It is one of the four major bodies of water in the north side of the High Flaming: Buckau, tarpaulin, Verlorenwasser, Temnitz. The river is 35 km long and empties into the Breitlingsee, which is traversed by the river Havel.

Name

The name of the Buckau is of Slavic origin and means " book Bach". In medieval documents the Buckau is also sometimes called " Grobion ", which can be seen in the context of the deserted village " trenches ", which at its lower reaches - was just before the mouth. Today, still refers to the dwelling place Wendgräben to the abandoned settlement of the Middle Ages.

Origin and Evolution

The Buckauquelle is about 1 km from Görzke, south side of the road after Reppinichen, on the southeastern slope of the 126 m high mountain bull. Their height is specified by Grasow with 89 meters above sea level. Thus, the flow overcomes approximately 70 meters. After the Buckau Görzke has happened west, it assumes the birch rice mill between the villages Rottstock and Buckau on the main road 107 to the almost equally long Riembach, which is also referred to as a second source of Bach Buckau. This has its origin northeast of Görzke between Görzke and the deserted village Dangel village on the edge of the nuns Heath.

The Buckau then flows through the village of the same name, flows east to Köpernitz and then about 2 km distance east of Ziesar over. In Bücknitz ( name comes from the Buckau, " Buckaudorf " ) leaves the Buckau the flaming and has piled up from here an extensive alluvial fan almost to the middle of Fiener break into it. The Buckau flows on the eastern edge of its alluvial northeast across the Fiener break, which is a part of Glogau - Baruth glacial valley, and then on the northern edge of the break, on the southern edge of the resultant in the Saale glaciation Karower plate to Viesen and Mahlenzien over to the east. They wrap around the east Mahlenziener Sander ( Marcinek 1961).

After the Buckau has about 1 km east of the Brandenburg hamlet Mahlenzien started its tributary Verlorenwasser, she turns in a wide arc north again. She touched the Brandenburg residential places " New Mill " and " Wendgräben " belonging to Brandenburg an der Havel since time immemorial and the settlement type here are Waldweiler settlements. A few hundred meters behind Wendgräben crosses under the Buckau today called "Magdeburg high road ", the used since the Middle Ages old trade route from Magdeburg Ziesar to Brandenburg an der Havel, and one-half mile north of the railway line Berlin - Magdeburg.

Behind the railway bridge in the mouth region begins in a lush, marshy and delta -like grounds. The actual discharge takes place in a straight east-west extension of 450 meters from the southern tip of the island Kiehnwerder which separates the lake from Moser 's Breitlingsee. The Buckau is the last flaming water, which flows into the Havel.

Flow rate

The fraction Fiener a flow rate of 0.2 to 0.3 m / s is measured in the Buckau. The Havel leads the river to about 2 m³ / s of water. The Buckau drains a catchment area of 427.8 km ².

Importance

The Buckau is not navigable. Therefore, your only economic importance today lies in the power of some fish ponds and for fishing itself as a useful mühltreibendes waters, as it existed in earlier times often, is no longer today. In contrast, a tourist use of the extremely beautiful river basin of Buckau with its meadows and mixed forests is becoming increasingly important.
