Ohm (river)
Ohms above the Wohramündung
The Ohm is a 59.8 km long, left or southeast tributary of the Lahn in Central Hesse, Germany.
Course
The Ohm rises in the Vogelsberg east of Ulrich stone on the western flank of 607 m above sea level. NN high head at about 577 m above sea level. NN. From its source it flows in a westerly direction by Ulrich Stein and upper Seibertenrod. Here they directed their course to the northeast. After passing of sub - Seibertenrod it reaches the municipality of mosquito, flows through the villages of Ober- Ohmen Ruppertenrod and Wettsaasen. Between Cherry Orchard and low - Ohmen opens on the left side of the lakes creek.
From here on, the Ohm flows in a northerly direction over low - Ohmen and reaches at castle - Gemünden the municipality of Gemünden. In low - Gemünden the Ohm absorbs the inflowing from the right Felda and turns its course back to the northwest. From here on to the Homberg Ohm has little slope.
Homberg is reached after a few kilometers, the city is situated high on the right side of the river. The in- town area 295 m high Schlossberg forces the Ohm into a striking arc. The Ohm here still has a height of about 210 m above sea level. NN. By upper Ofleiden where there is a level of the Hessian State Office for Environment and Geology, and to low - Ofleiden over the Ohm continues its way in a northeasterly direction. The urban area of Stadtallendorf is traversed in pigs mountain. This splits the course of ohms, to the left of today's main river flows through the Old ohms, the only reunites with Amoeneburg with the Ohms. From pig mountain to the mouth of the Ohm has barely gradient, it flows through the Amöneburg Basin.
Between Rüdigheim and Amoeneburg the Ohm takes the left side on the Rulfbach. Then Amoeneburg is circled right. Here takes the right ohms coming from Stadtallendorf Klein and passes church grove where the Wohra leads right into ohms.
Between Amoeneburg, church grove, wholesale and Kleinseelheim and Niederwald Ohm flows through the flood retention basins Kirchhain / ohms and take the next left on Litter. In the further course Schönenbach left Anzefahr is right by the river. Between Anzefahr and Bürgeln the Ohm a second level happens at the grove mill. In Bürgeln the Ohm reached the urban area of Coelbe. Up to its confluence with the river Lahn Cölber corner it forms the border between Marburg and Coelbe.
Your mouth is located at about 193 m above sea level. NN, so that she has mastered on their 59.8 km long route an altitude difference of about 384 m. It is worth noting that only 27 m is 32 km long section from the influx of Felda to the mouth of the Lahn natural fall available, which corresponds to a bed slope of 0.84 ‰.

Useful information about the flow size
In particular, within the Vogelsberg, the roll-call ohms is just one of many major rivers. Does it contribute to Felda estuary of the Lower Vogelsberg still the lion's share ( MQ: 1933.3 l / s compared to the 1276.4 Felda ) for, it shall clearly above, in the lakes creek estuary, ( with 396.2 l / s ) on a three times as large ( 1288.4 l / s ) Lakes Bach system!
Mills
Along the ohms were up in the 1970s a number of mills in operation, of which a large part is preserved.
