The Linnicher mill pond ( pond and creek, from the junction with the worm also known as Erlenbach ) is above the weir Linnicher diverted from the Rur watercourse. He was assigned to the 2826 Water Code ( GWK).

Course

The pond creek crosses behind Linnich the Untermerzbach and flows in a northerly direction, first east to Brachelen over. Between Hilfarth and Porselen it is connected to the worm and growing, especially in high water in the worm, a part of the worm on water. The other bed of the mill pond from the connection with the worm is approximately equal to the former course of the worm, from the junction carries the mill pond the name Erlenbach. The Erlenbach opens north of Bleckden, a local part of Porselen, at the bulwark against the Adolfosee in the Rur. The worm, however, united only at Heinberg Kempen with the Rur.

Mills and tanneries

As the name says the mill pond, the creek once powered numerous water mills and was also used by various tanneries. In Linnich he drove the Weitz'sche mill in the city center. The renovated and expanded building over the water running now houses the German Stained Glass Museum.
