Brunnenbach is a river of Bavaria, Germany. In earlier centuries, from at least 1412, the Brunnenbach supplied the city of Augsburg with drinking water. It originates in several springs in the Lech meadows south of the city. In the post-glacial period, great groundwater streams pushed the alluvial gravels of the Lechfeld northwards, feeding springs in many places from which streams flowed northwards. These headstreams were traditionally called Gießer by the locals. One stream formed from the waters of several of these springs, whose water was clean enough for supplying the growing city, was called the Brunnenbach ("Spring Stream"). The stream was diverted into the city and fed many public wells and private water systems in Augsburg via a water works and water towers. Today, drinking water is no longer extracted from the Brunnenbach. It flows, as before, through the Augsburg Municipal Forest, but now empties into the Lech Canal in front of the Red Gate (Rotes Tor). This then crosses the quarter Lechviertel and merges with the other Lech canals in the north of the city, before discharging into the Lech.

Augsburg Arena
Augsburg Arena

Augsburg Arena, currently known commercially as the WWK Arena (German pronunciation: [ˌveːveːˈkaː ʔaˌʁeːnaː]; officially stylised as WWK ARENA), is a football stadium in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany. It is used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of FC Augsburg. The stadium has a capacity of 30,660 with 19,060 seats and standing room for 11,034. A second phase of construction could expand capacity to 49,000 in the future. It replaced the club's previous home stadium, Rosenaustadion. FC Augsburg played their first match in the new stadium in 2009 During the time of designing and constructing the stadium, it was called "Augsburg Arena" [ˈaʊksbʊʁk ʔaˌʁeːna]. It was opened as "Impuls Arena" ([ɪmˈpʊls ʔaˌʁeːna], officially stylised as impuls arena), and was renamed "SGL Arena" ([ˌɛsɡeːˈʔɛl ʔaˌʁeːna], officially stylised as SGL arena) after SGL Carbon acquired the naming rights for the structure in May 2011. The contract had a term of seven years and began on 1 July 2011. On 1 July 2015 the stadium naming rights were acquired by WWK, an insurance company, changing the official name of the stadium to "WWK ARENA".Augsburg was one of the official host cities of the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and the subsequent 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. The Impuls arena was the location of several matches during the group stage and the quarterfinals. During the FIFA-competitions it was renamed "FIFA Women's World Cup Stadium Augsburg". The stadium has hosted one Germany national team game and was nicknamed the "Anfield of the B17 highway" following FCA's 2016 Europa League Last 32 First Leg clash with Liverpool. WWK Arena is the first climate-neutral football stadium in the world. The carbon neutrality was achieved by six ecological heat pumps (40 m deep), which produce the desired temperature via heat exchangers. A bio natural gas boiler also supplies the necessary energy during peak load times at a game. In 2017, a new stadium facade will be made for the WWK Arena.
