The Medebek is a small stream in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Course

It rises in the district of St. Gertrude in the district Marli / fire tree, in the former rural district Wesloe, west of Wesloer meadows and north of the Wesloer highway. It flows in a northeasterly direction through the Lauerholz, further Travemünde Avenue, now slightly to the west of the Medebekstraße who gives the name, along and finally flows south of the Schwartaueinmündung and the peninsula in the nature reserve Schellbruch and thus into the Travelodge, on the once Liubice, Alt -Lübeck, was located.

History

The Medebek was past the scene of various restoration attempts and so a 175,000 euro expensive project was adopted, among others, and performed in 2002. The Medebek is a major receiving water for St. Gertrude, the surface water from the built-up areas is derived in the forest where it is urgently needed. It is now far less polluted than it was several years ago and once again offers relatively good water quality and biodiversity.
