Brunnbach (München)

The Brunnbach is about three kilometers long river in the Munich district of Bogenhausen and a right tributary of the Isar River.

Course

Today Brunnbach has its sources in the Isar in the former Montgelas garden in today's Duke Park. In the beginning of the stream several private properties are traversed, where the stream is partially taken into tubes. It follows a public green space at the Brunn Bachleite. Behind the 2010 closed pub in Springvale the stream runs through private property, then it follows in a straight line to the Middle -Isar Canal, flows through the grounds of St. Emmeram and is passed after about 500 meters, in a culvert under the Middle Isarkanal.

On the local Oberföhringer Isar island he supplied by means of a pumping station in the landmarked former Oberföhringer raft keeper's house a pond. The majority of its water occurs north of St. Emmeram Bridge from a stone fountain designed as a foot back to the surface and flows into two arms in the Isar.

With the development of the Duke of parks Brunnbach the Montgelas road north was filled. The former headwaters of Brunn Bach in the Maximilian Park is now a separate stream and carries the name Brunnthaler source stream or source stream. It ends at the stone Straße in the two-part Steinbacher small pond from which an underground drain runs south of the Max -Joseph- bridge in the Isar ..
