Trudlerbaach

The Trudlerbaach flowing in Syren in August 2021

The Trudlerbaach starts somewhere around Contern within the Shaltgen. It flows south very slowly, at first following a dirt path through farmland, through the Shaltgen and past Beriton Grounding, as it continues before meeting rue de pres and going parallel to it until Faerschthaff. At the moment it joins rue de pres, there's a small seating area, and below it underground, a water outflow pipe. Upon reaching Faerschthaff it crosses the small walkway under the only real bridge over the river before moving into Poteschbesch and crossing into Weiler-la-tour. It follows another path through the Poteschbesch before passing by a hill named Moschelt and then it flows past Trudlermillen. Then finally it passes through residential areas in Syren before travelling through a man made hole in Rue D'Altzingen before meeting the Syre.[1][2]

The source of the Trudlerbaach is somewhere in the Shaltgen, just North-West of Contern. There's a small pond just south of a small rural road which could've been the source however it's evident water flows from higher up. The source is elevated at around 305 metres (1,001 ft) as opposed the Syre which it joins to having an elevation of 283 metres (928 ft). In addition the Syre flows 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) from its source to where it meets with the Trudlerbaach while the Trudlerbaach itself flows 2.6 km (1.6 mi) so it is believed by some that the source of the Trudlerbaach is in fact the source of the Syre.[6]

The Construction development adjacent to the Trudlerbaach

In Early 2022 developments began approximately halfway between the existing housing in Contern and Faerschthaff. These developments are located around where the Trudlerbaach stops moving parallel to the road which links Contern and Faerschthaff and begins running north towards the Shaltgen and Beriton Grounding. Some of these new builds may submerge much of the stream as this is directly adjacent to a bridge like structure where a pipeline flows into the brook which covers it. Additionally part of the construction site already covers much of the water to the north of the bridge.
