The Anbach is a 6.5 km long brook in northern Baden-Württemberg that flows into the Neckar from the right and north-northeast near Gundelsheim in the Heilbronn district .

geography

course

The Anbach runs mostly in the western part of the large Selbach forest north of Gundelsheim. It arises in the area of ​​the municipality of Neckarzimmern , about 1.3 km east of the hamlet of Stockbronn belonging to this municipality next to the Backenackerweg forest path at about 287  m above sea level. NHN . From here it first runs south-west, soon marking the border between Neckarzimmern in the Neckar-Odenwald district and Gundelsheim in the district of Heilbronn, entering the urban area of ​​Gundelsheim and then running more and more south. In his Kerbtal, which is almost 60 m deep and is wooded over the shoulder of the slope, he passes the Böttinger Hof on the hill top right and then the somewhat more distant hamlet of Dornbach to the left.

Then, meanwhile on the southern course, it comes closer and closer to the downstream Neckar, which flows north, the hill to the right in front of its valley becomes a narrow ridge; At the narrowest point, the saddle of the Bear Rest , the ridge is only 280 meters wide with a height of about 80 meters above the river and about 20 meters above the Anbach. The brook then passes a shell limestone quarry on its left, after which its 3.4 km longest tributary, Brunnenbach, flows into it from the left, which drains the east and south-east of the Selbach and is the only named among its tributaries. The ridge on the right rises and widens in front of a loop of the Neckar that stretches to the west to the almost solitary crest of the Michaelsberg .

The forest only ends at the northern edge of Gundelsheim, the valley bends here abruptly to the southeast, here the stream then runs for about 400 meters in a dole under the road on the valley floor, above which the slope of the Michaelsberg is on the right, partly former, partly still cultivated vineyards pulling up. Less than 200 meters before the end of its course, the brook enters the open air again in a brick trough, passes Horneck Castle above the left slope, crosses under the Neckar Valley Railway and Bundesstraße 27 , then flows out at about 139  m above sea level. NHN on the western edge of Gundelsheim itself at the beginning of its western loop around Böttingen from the right into the Neckar .

The Anbach is 6.5 km long and has an average bed gradient of 23 ‰.

Catchment area

The Anbach drains a little over 12 square kilometers, in natural terms it is the southeastern half of the Brunnenwald sub-area of the building land . The highest point on the northwest corner at the Stockbrunn water reservoir reaches almost 347.6  m above sea level. NHN , the mouth is 138.6  m above sea level. NHN . In the catchment area are predominantly the western and central parts of the Selbach forest area , plus an open strip of land around Stockbronn on the upper reaches, almost the entire small land island around the Böttinger Hof and the entire 0.8 km clearing island around Dornbach and on the lower reaches on the middle course part of the Michaelsberg and the northern Gundelsheimer settlement area opposite this.

The watershed stretches from the estuary up to the Michaelskapelle on the Michaelsberg and then further north on the ridge to the Neckar valley past the Böttinger Hof to Stockbronn. On this part of the river Neckar, then the Steinbach, which flows into it under Hornberg Castle, and the Neckar tributary Luttenbach , which flows into Neckarzimmern , which is also a competitor on the northwestern part of the catchment area border. In the far north there is a short indirect drainage area of ​​the Schefflenz , which reaches the Neckar via the Jagst . The area to the east of the watershed that roughly follows the Dallauer Straße through the forest lies in the catchment area of ​​the Tiefenbach stream, which also runs south to the Jagst . Beyond the southeastern watershed, the Lohgraben runs back to the Neckar in Gundelsheim.

Around 80% of the catchment area is in the small town of Gundelsheim in the Heilbronn district , a little over 12% in the northwest and north belong to the Neckarzimmern municipality and a little less than 8% in the northeast to the Billigheim municipality , both in the neighboring Neckar-Odenwald district . The catchment area is mainly populated close to the southern edge, where part of the built-up area from Gundelsheim drains over the Anbach. Otherwise there are only three small towns in it, the Böttinger Hof farmstead, the hamlet of Dornbach - both in Gundelsheim - and the Neckarzimmern hamlet of Stockbronn, all three of them far from the Anbachlauf.

Origin of the annex about 1.3 km east of the Neckarzimmern hamlet Stockbronn next to the Backenacker Weg (forest path) at about 287  m above sea level. NHN . On an older map, the upper course is labeled with Göckelbrunner Bach roughly down to today's quarry .

  • (Inflow from the well ), from the right between Kirchenbauweg (forest path) and Dornbacher Weg at the municipal boundary, 0.5 km and approx. 0.3 km².
  • (Inflow from the edge of the forest near Stockbronn), from the right at the entrance to the annex on the Gundelsheim district, 1.0 km and approx. 0.6 km².
  • (Inflow from the corridor at Böttinger Hof), from the right, 0.5 km and below 0.3 km².
  • (Inflow from the edge of the forest west of Dornbach), from the left to 214  m above sea level. NHN , 0.6 km and approx. 0.2 km².
  • (Inflow from the left on the northern edge of the quarry), 2.5 km and approx. 1.2 km². Arises on the northern edge of the Dornbacher clearing island and flows through it.
  • Brunnenbach , from the left at the southern tip of the quarry, 3.4 km and approx. 3.1 km². Developed near the Waldhaus on Dallauer Strasse in eastern Selbach .

Mouth of the annex on the north-western edge of Gundelsheim between Horneck Castle and the Michaelsberg at 138.6  m above sea level. NHN from the right and finally northeast into the Neckar . The Anbach is 6.5 km long and has a catchment area of ​​12.3 km².

geology

In the quarry on the lower course, Upper Muschelkalk and Unterkeuper are exposed up to the main sandstone. The Anbach and its tributaries run on long sections over rocky ground in a steeply sloping gully.

Protected areas

Part of the northwestern catchment area, the right valley slope on the middle course and finally both valley slopes, with the exception of only one row of houses from Gundelsheim on the valley floor, belong to the Michaelsberg - Böttinger Neckarschleife conservation area . The forest area south of the Dornbacher clearing island across the only large Anbach tributary, Brunnenbach, and the open terrain to the south, including parts of the Gundelsheim settlement area, are located in water protection areas.
