Schönebecker Aue 1.37

The Schönebecker Aue is a geest stream in Bremen and Lower Saxony, Germany.Its source is on the Lange Heide plateau near Heilshorn, Osterholz-Scharmbeck.From a height of approx 40m above NAP, the Aue flows through the so-called Bremen Switzerland in the lowland meadows around Schönebeck Castle. Here the stream carved the Auetal (Aue valley), which is a major recreational area for the population of Bremen-Nord. Not far after the Aue reaches Bremen territory, it flows into a pond, which on one side forms a crescent around Schönebeck Castle, and on the other side used to serve as the water source for a now-disused water mill. At the old mill today, there is only a weir, which regulates the water level in the Schlossteich (castle pond).
