Egg the sturgeon has no "correct" source.

It is more of a sturgeon headwaters. 😉

The Stör is a right tributary of the Elbe in Schleswig-Holstein, influenced by the tides. In terms of the type of flowing water, it is marshland.

The Stör rises about 15 km southeast of Neumünster near Willingrade in the Segeberg district. Shortly after its headwaters, it is dammed up for the paper mill, which is now a listed building.

Then it crosses the outskirts of Neumünster, the southern district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde and the district of Steinburg and flows into the Elbe about 4 km northwest of Glückstadt. In the community of Heiligenstedten it reaches the marshland; already from Itzehoe its course begins to meander. The river has a length of about 87 km and an average water flow of 21.7 m³ / s at the confluence with the Lower Elbe.

From Itzehoe (river kilometer 53) to the mouth, the Stör can be used by professional shipping, although it is becoming less important. Sport shipping, on the other hand, still uses the Stör above Itzehoe. The Stör barrage, built two kilometers above the estuary in 1975, protects the lowlands along the Stör from the effects of storm surges. The structure has two shipping openings, each 22 m wide, with mitred gate locks.

Ebb and flow affect the water level of the sturgeon for more than half of its length from its mouth to above Kellinghusen (river kilometer 32); it is the only tributary of the Lower Elbe in which the tidal movement swings freely and the tidal limit is not defined by a transverse structure. The mean tidal range at the Stör barrage is about 2.75 meters. The tidal area from Kellinghusen to the source has a catchment area of 1,160 km². The entire catchment area covers 1,781 km².

Without the sign marking, one would not notice that this is the headwaters
