The Braubach (German pronunciation: [ˈbʁaʊˌbax] ⓘ) is a small river of Hesse, Germany. It is a right tributary of the Liederbach near Kelkheim.[1]
The first part of the name, “Brau”, possibly comes from the Old High German "bri-uwan" or "bruwan". "Brau" means “to brew”. This refers to the movement of a body of water.[2]
The Braubach has its source in the Vordertaunus at an altitude of around 300 m above sea level south of the Königstein district of Schneidhain.[3]
The water quality of the Braubach is classified as moderately polluted (quality class II).[4]
The "Braubachstraße" in Frankfurt am Main reminds of a course of the stream that disappeared.[2]
