The Siebenbach springs from a source in a wooded area between Walberberg and Merten. Shortly before Sechtem opens the Siebenbach in the mill stream which still flows past Sechtem and empties into the Dickopsbach after the industrial park Sechtem.

Name

The Siebenbach was named after the place Sechtem. The town's original name " Sephteme " has changed again and again until he finally today " Sechtem " was. This name is due to the shape of the Roman period settlement name ad Septimam leugam. The place at that time was exactly seven marker from the Roman Cologne.
