course
The source of the Auerbach is located in a forest a little southwest of Wineden . It flows consistently approximately northwards west of Wineden and Buchenbrunn , and east past Markt Rettenbach and Lannenberg , then west again past Eutenhausen and through Mussenhausen (all to the municipality of Markt Rettenbach) to Stetten , which it crosses. Then it runs through the Oberauerbach , which is mostly on the left, and flows into the Westernach from the left between this and the Unterauerbach district, which also belongs to Mindelheim .
The Auerbach spring was the drinking water supply of Wineden until 2012.
