520  m .

The flowing water , also known as Berksbach (also known as the left source creek) in the upper reaches , initially runs through the Seemeinersgraben and then to the northeast.

It flows through Roßbach a little below this brook union, which is about 265  m above sea level .

From then on, the brook flows northward in the Kleinalmeröder hill country along the state road  3389. Then it runs north-east along the county road  65 through Ellingerode . After the confluence of the Krumbach (Krummbach) coming from Kleinalmerode , the stream flows northeast along the L 3237.

Finally, the Wilhelmshausen Bach runs northwest past Witzenhausen , to flow into the Werra at a height of about 130  m after crossing under the L 3238 (with the Werra valley cycle path ) .
