The Aubach is the largest tributary of the Aar in the Lahn catchment area in Hesse , which drains its eastern catchment area. It is a 15 km long right and southeast tributary of the Aar.

Surname

The name Aubach probably comes from modern times and is derived from the widespread use of the sometimes relatively broad floodplain of the brook as permanent grassland . The historical name of the Aubach is Strinzbach or Strinzepha. Its middle and lower reaches are also known as Scheidertal , which, according to the assumptions of historians and geographers, is due to the centuries-old border location between the Niedergrafschaft Katzenelnbogen (later Landgraviate Hesse ) and the House of Nassau-Idstein . There used to be several mills in the Aubach Valley, including a. the Obermühle near Hennethal , which still exists today and has a restaurant and hotel.

geomorphology

On the upper reaches and in the lower reaches the valley shape corresponds to a kerbsohlental, in the middle reaches locally also a kerbtal. According to recent investigations, the valley may have deepened again significantly during the Glacial Vistula . In addition, numerous Holocene runs are formed, especially on the slopes of the middle reaches , which are the result of earlier use-related deforestation.
