The Wipper in Hettstedt

The Wipper is an approximately 85 km long left tributary of the Saale . The Wipper is one of the first-class waters in Saxony-Anhalt .

course

It rises on the Auerberg near Stolberg in the Harz Mountains and flows into the Saale near Bernburg . A few kilometers before the confluence, the Liethe branches off from the Wipper near Amesdorf and flows into the Bode near Staßfurt .

Waters on the course of the river

On its way to the Saale, the Wipper crosses the following waters:

Places along the river

are the health resorts of Wippra , Friesdorf , Rammelburg , Biesenrode , Vatterode , Leimbach , Großörner , Hettstedt , Wiederstedt , Sandersleben , Freckleben , Drohndorf , Mehringen , Aschersleben , Klein Schierstedt , Groß Schierstedt , Giersleben , Warmsdorf , Güsten , Osmarsleben , Ilberstedt and Bernburg .

Mills along the river

  • Wippermühle in Wippra (today Mühlencafe)
  • Kratzmühle between Friesdorf and Rammelburg , named after the first owner, Nickel Kratz
  • Herrenmühle between Friesdorf and Rammelburg , (today a car repair shop) was a children's holiday camp for a long time
  • Klippmühle between Biesenrode and Vatterode : In 1848 August Schumann bought a flour milling and sawmill that was taken over by Reinhold Schumann in 1893. With the construction of the Wipperliese he opened a bar and soon afterwards a restaurant next door. This was taken over by his son Reinhold in 1923. After the Second World War , his daughter initially continued the business until it was taken over by the HO in 1950. In 1980 the building had to be closed due to dilapidation. It finally came to an end with the demolition in 1996.
  • Obermühle in Biesenrode Dreiseitenhof with half-timbering
  • Untermühle in Biesenrode , Vierseitenhof rebuilt after fire in 1914
  • Big mill in Vatterode : The "Big Mill" was mentioned in 1410 by Cyriakus Spangenberg and bought in 1832 by the Mansfeld Kuxgewerkschaft. In 1952 the LPG "Wippertal" took over the mill until it passed into the possession of the Lange family in 1996.
  • Village mill in Großörner
  • Pfeiffermühle in Großörner : The Pfeiffermühle has existed since at least the 16th century and was mainly used as a metallurgical plant. From 1906 to 1930 the bread bakery of Mansfeld AG could be found in their buildings. Nearby is the Mühlenbad, an outdoor swimming pool that is still used extensively today.
  • Meadow mill in Großörner
  • Obermühle in Hettstedt : The Obermühle (also called Graumanns Mühle) comprised the area of ​​today's professional fireworks Hettstedt, the outpatient clinic and the AOK. The mill itself had to be demolished in 1930, although the city of Hettstedt had tried to save the mill with an extensive renovation. Up to the present day only the street names that refer to a former mill location have been preserved - Obermühlenstraße and Mühlgartenstraße.
  • Ratsmühle in Hettstedt : The Ratsmühle (also called Mittel- or Heunemühle) was probably built in the 11th or beginning of the 12th century and was located at the level of today's Sparkasse. It was first mentioned in a document in 1543 as a Heunenmühle. In 1603 it came into the possession of the city of Hettstedt and has since been referred to as the council or manor mill. It was then leased out several times before being sold in 1858. After that it was owned by the third family for a long time. On October 17th, 1967 the mill burned down so badly that it was no longer worth rebuilding. The burnt down mill finally disappeared in October 1983 when the Untere Bahnhofstrasse got its current shape.
  • Untermühle in Hettstedt : The Untermühle in Hettstedt was first mentioned in 1480 and is located at the end of today's Untermühlenstraße. Since the 16th century it has also been referred to as the hay mill or meadow mill. Since its inception, it has been in the port of Mansfeld. After the dynasty of the counts died out in 1780, the mill became the property of the Electors of Saxony. Nevertheless, the mill tenant was able to bequeath the mill to the family members as an inheritance. The Körbitz family was the last owner of the mill before it became the property of LPG in 1960 as a company mill. In 1980 it ceased operations. Today the mill building and the mill wheel are badly devastated.

Flood

  • 1994: On April 12th and 13th, 1994 in the Lower Harz there was heavy rainfall of up to 75 liters per square meter. This led to the crossing of numerous rivers and streams. The Wipper and thus all places along the river were also affected by the flood.

Origin of name

Elfriede Ulbricht saw here an origin from Middle Low German , Dutch or Middle English Wippen. According to this, the river name is used 15 times in Germany, also in variations such as Wipfer . The basic word was originally aha (a variant of -au ). This was weakened in the late 10th century on -a and in the early 11th century on -e and then disappeared completely at the Wipper. In other rivers of this name, the -a or -e was preserved. The name would be made up of rotating, rotating, swaying movement and water (in the sense of flowing water).

Felix Solmsen and Ernst Fraenkel assumed a very similar meaning, but saw the root of the name with an even older, Indo-European origin and translate the river name as the hopping .
