	The Steinenbach flows into the meadow

The Steinenbach is a right tributary of the meadow , whose catchment area includes in particular the municipality of Steinen . The upper course is called Höllbach and the middle course is known locally as Klosterbach . It is only in the last section that the name Steinenbach is used colloquially . The brook is routed in the official digital water management network (AWGN) .

In local parlance, it is assumed that only the lower reaches of the Steinenbach is, which has two source brooks - the Klosterbach and the Weitenauerbach (Schwammerich). Two source streams are also assigned to the Klosterbach - the Höllbach and the Aubächle.

geography

course

The Steinenbach rises as Höllbach at the foot of the Wambacher Wasen and the Schlöttleberg at an altitude of 835 meters. It flows in a southerly direction to Schlächtenhaus , where it takes its way through the wild and romantic Höllschlucht at the town hall in Endenburg (approx. 650 m) and overcomes a height difference of approx. 250 meters to Schlächtenhaus (approx. 394 m). After Schlächtenhaus, the stream flows with a significantly lower gradient than Klosterbach further south towards Steinen, where it passes the former Weitenau monastery about halfway . About a kilometer before Steinen - at the Häfnetbuck - it takes up the most important tributary coming from Weitenau , the Schwammerich (also: Weitenauerbach, Schwemmerich) and now flows as Steinenbach still southwards to Steinen. At the entrance to the village, the stream turns to the southwest. After about 2.5 kilometers it takes its second most important tributary, the Heilisaubach . After about another kilometer, after a total of about 14 km, it flows into the meadow in the Lörrach district of Hauingen (approx. 310 m) from the right and north, after having crossed the federal highway 317 shortly before .

Catchment area

The water catchment area of the Steinenbach covers approx. 46 square kilometers. Almost the entire area of the municipality of Steinen lying to the right of the meadow and almost half of the suburb of Hauingen von Lörrach belong to it .

Flood and protective measures

The floods of the Steinenbach have repeatedly caused considerable damage over the centuries. Reports were made of a severe flood in 1758. The implementation of the measures planned at that time was delayed due to disputes with the municipality of Hägelberg and had to be interrupted in the 1790s due to the turmoil of the war . In 1824, the plans for the correction of the Steinenbach under Vogt Johann Michael Scheffelt were resumed and implemented in the years 1827–1832. However, after a flood in 1845 and again in 1857, improvements had to be made. Further water protection measures planned for 1913 were not started because of the looming war. Another severe flood hit Steinen in the winter of 1919/1920.
