Mönchsbach (Goldbach)

BW

The monk Bach, also Silberborn Bach, is an orographic right tributary of Goldbach's.

Naming

It rises in a Silberborn reason mentioned valley, west of Blankenburg ( Harz). Silver stands for the quality of the water. This does not necessarily indicate on silver, which was not encouraged here in the water. Rather, it can be assumed that the clear, silvery water of the creek its name. Born is a first from 1469 occupied an appellative. It means source or spring water. Thus, the Silberborn Bach is a stream whose source provides very clear, silvery shimmering water. Reason comes from the Old High German or Middle High German word grunt, which was in the original meaning of the ground, or simply the Bottom of something. From the Middle High German a name for a deep valley, or such a gorge has become of it specifically. The valley was thus obviously named after the source. The actual name of the creek is formed from the name of the source, with subsequently appended - bach.

The current name of monk Bach probably are related directly to the monastery on the lower reaches of the stream.

Description

From some mountain springs water flows to. The river follows the valley and flows through a 9 -acre park, part of the forest related to Oesig peace, and is dammed in two trout ponds. Before 1898, the recent refurbishment of the forest peace to a hotel where a paint mill was operated. For energy was for Hydroelectric power, with the help of a water wheel generated. The use as a hotel and restaurant ended on 30 June 1997; since 2000, the forest monk at peace Bach is used as a residence.

After leaving the park the creek flows northward to, right side to open out at the street At the Lindenberg, of the coming of the devil Bach K1347 in the Goldbach.
