Problem in the naming of the source streams

Regarding the main source of the water body Free Bach is a contradiction between the official waters stationing map of North Rhine -Westphalia and the continuing of the districts and municipalities in the local land registries German base map 1:5,000 ( DKG5 ) and cadastral map. At the country level, the waters deployment is performed according to the guidelines of the LAWA, while administrative judge at the municipal and county levels after the DGK5.

Therefore, in the case of the free Bach to a difference in the name of the main source and the other Quellzuläufe. The municipalities and the circles are of the view of the coming of Landwehr source inlet is the main source stream for the free stream and feed accordingly refer to this as a free stream. The country sees the coming of the turnpike source feed the main entrance, and leads him in their waters lists and cards. Unite at the Landwehr again two Quellzuäufe, one of Obernhof, a coming of Freudenberg. If you follow the view of the circles / communities and DGK5 so arises at this point again the question of what should be these two unlabeled Quellzuläufe the free stream.
