Bracht is a river of Hesse, Germany. It flows into the Kinzig in Wächtersbach. In large sections, it formed the border between the former Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt, on the right bank, and the Kingdom of Prussia on the left bank. Even after the WWII, this administrative segregation continued in different districts.
