Oos (river)

Oos in Baden -Baden

The Oos, also called Oosbach, is a river in the northern Black Forest. It flows through Baden- Baden and ends after 25 kilometers at Rastatt in a commercial channel of the Murg.

Name

According to tradition, the Celts should have called the watercourse " Ausawa ", which translates as shiny or bright shining water means.

Geography

Source

The headwaters of the Oos located in the foothill of the Black Forest, below the nearly 700 meter high forest guest house Scherrhof. Several small, mostly unnamed streams unite in this area to Oos. The two largest rivers are named Scherr Bach and calves water. The source area is an important donor of drinking water, the water is stored in elevated tanks.

Course

Some 430 meters difference in altitude have to be covered from the headwaters to the north, to the River Oos passes at Gaisbach on Forellenhof westward and makes its way through the valley.

It flows past by Oberbeuern and on the south side of the monastery Lichtenthal and thereafter the Baden Baden in Baden -Baden crossed by several artfully fabricated bars.

Until the mid- 19th century, the current flowing in this valley portion Oos was divided into different arms. On August 1, 1851, the mostly harmless waters swelled after a cloudburst on solid and stranded logs and house parts which destroyed the bridges of the city, with it. A temporary bridge at the Hôtel d' Angleterre allowed that the spa guests could reach the Conversation House and the casino.

This disaster was the catalyst for the correction and control of Oos. She received her still existing bed.

In Baden -Baden Oos flows to the light Allee and the torch Park-Hotel & Spa through the Imperial Avenue at the Kurhaus, at the Pump Room and the Hotel European farmyard, crosses under the Hindenburgplatz and disappears at the height of the Festspielhaus until the intersection of Waldseestraße and railway road again in the underground.

Flanked From Ooswinkel the Oos the Black Forest road to the Oos district.

Even there it has been regulated in the 19th century. To solve a centuries-old swamp, the Oos was divided after 1851. Compared to today's Church of Peace, an arm was drawn west to the coming of the Buhler area Sandbach. The second arm made ​​its way north towards Sandweier.

The westward leading Ooskanal is taken from Sandbach. The sand creek flows south of Iffezheim into the Rhine. The northward leading arm, often referred to on maps with Oosbach runs, east of Sandweier.
