The cold Erbach is a right tributary of the Amper in Upper Bavaria.

Course

The cold Erbach is the discharge from the Feldmochinger lake on the southern border of the Dachau moss, in which the groundwater in there flattening gravel layer of the Munich gravel plain accumulated. It flows north through Feldmoching, on its northern edge it encounters the Würm canal, which he crossed tunneled. Excess water of Würmkanals is thereby absorbed by the cold Erbach. The section between the Feldmochinger lake and the Würm canal is also called Würmhölzlgraben.

The cold Erbach now flows through the Schwarzhoelzl and crosses the Dachau Schleißheimer channel. Behind the Obergrashof opens the Saubach in the cold Erbach. Shortly before its confluence with the Amper at Ampermoching uses the cold mill at Hebertshausen the water power of the cold Erbach.

History

By tapping into the Upper Bavarian castle system through channels was the running of the cold Erbach by the Würm canal (1601 or 1687 ) and the Dachau Schleißheimer channel (1691 - 92) thwarted. A reconstructed water crossing at Schwebelbach shows the then state of the intersections of the cold Erbach, at which there was a water mixing.

By cutting peat began around 1800 in the Dachau moss, the water table and thus the depth of the cold Erbach fell into the following 200 years. By 1920, a comprehensive grave system in the Dachau moss was created. To launch its cold Erbach was deepened to 1917 at the instigation of the top grass court in possession of the Munich Löwenbräu in 1915 by French prisoners of war and straightened and applied the current flowing in the cold Erbach Franzosengraben. This happened even though the adjacent Schwarzhoelzl in 1913 put under protection the first time and thus the water table was lowered tremendously.

The source of the cold Erbach was dredged in the thirties for the purpose of gravel extraction and there was the Feldmochinger lake. Meanwhile, the lake is a recreation area and the opening out cold Erbach was designed nature closer to the border of the city of Munich. Due to the water table lowering by building the Rowing Course cold Erbach narrowed by two-thirds since the remaining water seeps. Barrages help the brook now to its original width, but the amount of water is reduced drastically. On the territory of the district of Dachau were from Dachau Moss Association, an association of residents of the Dachau moss, performed minor water management measures.
