Friedberger Ach

The Friedberger Ach about 3.5 km before Thierhaupten

The Friedberger Ach - short even called Oh, and in the headwaters of Lost creek, creek gallows and Hagenbach - is a 92 km long right tributary of the Danube. It rises north-east of Landsberg am Lech and flows parallel to the Lech to the Danube.

River

The river rises as Lost creek in the Upper Bavarian sub- Mühlhausen (municipality Penzing ) northeast of Landsberg at Penzinger military airfield and subsequently flows through the communities of Weil and Prittriching. The creek enters the upper reaches its name several times: From Prittriching he called " gallows Bach" and from Merching Hagenbach.

The Lech runs just a few hundred meters further west. In the field of Kissing the Hagenbach the reclaimed Lech approaches even up to about 100 m. Between Kissing and Augsburg- inch high the creek then bends to the northeast and away from the Lech. From Friedberg he called " Friedberger Ach ".

A few kilometers east of the Lech Friedberger Ach then flows to the Danube. Other towns along its course are Mühlhausen, Rehling, Thierhaupten and Münster.

Behind the town Rain makes the river veers right and flows about ten kilometers parallel to this in the floodplain forests of the Danube. He finally ends together with the little pair west of Neuburg at Stepperg (market Rennertshofen ).

History

Until no more than about 10,000 years, the Friedberger Ach the lower reaches of the pair until it was tapped at Friedberg- Ottmaring about the pair breakdown.

The Friedberger Ach in its current overall course is an artificial construct, which is also the reason for the different name in the upper reaches. Originally the river sprang south of Friedberg - where are still close to the couple breakthrough today the original Achquellen - and culminated between sand (municipality Todtenweis ) and Thierhaupten in the then branched far Lech. From 1555 on, most of the water was diverted into the Edenhauser brook that flowed through Thierhaupten to Rain to have more water for the mills and the defenses available in Rain, which was a Bavarian border town at the time. The headwaters of the cell at Will Precht (municipality Petersdorf ) springing Edenhauser Bach thus became a right tributary of the Ach.

By 1860 the previously flowing from Kissing by Hochzoll Hagenbach was diverted to supply the Oh before Friedberg more water. After adjustment of the Lech in the 1920s, the water table fell, and dried up the sources of Hagenbach. For this reason, the gallows creek or the Lost creek was diverted and the Hagenbach supplied. The Lost Bach - formerly known as Rohrach - led by then west of Mering in Lech.

The Lost Bach himself was regulated in 1965 in the village Prittriching of flood protection reasons and moved a bit to the west.

The mouth of the Ah was changed in the course of the Danube regulation and the construction of the barrage at Bertoldsheim. To prevent backflow into the river, respect was guided past the dam and flows only below the barrage.
