The Black Kocher is the left, longer source river of the Kocher. It rises south of Oberkochen from the Kocher source. At Unterkochen it joins the White Kocher to form the Kocher.
As the source river flows quietly away from its source, the observer has the impression that it is black. This has led to the name Black Kocher. Another explanation is that slag residues from the former slag washing plant near the Kocher source gave the Black Kocher its name.
