Eiter

The pus, also written Eyter before the 20th century, is a small left tributary of the Weser River, which flows in Thedinghausen - Eissel in the Middle Weser.

River

The Upper pus arises initially as a normal field drainage ditch in a Mühlensee Bruchhausen- Vilsener district Homfeld ( about 20 kilometers south of Bremen). From there, the very slow-flowing creek meanders resistant to the north and ends after 4.3 miles into the main channel, an additional drainage ditch. 1,100 meters he seeks his own bed again. From here the river is called only pus. While the pus traverses the vast Bruchwiesen, their flow to the Riet Lake and the Old Landwehr right side. A few kilometers further flows through the now almost five meters wide and officially designated as river water running by the next larger town Thedinghausen. Immediately after this takes the pus with the Oetzer Seegraben and the Wischkämpegraben two more tributaries on (even those from the right side ). In the Thedinghausener district Eissel a pumping station is located on the river, behind which the river is straightened. Thus directed joins the pus after about a kilometer in the Weserbogen " caper ".

The pus was the Meliorationsgenossenschaft Bruchhausen- Syke- Thedinghausen just like the Süstedter Bach as drainage run and this was deepened and straightened.

About a kilometer southeast of the mouth ( near a sewage treatment plant ) is an approximately 600 meters in length measuring, separate branch of the river. This is caused by the straightening of the last section of the river and has received the name Old pus. South of Thedinghausen also flows a drainage ditch, which is called Small pus, but has no direct connection to the actual flow.

The pus is crossed during their run of 14 road bridges. The largest of them is the cast iron bridge in Thedinghausen that is replaced at the time by a new road crossing.
