The Brettach is an almost 29 km long, east-northeast and orographically right tributary of the Jagst just before the hamlet of Elpershofen in the town of Gerabronn in the Baden-Württemberg district of Schwäbisch Hall .

geography

Official source and upper tributaries

The Brettach rises on the Hohenlohe plain in the Schwäbisch Hall district near Brettheim , a north-eastern part of Rot am See . Her official source wells located approximately 200 meters north of the village on the L  1040 towards Rothenburg, on the left side of a very shallow valley. A carved stone tablet on the trough from 1796 describes it as the origin of the Brettach and praises it as a health well; In more recent times a sign saying “No drinking water” has been added to the board. Only a little water runs there from a thin well tube, it sinks straight back into a narrow sink hole and flows from there in an underground pipe to the larger stream in the middle of the valley, which locals also call Brettach there, but the official waterway map Sperbersbach . This visibly larger flowing water arises from the confluence of the Seegraben coming from the north with a length of about 3 km and the slightly shorter Sperbersbach , the direction of which the combined brook continues past the official source, about 500 m further west-northwest .

Another tributary runs through the local area of ​​Brettheim; Separated from the Sperbersbachttal by a low threshold, the Sobach runs parallel to it for a total of almost 1 km and ends in a dammed still water on the western edge of the village. After a visible course of the further valley basin, this Sobach previously flowed in an east-south-east, later south-easterly direction, south of the church hill and then past the location of today's sewage treatment plant, south-east of the village of Brettach. A pipe still drains today's reservoir into this; However, due to frequent periodic flooding in the lower village, a larger pipe, which is only reached when the water level in the pond is high, has been laid through the 4 m high threshold to the Sperbersbach for the then harmless drainage of larger tributaries.

Further course

Already from Brettheim to shortly after Rohrturm the bed of the Brettach has been straightened, the slope of the embankment has been standardized towards the stream and only rarely allows wood on its banks. It first bends in a right-hand bend around Brettheim and from then on runs roughly in a west-southwest direction. It flows through the Hilgartshausen district, just under 2 km downstream from the Rohrturm farm in a narrow strip of forest with a moat that has been preserved to this day, the former Rothenburger Landhege meets its north bank. Soon thereafter, the Brettach separates nearby Brettenfeld in the north from the town hall of Rot am See in the south, crossing under the Crailsheim – Königshofen railway line and the B 290 and then starting its meandering valley in the shell limestone . In this valley it reaches Kleinbrettheim, where it takes in the Blaubach coming from the north; In the eastern triangle of the mouth, the ruins of Bebenburg stand on a mountain spur .

After that, the Brettach first touches the area of ​​the municipality Gerabronn on the right-hand side, the main town of which is on the right plateau. The border between Gerabronn and Rot am See runs from here to almost Bügenstegen, always not far from the Brettach, but sometimes with lateral fluctuations up to the valley heights. The valley is now deepened more than 30 m against the surrounding heights, and from here on both sides of the valley slopes are almost entirely wooded. On the right, northern side, the forest continues over the shoulder of the slope to the first larger forest on the course of the Brettach, the forest won Hochholz, in which there is a game reserve .

It flows through a small reservoir just before Amlishagen with Amlishagen Castle , both located on the right above the valley, and passes two valley mills belonging to it at the foot of this village. It then turns south for about 4 kilometers of the river, passes through the Beimbach flood retention basin northwest of Beimbach, again passes two valley mills and bends to the west again.

It again reaches a larger forest area, which this time extends south to the left plateau, and here flows in an arc around a north-facing mountain spur on which, a little east of the Gerabronn-Bügenstegen valley hamlet, behind a ring wall to the plateau, stands the Werdeck castle ruins .

If the Brettach ran on its Muschelkalk section from Kleinbrettheim to here mostly in a notched valley that was too steep and narrow for agricultural use, apart from a few meadows, it now becomes the wider Muldental; the slopes are in places free of forests almost up to the shoulder of the slope, old strips of field on hedged terraces follow the course of the river for 2 kilometers to the Gerabronner hamlet of Liebesdorf. Here it turns again and for its last river kilometer to the south, the valley narrows again. After the municipality of Gerabronns reached far from Bügenstegen to the heights to the left of the valley, the rest of the Ilshofen course is a short left-hand side of the river.

The Brettach, which is already over 100 m lower than the surrounding heights, flows a little east of Gerabronn-Elpershofen from the north into the here opposite Jagst . This bends at the inflow at a right angle to the west again in its greater direction towards the Neckar .

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Brettach is about 181 km² if you include the catchment area of ​​the Weidenbach , whose water almost always disappears by sinking near Wallhausen and then verifiably reaches other catchment areas - even that of the Bühler flowing across the Jagst to the Kocher  - and only in rare cases Floods at least partially into the Brettach. The following neighboring rivers and streams compete in turn:

  • in the north rather short the Vorbach ;
  • in the north-east and east long the upper Tauber , which later took it up ;
  • in the southeast the Wörnitz , closer mostly especially its tributary Ampfrach ;
  • in the south the Jagst before the inflow of the Brettach, with its partial catchment area down from the Gronach ;
  • In the west, too, the immediate competitors are draining from the right to the Jagst down the Brettach estuary to the largest of them, the Ette in the northwest.

Since the Wörnitz flows into the Danube, the southeastern part of the watershed is part of the European main watershed between the North Sea tributaries on this side and those of the Black Sea on the other. The northern and the rest of the eastern watershed, which is rather inconspicuous in nature, is hydrologically very significant, as the Tauber flows to the great Rhine tributary Main , while the Jagstwasser reaches the Rhine via the Neckar .

The 554  m above sea level NHN's highest point of the catchment area lies in the southeast on the watershed to Wörnitz on the summit plateau of the Hornberg , the highest point of the Franconian height . This natural area has only a very small part of the catchment area in the southeast, the largest part, on the other hand, belongs to the Hohenloher and Haller Plains , in the southwest near the mouth of the river another small part belongs to the Kocher-Jagst plains . Most of the portion of the Hohenloher and Haller level belongs to the sub-area of ​​the Blaufelden-Gerabronner level . The Weidenbach catchment area essentially comprises the small sub-area Michelbacher Bucht , to the left, at a distance from the Brettach-Lauf, in the east lies a part of the sub-area Rothberg-Ramholz-Ridge .

The official source well of the Brettach stands at about 433  m above sea level. NHN less than 200 m north of the outskirts of Rot am See - Brettheim an der Landesstraße L 1040 to Rot am See- Hausen am Bach .

Worth seeing

Sights on the Brettach are, viewed downstream:

  • From the Rothenburger Landhege (former Landwehr) a well-preserved piece runs in a narrow strip of forest between Hilgartshausen and Musdorf from the north to the Brettach; other well-preserved sections can be found in the wider area. At the courtyard next to the road to Musdorf, which is named after this, the rest of the so-called pipe tower, a land tower of the Rothenburger Landhege, stands in its southwestern tip. Only its unspectacular tower stump, roofed over to the barn, has been preserved.
  • the ruins of Bebenburg , east of the mouth of the Blaubach near Kleinbrettheim,
  • the Amlishagen Castle in Amlishagen on the northern shoulder of the mountain Brettachtals,
  • the former fortified church in Beimbach,
  • the Werdeck castle ruins , on a mountain spur east of Gerabronn-Bügenstegen and
  • some sinkholes in the shell limestone that lie near the shoulder of the Brettach valley.
