The Deilbach is a left-side tributary of the Ruhr in North Rhine -Westphalia, Germany.

Geography

The Deilbach springs north of the district of Wuppertal Barmen at 301 meters above sea level on single kayaks. NN on the watershed of the river Wupper and dysentery and ends after almost 21 kilometers in food - Kupferdreh at 51 meters above sea level. NN in the Ruhr.

In Langenberg is Deilbach and Hardberger Bach unite (coming from Neviges and in Langenberg primarily as " Mill Brook" known) and limit where the old town with 136 listed buildings of fine half-timbered facades and slate. Between Langenberg and Nierenhof it flows from the right of the fields Bach (from the Felderbachtal Coming ) to and in Nierenhof, also from the right, Heier mountain stream (from the Wodantal ). The Deilbach also flows through the town Dill village, now part of food Kupferdreh.

The Deilbach led to 1864 "at the Kupper Turn " in Essen- Kupferdreh in the Ruhr. The mouth was expanded to the port where coal and ore were handled. The mouth was moved about 200 meters to the north by the construction of the Phoenix hut at this point, where it is still located today on Baldeneysee. The marshy old port sank in the waters of Lake Baldeney was dammed as this 1930.

The Deilbach also patterns in the area of Langenberg a language barrier Deilbach - Issel - line ( unit plural line), which is ruled out as part of the Lower Franconian Benrather line from the Treaty of Westphalia. This is particularly evident in the pronunciation of certain words. The word "bicycle" (in addition to older fiets ) is west of the Deilbaches with the stressed long vowel a pronounced; east, so rather Westphalian, the word "bicycle" as " Farrat " pronounced. The temporal adverb "now" is the west as " jezz " pronounced east anlautend with "g", or " geez ". Striking feature is the pronunciation of " r ", which is largely not pronounced but is spoken by an indicated "a", " Do- atmund " instead of " Dortmund "; " Paddabo - to " instead of " Paderborn ".

Etymology

Try searching the name origin for the Deilbach, formerly called Deile or Deele, are Thidelda, Tithelda. ( An indication of a Germanic settlers, but which is nowhere used). Another interpretation refers to " part Bach", share of (the country ). The Deilbach also formed always been the boundary between different government areas, such as between the reign Hardenberg Become a part of the Duchy of Berg and later ruled Brandenburg March territory of the abbey. Previously, he was in the early Middle Ages the middle of the Grenzsaums between the dominions of the Franks and the Saxons. Another, not improbable origin is the expression Didele ( " Dideln " = uneasy ), as a reference to the numerous meandering turns of the creek.

Hydropower

The water of the Deilbaches has been used ever since to drive mills ( Deiler mill). Early industry works such as the Deiler Koperhut around 1550 (later Deiler copper hammer ) and the Deilbachhammer (Iron Hammer) in 1650, and the first railway company on German soil, the " Deilthaler Railway " or Prince William Railway make the Deilbachteil at Kupferdreh the cradle of the industrial the southern Ruhr area. The railway line through the Deilbachtal since 1830 ( until 1844 as Schmalspur-/Pferdebahn ) until today in continuous operation. Today, the trains of the S- Bahn line 9 from Wuppertal to holders.

The ensemble now forms the museum landscape Deilbachtal of the Ruhr Museum and is part of both the Essenes monument paths as well as the Route of Industrial Heritage.
