Geography

Course

The source of Fuhne is Löberitz ( district of the city Zoerbig ) in Saxony- Anhalt. North of Zoerbig it divides and flows in two directions. In the west it opens in the city of Bernburg (Saale ) belonging to the district Dröbel in the hall and in the east it flows into Raguhn into the trough. The term " bifurcation " refers to the fact that the Fuhne their direction of flow of a river to the other did not, but sent their water from a common source in both directions. Mulde and Saale are direct tributaries of the Elbe. Until the 1990s, was the eastern part of Fuhne because of discharges of industrial effluents as charged.

The Fuhne has a length of 59 kilometers ( from mouth to mouth ) - the inflow of Löberitz is only a few hundred meters long and neglect. From the south open two streams flowing in the west part of the Fuhne that bring even the majority of the water:

  • Of the 28 -kilometer Strengbach - source at Leipzig / Halle / Estuary at Radegast Airport ( Southern Anhalt)
  • 20 kilometer Riede - source Oppin in Halle ( Saale) / Estuary near Glauzig.

Further downstream direction hall opens on the right side and from the east the Ziethe with a length of 25 kilometers in the Fuhne.

Origin of the name

On the origin of the river name, there are several theories. Maybe the name is a composition of the Middle High German terms fon or fun or FUL ( rotten, putrid ) and AHA ( stream, river, water) based on what the interpretation of " marsh river " allows that to the situation of the water in a wetland alludes. Another theory suggested the origin of the name in Gothic funins (fire), which requires the name of the river could mean " shiny water ".

Historically occupied, however, is the development of the spelling of Fona about FONAM, Vona, Vonam, Uonam, Vůne and Voynen to today's word Fuhne.
