The Beltersroter Bach is a 3 km long, mainly eastward through the municipality of Kupferzell in Hohenlohekreis in northeastern Baden-Wuerttemberg flowing brook of the Keuperrandstufe of the Waldenburg Mountains, which in the hamlet Kupfer of the neighboring municipality Untermünkheim of the district Schwäbisch Hall flows from the left into the upper Kupfer .

geography

origin

The Beltersroter Bach arises a good kilometer west of the Kupferzell hamlet Beltersrot in the so-called Pfaffenklinge on the wooded eastern slope of the Waldenburg Mountains . The brook has three not very long, sometimes dry, headwaters from southwest, west and northwest that unite one after the other. The official river map is the only one showing the left and north-western branch, which is at about 431  m above sea level. NN arises little under a natural steep slope on the slope of Friedrichsberg . The middle branch, like the entire Beltersroter Bach, runs approximately to the east. Its beginning lies at the edge of the forest, only about a hundred meters northeast of the bank of the Rößlesmahdsee , which is embedded in a flat meadow and which itself drains approximately in the opposite direction over the Goldbach to the Bibers . After a maximum of 200-300 meters of run, the steeply cutting source streams of the Beltersroter Bach are united.

course

The Beltersroter Bach flows noticeably flatter through the rest of the hillside forest to the west and occurs near the foot of the valley path of the K 2363 from the Waldenburg hamlet of Goldbach to Beltersrot down to about 390  m above sea level. NN at a small pond into a meadow landscape here determined by meadows. It is crossed by the small road and then runs through the hamlet, the main area of ​​which is to the left of the stream. There it is fed on its left by a meadow stream that only carries water intermittently. Below the village, it moves away from the road that now continues as K 2364 on the right-hand side by up to a quarter of a kilometer and passes through the Breitwiesen district , where fields also border its banks.

South of a newer commercial area on the far side of the road running him on the municipal boundary to Untermünkheim his only significant inflow from the right, also a in a forest sounded the eastern edge of Waldburger mountains springing waters, namely in the ass sword south of the highest mountain Mühlberg ( 522, 8  m above sea level ) of the small low mountain range. While the Beltersroter Bach is a meanderless ditch from its exit to the forest without woody vegetation, the tributary that is even longer, but with less catchment area, remains in the forest for the longest time, or later in a narrow forest spur, flowing past block rubble and small hollows in a natural course with small arches under black alder.

After the tributary, the still bare Beltersroter Bach approaches the road again along a dirt road, which it crosses under the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway line at its passage . On the other side of the railway line, the settlement core of the Untermünkheim hamlet of Kupfer is located on the right side of the river, while its new building area , which has merged with the Neu-Kupfer von Kupferzell residential area, is slightly more distant on the left. The stream flows northeast here and flows less than 400 meters after the railway underpass from the left and at about 355.8  m above sea level. NN from the left into the upper copper , which runs here approximately north-northwest.

The Kupferzeller Bach flows after a 2.9 km long run with a mean slope of about 25 ‰ about 75 meters below the official source; It runs through about half of its entire gradient on the first half kilometer to the foot of the Waldenburg mountains.

Catchment area

The Beltersroter Bach has a catchment area of ​​4.6 km² on the eastern slope of the Waldenburg Mountains , part of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains , and then in the upstream neighboring natural area of Kupferzeller Ebene and Kocheneck of the Hohenloher-Haller Ebene . In the west it includes the Keuper -blades Pfaffenklinge , with the origin of the Beltersroter Bach itself, and Eselsklinge , in which the only significant and longer right tributary arises.

The Beltersroter Bach is the second left tributary of the still young Kupfer after the much shorter Kupfermoorbach ; this entfließt the tight crease on the barrel of the stream from the donkey blade lying copper Moors . In the further course of the southern watershed to the west then borders the catchment area of ​​the Sperbersbach , which flows into the middle Kocher in this village via the Untermünkheimer Dobelbach, far above the Beltersroter Bach receiving water . In the further western ascent of the Scheide to the rear mountain spur of the Mühlberg , the catchment area of ​​the Altenhaubächles is briefly located , which now drains to the beaver , the main body of the Waldenburg Mountains , which reaches the Kocher again noticeably further up .

The up to 522.8  m above sea level. NN high plateau of the Mühlberg is already a bit within the catchment area border, here the Waldenburg mountains are highest.

The border bends to the northeast on the rear Mühlberg and only then runs on its very flat ridge to the northeast to the highest point of the entire Waldenburg mountains at 522.8  m above sea level. NN , before it hard on the east eaves of the Waldenburg mountains northwest into the flat upper valley end of the Beaver tributary Goldbach up to about 455  m above sea level, gnawed by the Pfaffenklinge . NN drops. On this section, on the other side of the dividing line, the Rößlesmahdsee lies just 100 meters away in a flat meadow. After the ascent on the next northeast spur Friedrichsberg of the Waldenburg Mountains with a height of (outside) up to 516.7  m above sea level. NN it now follows its flat ridge for a short time; on the other side of the mountain, the Waldenburger Epbach drains the north-eastern end of the mountain landscape in a wide valley ; This flows further around the foot of the Waldenburger Sporn and then west to the Ohrn , a Kocher tributary below the Kupfer.

The northern watershed starts on the Friedrichsberg and falls here roughly to the east and grazing the northern edge of Beltersrot into the Hohenlohe plain and then reaches the confluence with the Kupfer through the converged new development areas of Neu-Kupfer and Kupfer. To the north of this line, the Flürlesbach drains the further eastern waste of the Waldenburg Mountains, which originates at the former garbage dump between Beltersrot and Lochholz and only flows into the Kupfer near the A 6 . Finally, the catchment area of ​​the only small and flat Butzenrohrbach is squeezed in front of it, which only arises in flatter terrain on the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway line and flows a little north of Neu-Kupfer.

Forest stands on almost 2 km² of the area, especially on the slope of the Waldenburg mountains with especially the priest and donkey blades. The landscape in the lowlands is divided into a lot of meadows, some fields and smaller pieces on which fruit is grown. The settlement areas of the Kupferzell hamlet Beltersrot on the Mittellauf and the Untermünkheim hamlet of Kupfer at the mouth also take up noticeable areas, near this also something that of the Kupferzell residential area Neu-Kupfer and, in particular, a more recent industrial area west of the railway line to these two last adjoining industrial areas.

The larger part of the catchment area belongs to the district of the Kupferzell suburb of Westernach , a narrow strip of land on the shoulder of the slope of the Waldenburg Mountains on the western edge of the area of ​​the small town of Waldenburg , an equally smaller part around the hamlet of Kupfer near and with the confluence with the remaining suburb of Untermünkheim .

geology

The entire catchment area is in the Keuper . The narrow, small plateaus of Mühlberg and Friedrichsberg are covered by layers of silica sandstone ( Hassberge Formation ), below the mountain slopes in the Lower Bunter Mergel ( Steigerwald Formation ) lies the wide saddle between the two spurs, including the valley floor of the Goldbach, the Rößlesmahdsee and the Pfaffenklinge in the reed sandstone ( Stuttgart formation ). This shows on the slope side of the small, steep Steigenstrasse K 2363 from Goldbach to Beltersrot down through the Pfaffenklinge beautiful sandstone outcrops. In a system of small branched marl - blades in this layer, the source runs spring on varying height. Where the valley slopes and terrain flatten out, the gypsum keuper ( Grabfeld formation ) sets in , in which the stream remains almost as far as the railway line past the confluence of its largest tributary, soon in an expanding strip of floodplain sediment. This is where the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt formation ) sets in , in which the Beltersroter Bach runs the last half a kilometer to its mouth.

The small ravine notches of the western Beltersbacher Bach spring branches in the marl clearly illustrate the progress of the Rhenish erosion, which is moving the edge of the Keup step back further and further. The phenomenon can easily be observed from the edge of the meadow around the Rößlesmahdsee to the Klingenwald. While the wide and flat Goldbachtal slopes westwards with only a slight incline in a meadow landscape, the steep, small, east-facing blades, in the upper area of ​​the Pfaffenklinge often with bare slopes, gnaw more and more at this old valley floor. The crumbly, clay-like rock slides from its bare slopes to the bottom of the channel, and is then carried away time after time by the spring streams that do not carry water permanently. In geological terms, it is to be expected that the Beltersroter Bach will tap the nearby Rößlesmahdsee and then drain it eastward towards the Kupfer.

Protected areas

The western, the south-western and part of the north-western Quellbachrinne is located in the 16.2 hectare nature reserve Rößlesmahdsee with Pfaffenklinge , which extends over the watershed into the catchment area of ​​the Goldbach. At this the climbing road borders in the catchment area north Pfaff blade down almost to the outskirts of Beltersrot the conservation area landscape elements in the area Waldenburg with especially the wooded slopes of Friedrich Berg and the next nearest hallway Hill Vineyard in Beltersrot.
