Its origin is in the town park of Wurzbach where Langwasser and Oßlabach confluence. It enters the Loquitz in Hockeroda, which is in turn a tributary of the Saale.
It is not possible to clarify to origin of the name. One assumption is the origin in Slavic Sb'rbica bzw. Sb'rbici (what means Sorbian stream).[1]
