The Leimbach is a six kilometer long tributary of the right or north-easterly Dhünn in North Rhine -Westphalia.

Course

The Leimbach rises in the green area of Odenthal - Blecher, north of Leimbacher path. It flows first through a green area to the southwest, his main flow direction, which he retains substantially to its mouth. On its banks he is thereby surrounded by many trees. South of cock Blecher him the little stream falls from wood. Shortly thereafter, he is dammed at the Grone Borner Mühle to Grone Borner fish ponds. A little later, it reached the heir Richer Bach. At the boundary between Odenthal Leverkusen and the creek now runs through a wooded area south of Gronenborn and Bodden mountain pass. There he paid to the Maßsiefen and Boddenbergsiefen. For longitudinal Leimbach he hits a snag of about 80 meters south-east to return it right back in his usual direction. After crossing under the Teitscheider path is fed from Teitscheider Bach. South of Half Leimbach he takes on the Schlinghofer Bach. He now flows on the northern edge of the wooded Leimbacher Rottland. When Höfer mill he is from Horkenbach and strengthened shortly afterwards by Höfer ditch. He now runs along the southern edge of courtyards. The Glöbuscher and Benscheider meadows he takes on the Neuenhaussiefen, the Benscheider creek and the Bergsiefen. He now moves on the southern edge of Leimbacher mountain through a wooded terrain, which he leaves the Faßbacherhof. Here he is fed by Faßbach. Its course now leads through meadows and fields past the Leimbacher yard. Its course is now heavily straightened. It crosses the L 288, passed the Limbacherau and finally ends in Leverkusen -Schlebusch, north of the residential area forest settlement, in the Dhünn.
