The Seebach is a river in the municipality Ismaning in the Bavarian district of Munich.

Today's course

The creek begins west of Ismaning storage lake. The majority of its volume of water it receives from the Gleißach which is passed at the height of Teichguts Birkenhof through a culvert under the Medium - Isar Canal. Additional water comes from a moat, the water from the Middle -Isar channel is supplied. The stream is initially continued underground and comes to 20m north of the parallel to the Middle -Isar canal running path back to the surface.

After a distance of around 3.5 kilometers, in parts as local stream running through the center of Ismaning, the Seebach opens at river kilometer 134.2 in the Isar. Apart from Gleißenbach and Kernbach Seebach now has no designated natural inflows more.

Historical development

Until the construction of the Middle -Isar canal from the year 1921, the Seebach was about nine miles long and sprang in John kirchener moss between Johanneskirchen and Aschheim. With the lowering of the groundwater level in the construction of canal and reservoir it lost its headwaters, which were described in detail in 1832 by Anton Eisenmann and Karl Friedrich scorn in their topo- geographical- statistical Lexicon of the kingdoms of Bavaria:

" Seebach, Bach in the Ldg. Erding and Munich, which in Erdinger Moose by the confluence of the arising with Riem Breitenbach, then the upper trenches, the bird trench, upper and lower - Dornachbächels, long trench, Haresselbächels, Fahrtbächels, Aschheimerbaches, Müller trench and Föhringerbaches, millstream, Black fountain, old trench, Neugrabens, large and small Erlbaches, Körngrabens and Koppenbachels arises, in Ismaning receives the Gleisachbächel and below Ismaning falls into the river Isar. "

The construction of the canal had to Seebach, according to a description from the year 1936 a significant impact:

" In Seebach area of the upper trench that Dornach Bach, Dornacher Grenzgraben, Dornacher village ditch, Habröselbach and Aschheimer Mühlbach were, which together form the Mühlbach ( according to its junction with the Föhringer Bach he is called Seebach ) cut by the Abfanggraben and received. A number of other streams, such as track property, Humpelgraben, Big Erlbach, Small Erlbach, Fahrbach, are diminished in their water supply. This is the Seebach, whose course is interrupted by the works canal and fish ponds in the other, drained in its upper part. His underflow shows a marked reduction in the amount of water. In order to maintain the operation of the located in this creek mills, water had to be temporarily over slides from the factory channel. "

As compensation for the canceled headwaters of Seebach is now powered by the sliding property.

Economic use

In Ismaning Seebach was (see list of monuments in Ismaning ) and to supply water of a paper mill used by two mills. Moreover founded 33 Ismaning citizens in 1898 a " Consortium for the construction of an electric Centrale " for the construction and operation of a hydropower plant on the Seebach. It achieved a turbine with an output of 60 hp. After the end of the interim local hydropower turbine with a now 31 kilowatts of power in 2008 in the now converted to a municipal cultural center Seidl - mill reinstalled.
