The Aspenbach is a brook in the area of ​​the municipality of Kupferzell in Hohenlohekreis in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the upper Kupfer from the right after a less than 2.5 km long, approximately western run at the Stegmühle below the hamlet of Bauersbach in the municipality .

geography

course

The Aspenbach arises on the western edge of Eschental at about 384  m above sea level. NHN . Below the K 2366 (Haller Straße) two spring arms arise, which merge after about 50 meters. Overall, the stream flows quite steadily to the west, passes three Aussiedlerhöfe and a small wooded area, before reaching about 336  m above sea level after 2.4 km . NHN in Gewann Schlat flows into the copper from the right. With a total gradient of around 52 meters, it has an average bottom gradient of around 22 ‰ and no significant tributaries.

The source and course are completely adapted to agricultural requirements, the course is largely straightened. Before the construction of the K 2366, which touches the western edge of Eschental, part of the water flowed through this place eastwards to the Eschentalerbach .

Catchment area

The Aspenbach drains about 1.7 km² of the sub-area Kupferzeller Ebene and Kocheneck of the Hohenloher and Haller Ebene natural area . The two highest elevations in the catchment area are on two plowed peaks, on the northeast corner of which north of the Eschental sports field at 410.5  m above sea level. NN and at the southeast corner at the water reservoir a little to the south of Eschental even at 422  m above sea level. NN .

Between them, the hydrologically most important watershed in the east borders on the catchment area of ​​the Eschentaler Bach , which drains copper into the Kocher far above the Aspenbach receiving water ; the Eschentaler Bach flows directly on the other side through the Eschental, which is still on a flat saddle with its western edge, the Eschentalbach (!); the older part of the settlement, on the other hand, lies in its sharply deepened, short valley. The south-south-east watershed at the water reservoir runs over the K 2364 and separates it from the catchment area of ​​the Waschbach , which flows into the Kupfer a few hundred meters further south and above and drains the hamlet of Einweiler just a few hundred meters outside . Beyond the northern watershed from the mouth to the second highest point mentioned, the next and parallel copper tributary Goggenbach flows down into the valley from the village of Goggenbach .

The only larger place in the catchment area is - only with its western part - the village of Eschental, next to it there is only one Aussiedlerhof belonging to Goggenbach to the left of the middle course. The smaller upper reaches of the catchment area lies on the Eschental suburb of Kupferzell, the vast majority of the remainder on that of Goggenbach, only a small gusset to the left of the lower reaches on that of Westernach . Most of the area is in the open ground and is mostly under the plow. In terms of forest, there is almost only the 16 hectare forest island Aspen to the left of the lower reaches; where this is directly adjacent to the course, the only natural meanders of the brook can be found.

geology

Like the nearby Waschbach, the Aspenbach rises on the edge of the loess sediment islands of different sizes, deposited in the Quaternary , which occupy the surrounding hills on the Hohenlohe plain. Below is the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ), the only layer of the Unterseuper in the region , which covers the entire rest of the catchment area down to the mouth. The shell limestone , which lies in the subsoil of the flat, hilly Hohenlohe plain and is responsible for the poorly profiled relief, is only exposed outside of the catchment area, closest to the deeper cut valleys of the Eschentalerbach and its receiving water, the Eschentaler Bach in the east.
