Emsbach, Brook in Hochtaunuskreis, Germany
The Emsbach extends for 40 kilometers through the northern Taunus region, beginning at 632 meters elevation near Kleiner Feldberg and ending at 110 meters.
First documented references to the Emsbach appear in records from 795 and 805, where it was named Hemisa and Emisa in Germanic texts.
The water system connects multiple communities across three districts: Hochtaunuskreis, Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis, and Landkreis Limburg-Weilburg, supporting local agricultural practices.
Several tributaries join the Emsbach along its path, including the Reichenbach from the north between Wüstems and Niederems, and the Schlabach near Esch.
The brook maintains a consistent gradient of 13 per thousand throughout its course, creating a natural corridor through the Taunus mountain range.
