Abstract The hydrological research catchment Schaefertal is located in the catchment area of the Bode River in the Lower Harz Mountains in central Germany. Of the basin with an area of 1.44 km2, 96% is used for agriculture. The outlet of the basin is located at an elevation of 396 m a.s.l. The set-up of the research basin Schaefertal was started in 1965/1966. In 1968 a subsurface barrage based on the bedrock was erected to block the river valley, and the main hydro-meteorological station was put into operation. The aim of the paper is to present recent investigation results with regard to the characteristics of the rainfall-runoff relationship as well as of the development and application of a statistical time series model of the runoff in the Schaeferbach brook. Using the double-mass analysis, the homogeneity of the period 1996-2008 was demonstrated. The newly developed time series model shows a congruence of the simulated values with a Nash-Sutcliffe-coefficient between 0.69 and 0.99.
