Murr (river)
The Murr (German: [mʊʁ] ⓘ) is a river in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is a right tributary of the Neckar. The river gave its name to a small town on its banks, Murr, and to the Rems-Murr-Kreis district, which was also named after the river Rems, which runs roughly parallel to the south of the Murr.
Its source is approx. 4 km south of Murrhardt. It flows northeast before turning west to cross Murrhardt. After a further 7 km, Sulzbach an der Murr is reached. Here, at its northernmost point, the Lauter joins from the north, coming from Spiegelberg. The Murr continues southwest, passing Oppenweiler to reach Backnang, where its narrow valley widens. Further towns on its way are Burgstall an der Murr, Kirchberg an der Murr, Steinheim an der Murr, and the community of Murr itself, which is located in the district of Ludwigsburg.
North of Marbach am Neckar, the Murr joins the Neckar after having travelled about 50 km in total.
The Murr runs south of the Löwenstein Hills. A large part of the river is situated in the Swabian-Franconian Forest, after which the eponymous nature park was named.
The name Murr is of Celtic origin, means something like "musty river" and comes from the muddy water of the river. An early mention of the name Murr is in the Roman settlement vicus murrensis, which was a camp village situated near Benningen am Neckar or near Murrhardt.
The medieval Franconian Murrgau as well as the present Rems-Murr-Kreis are named after the river. Beside it Murr appears in the designations of some places at the run, approximately in shape of the rear name addition "at the Murr".
The source area of the Murr is located 3 km south of the city Murrhardt on the heights of the Murrhardter forest. At the southern outskirts of the hamlet Vorderwestermurr, a sign shows a spring box as "Murrursprung". Because of its strong and reliable discharge of two liters per second even in dry periods, it is regarded as main-source of the Murr, even if several small brooks near Vorderwestermurr and Fautspach lie higher and further from the confluence.
In the uppermost run, the Murr moves to the northeast. From its source, which still lies in the Lion's Arch formation, it digs its way through the underlying layers of the Keupers a deep forest klinge, in which the Vorderwestermurrer Mühle is the only settlement in which, after several small waterfalls, they quickly descended the geological strata to the Untere Bunte Mergeln. Further down in its steep valley, it enters the field in a valley spider at the Klettenhöfle. It passes the almost equally small settlements of Klingen and Hammerschmiede, where it reaches the Gipskeuper Formation and shortly after the Lower Keuper.
