The Woogbach , called Nonnenbach on the lower course , is a good 9 km long flowing water in Rhineland-Palatinate and a left branch of the Speyerbach , from which it draws its water and into which it flows back again. The stream flows along its entire length in the Vorderpfalz .

Course and tributaries

Woogbach in the west of Speyer

The Woogbach does not have its own source , but separates at 107  m above sea level. NHN on the western edge of Hanhofen , at the so-called Hanhofer Wassergescheid , from the Speyerbach with half its water volume to the left. In a largely easterly direction it flows through Hanhofen and Dudenhofen before reaching Speyer . There it flows in a large curve to the right through an approximately 2.5 km long green belt . It then flows back into the Speyerbach from the left in front of the Mittelsteg road bridge at a height of 94  m , which in turn reaches the Rhine after another 800 m .

In addition to the Speyerbach itself, the Woogbach has two main sources of water: A left tributary is the 5 km long Altwiesenbach , which initially crosses under the Woogbach on the western edge of Dudenhofen to the left and flows into it after 500 m from the left. 200 m below this point, also in Dudenhofen, the strongest tributary flows from the right, the 33.6 km long Hainbach . Both mouths are a few meters south and north of the federal highway 39 , which leads from Speyer to Neustadt an der Weinstrasse .

traffic

One after the other, the Woogbach crosses under the B 39 in Dudenhofen, west of Speyer the A 61 ( Hockenheim - Mönchengladbach ) and within the city the Schifferstadt-Wörth railway line . Shortly before it merges with the Speyerbach, the Woogbach flows right past the Helmut Bantz Stadium .
