The Bielefeld Lutter is not of natural origin, but was in 1452 - much to the annoyance of the monks of the monastery of Marienfeld, who feared for their water supply - from Gütersloh Lutter just behind the source ( the Lutterkolk ) excavated and partially diverted to the northeast. The water was the moat between the Bielefeld Old and New Towns fed what the actually flowing through Bielefeld beans Bach and Voßbach not sufficient. This decision was approved by the then Earl of Ravens mountain Gerhard von Jülich and Berg.
A basis has been established for the mills, bleaching and spinning mills of the city by this measure.
Because of ongoing pollution from industrial effluents private use was no longer possible, so that several measures have been considered in the 19th century. From 1893 until the early 20th century, the Lutterbach was piped in Bielefeld. 2001, the club was founded per Lutter eV, which it has set itself the goal of a total of 2.5 km of Lutter Bach expose places again and lead a more visible stream running through the city center. The first phase of construction at the Gymnasium am Waldhof was completed after three months of construction 2004. However, the underground piping is still in use, since only a portion of Lutter water is conducted above ground and the water of the above-ground flow can be shut off. A further extension by the Tax Office to the dam pond 1 is planned.
