History

The Brunnisach was straightened in the 1880s on the districts by Mark Dorf, Riedheim, Lipbach, Kluftern and Efrizweiler. Thus, the river flowed in this area 100 years in a straightened stream bed before one in the Lettenhof below the village Riedheim a meandering natural stream reestablished as part of a restoration on a short section and prohibit by legal requirements of water protection, the barriers and regulations of streams, the Brunnisach gradually again creates a natural stream. The Brunnisach was repeatedly contaminated with manure in the surrounding agriculture, killing small organisms in the water and thereby destroys the habitat for fish due to lack of food. The stream needed for such impurities more than a decade to recover again. Various cleaning actions of the local clubs and school liberated the waters of garbage and other contaminants. The actions ran under the term " Puzete " (for example, 2005 through the primary school Kluftern ).

Fishing

The Brunnisach has few fish stock on ( lake trout, chub, grayling, barbel and other white fish ). Especially young fish are often in these waters, as sufficient food is available. However, in the summer fishing is hardly possible, as the creek then carries very little water. Also, by numerous ecological accidents, it was a long time not possible to manage the Brunnisach. The Fishing Club ( ASV) Friedrichshafen farmed the river for a distance of three kilometers.
