The Aal , also called Aalbach , is a small river in the town of Aalen in Baden-Württemberg in Germany . It arises in the Dürrwiesen near the road bridge of the K 3326 at the west end of Gartenstraße through the confluence of the left Rombach and the right Sauerbach , which slightly exceeds the Rombach in length and sub-catchment area. From here, the eel flows in an easterly and later in a north-easterly direction and, after a 1.6 km run, flows into the Kocher on the left at Reichstädter Markt .

For the Romans , it was the Aal who decided to build the Aalen Fort a little north of it , their largest cavalry fort north of the Alps. They took up to 30,000 liters of water from the river every day for their 1,000 horses.

The eel was renatured at the confluence of the two upper reaches of the Rombach and Sauerbach rivers for around 5 million euros, and on September 10, 2010 the newly constructed flood retention basin Dürrwiesen was inaugurated there.
