"... The Hengstener Bach is a 2.893 kilometer long brook and a tributary of the Wupper, which has its source in Wuppertal-Spieckern. It flows in the Wuppertal district of Langerfeld-Beyenburg.
The etymological origin of the old place name Hengsten comes from "Henstwerdt" (1547), from which a connection with a stallion can be seen.
The stream rises at around 314 meters above sea level in the hamlet of Spieckern. After around 40 meters, the stream is piped for a distance of around 120 meters from the village in a northerly direction. From here the stream runs along fields.
Along the foot of a wooded hill on the right-hand side, the stream leads past the district of Niedersondern. Around 2050 meters after the source, the Hengstener Bach is directed to the east and runs between Gangolfsberg and Siegelberg. The deeply cut brook valley is wooded.
In the vicinity of a driveway to Hofschaft Hengsten, the brook flows into the Beyenburg reservoir, an impoundment of the Wupper, at around 213 meters above sea level. In the lower reaches of Hengsten, the Elberfeld line of the Bergische Landwehr crosses the stream. ... "
