The Buchenbach is a three kilometer long stream in northern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the "Spiegelberger" Lauter from the left and northeast in the hamlet of Neulautern in the municipality of Wüstenrot .

geography

course

The Buchenbach rises at about 515  m above sea level. NHN a little south of the outskirts of Wüstenrot on the north-western slope of the Steinberg immediately after entering the forest next to the L 2100 to Vorderbüchelberg. At the beginning it flows west through a rapidly deepening forest blade, which almost from the beginning follows the state road L 1090 on the right slope, but soon it changes to a fairly steady south-westerly course. It takes in a few short razor tributaries, mainly from the right of the southern slope of the Raitelberg , then the first of the longer ones, which arises near Wellingtonienplatz. After only a short stretch to the south, the first larger tributary, the Scheiterschlagbach , also flows from the east, which only joins the three Waldklingen brooks near the mouth. On a south-westerly course again, about halfway through the course, the valley floor opens on the right-hand side to form a narrow meadow; here the accompanying road has reached the valley floor.

Another forest stream from the Tirolerklinge runs from the northeast, immediately afterwards the Sumperbach from the west. Two ponds are on the right bank, after them the forest accompanying them on the left extends over a short stretch over the stream. Only about four hundred meters before the mouth does the forest give way from the left bank, after which the stream flows between scattered buildings on the northeastern outskirts of Neulautern. The Buchenbach finally flows opposite the center of Neulautern from the left to about 356.8  m above sea level. NHN in the middle reaches of the Lauter , also called Spiegelberger Lauter .

The Buchenbach flows after its 3.1 km long path with an average bed gradient of about 51 ‰ around 158 meters below its origin.

Catchment area

The Buchenbach has a catchment area of ​​around 2.9 km², which lies in the natural area of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains in the sub-area of ​​the southwestern Löwensteiner Mountains and borders with its north and north-east side on the neighboring sub-area Hinterer Mainhardter Wald . It extends from the northeasternmost point on the southern edge of Wüstenrot at the exit of the K 2400 from the L 1090 with a spindle-shaped contour to the confluence in Neulautern about 2.9 km to the southwest, across it it is up to 1.3 km wide.

The highest mountains, 561  m above sea level, are at the lower limit of the space . NHN high Raitelberg at the northern end of the catchment area and the 565.7  m above sea level. NHN high Steinberg near its easternmost point, both wooded. Behind the catchment area border between the two, the Rößbach near Wüstenrot leads its tributary over the Tiefenbach to Fichtenberger Rot . The left, long southeastern watershed runs through Vorderbüchelberg to the open crest of the plain ( 497.6  m above sea level ), on this section the catchment area of ​​the next larger Lauter tributary, Dentelbach , and then as a southern border in front of smaller tributaries, the Lauter to the mouth. Even beyond the right watershed, initially only a small tributary of the Lauter competes in the west, then for a long time in the northwest over the Heßberg ( 505.6  m above sea level ) to the Raitelberg the next higher Lauter tributary Stangenbach with its left tributaries.

The slightly larger, north-western part of the catchment area belongs to the municipality of Wüstenrot in the Heilbronn district , including almost the entire course of the stream, except for smaller sections on which the other municipality, Spiegelberg in the Rems-Murr district , extends to the left bank and sometimes even a little reaches into the right valley floor. There is forest on more than three quarters of the area, only a strip on the northern edge with the southernmost settlement parts of the village of Wüstenrot around Wellintonienstrasse, the left ridge height around the Spiegelberg hamlet of Vorderbüchelberg with only a few houses on this side as far as the plain and the largest Part of the narrow flood plain from around the middle reaches with only a few houses on the northeast edge of the Wüstenrot village of Neulautern . Apart from these there are no settlements.

geology

The vast majority of the catchment area and almost the entire course is located in the Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ) of the Mittelkeuper . However, the two highest mountains on the northeastern edge of the catchment area, Raitelberg in the north and Steinberg in the northeast, protrude into the Psilonotenton and the Angulate sandstone formations of the Black Jurassic . Their tops are lined with a ring of marl ( Trossingen formation ), interrupted on the western slope of the Steinberg by a section with Quaternary sliding masses. The Buchenbach and its upper tributaries arise near the transition from the marl to the Stubensandstein below. In the valley it only runs after the small forest bar at the end of the middle course in the Upper Bunter Mergeln ( Mainhardt Formation ), which is still under the Stubensandstein , where it also flows.

One fault line trending approximately west-north-west-east-south-east reaches the valley floor approximately at the mouth of the stream from the Tirolerklinge or leaves it, slightly offset to the south, on the axis of the Sumperbach; the deep floe lies at the mouth of the stream.

Two geotopes are identified in the catchment area, an abandoned quarry on the western slope of the Raitelberg, which opens up the Angulate sandstone of the Lower Jurassic, and a slope demolition in the marl, which is notoriously prone to landslides, on the northwest slope of the Steinberg.

Nature and protected areas

The upper blade of the beech creek and the tapering secondary blades are mostly cut steeply and have rocky valley walls in places. The Buchenbach is one to two meters wide in the upper area, has a sandy or stony bottom and meanders in forests that are often rich in hardwood. In the lower half of the valley, which is mostly open on at least one side, it meanders close to nature, mostly in a strip of alluvial forest dominated by ash and black alder , the banks there slope partly steeply to the stream, partly they are flat. There are several wet meadows to the right of the run. None of the tributaries even reaches a catchment area of ​​more than half a square kilometer. The Sumperbach, with about 0.8 km the longest among them, is about half a meter wide.

The open Untertalaue from Sumperbach to almost the mouth is part of the Spiegelberger Lautertal nature reserve with side valleys and adjacent areas .
