"The Siede rises near Reihausen in the Engeln district of the Bruchhausen-Vilsen community, very close to the Hache spring. It then flows in a southerly direction through the Siedenburg community and its core town, Siedenburg, for which it is named. It then leaves the Diepholz district and flows into the Große Aue in the district of Nienburg.
Tributaries of the Siede are the Kuhlenkamper Beeke (= upper and middle reaches of the Päpser Bach), the Speckenbach and the Eschbach. "
