The farmer digging in the Burgaue (1907 ) and the New billet (red dashed line)

The farmer digging is a left tributary of the new billet. It runs exclusively on Leipzig's city area and is water law, a body of water of the second order.

The farmer digging rises in Lindenau in a small garden near the road Rietschel and is fed by several underground road gullies. He first runs to the north, gets at the Gustav- Esche -Straße in Leutzsch about 0.2 m³ / s of water from the creek Burgau fed and then changes its flow direction to the north-west. This keeps the farmer digging until he north of the Alfred - Kunze- Sportpark reached the former riverbed of the billet, which it flows through length to about 450 meters.

Subsequently, the Bauerngraben divides into two branches. During the incipient here Alte billet continue following the former bed of the billet, the Bauerngraben branches on the right side to the north and flows of the crossing of Burgau brook northwest by the Burgaue. About 200 meters before its confluence with the New billet takes on the Bauerngraben the Burgau Bach, although this one has a much larger drain.

Before the construction of a new billet in the 1930s Bauerngraben resulted in the dogs water, which is a former tributary of the White Elster. He ran exclusively on the right side of the billet and was much shorter than today. Its upper course was not referred to as farmer digging and led separately as in the area of ​​today's branch in the billet.
