Historically, to the north of the stream there were narrow valleys of streams - tributaries of the Delligiger-Bach, to the south - a mixed deciduous forest [1] . Due to human activities, the once-homogeneous terrain turned into a mosaic of different landscapes - in the valley there are forests, meadows, swamps and plowed fields [1] . The modern channel of the stream is man-made, laid in 1982-1986 as part of a land restoration program, the first of its kind in the big Dortmund [2] .

Von Delvig Castle was destroyed during the Thirty Years War ; a modern “ castle on the water ” in a park on the banks of the Dellwiger Bach (German: Haus Dellwig ) - built in 1658–1690 [3] .
