The Burraubach is a main stream almost 6 km long in the Sigmaringen district in southern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the middle Kehlbach from the left and west near the hamlet of Litzelbach in the small town of Pfullendorf . Its valley basin is called the Burrautal .

geography

course

The Burraubach stream shortly after emerging from its wooded headwaters "Riedle" west of Wald (looking upstream).

The Burraubach rises about one kilometer west of the village center of Wald at about 657  m above sea level. NHN in the south-east of Langenmoos , a former moor that is now part of the Riedle forest. The body of water initially flows to the southeast and turns from the edge of the forest, where it takes up some ditches, some of which are longer than its length, in a slow curve to the left to the east-north-east, in which it then moves quite steadily to its mouth. Still on the Ostlauf Burraubach takes from the south just before the village forest to here with more than one kilometer almost twice as long pond digging in, in the village it flows through the hectare Klosterweiher on the south side of the monastery forest .

After the lower village boundary and the sewage treatment plant, the almost one and a half kilometer long Haghofgraben flows from the left. After that, the depression around the run already has a noticeable trough shape, steep embankments accompany the run from the office mill, which is about 1.5 km below the edge of the village on the left bank, to behind the small settlement. From here, almost to the mouth, the edge of the large forest island of the northern forest is nowhere more than 300 meters north of the course. The Mühlgraben , which reaches the Burraubach from the north-west of the Burraumühle buildings, now overflows in the area of ​​the property.

Down the stream, the embankments soon become flatter again, but a short and wide sloping side valley basin with no significant stream flows from the forest village of Reischach, about half a kilometer away, to the right. After that, the valley house ditch , which is over one and a half kilometers long and runs through the Wiesenaue Gurgel on its lower reaches, flows from the forest to the left . On the following one and a half kilometers of the lower reaches of the Burraubach, the accompanying floodplain widens sharply until the brook changes into the very wide basin of the middle Kehlbach, in which the Burraubach then half a kilometer northeast of the Pfullendorf hamlet of Litzelbach from left and west to around 612  m above sea level NHN flows into the Kehlbach .

Below the wooded Langenmoos at the short southeastern start of the course, the Burraubach is mostly a ditch completely free of trees and bank bushes, with a straight or only gently curved course, the course of which is then finally drawn in a pointed diaper to the confluence with the Kehlbach flowing northwards here.

Catchment area

Valley of the Burraubach from Reischach to the Burraumühle

The Burraubach drains about 9.9 km² eastwards to the middle Kehlbach , which then feeds the Danube via Andelsbach and Ablach . Its catchment area has roughly the contour of an east-northeast tapering candle and extends about 5.5 km from the western forest over the sources of Burraubach and Weiherbach to the mouth; across it it reaches a maximum width of less than 2.5 km. The entire area naturally belongs to the Andelsbachplatten sub- area of the Donau-Ablach-Platten .

The west-south-western watershed in the western forest above the sources of the upper reaches Weihergraben in the south-west corner and Burraubach even in the north-east corner of the drainage area of ​​the Burraubach delimits the catchment area of ​​the Auenbach running to the upper Ablach , on it is over 675  m above sea level. NHN once reached the greatest height in the catchment area (southwest of Wald).

At the north-north-western threshold in front of the catchment area of ​​the Ringgenbach flowing towards the middle Ablach , the main upper course of which , the Rohrenbach, drains the Langenmoos northwards, the terrain is elsewhere mostly above 660  m above sea level. Above sea level and on this section again reaches over 675  m above sea level. NHN (won Falkenhau in the northern forest forest ). The watershed against the downward left Kehlbach tributary Riedlebach in the north remains almost at last (at the Pfullendorfer Hilarihof) over 650  m above sea level. NHN .

From the mouth to 612  m above sea level. NHN in the Kehlbach rises the south-southeastern watershed against its left upward tributary Bethlehemer Graben in its eastern half to a little over 670  m above sea level. NHN (near Reischach ). After that, it remains with little height fluctuation in the western half back to the south-western tip in front of the competing upper Kehlbach on the other side, all over 660  m above sea level. NHN .

Less than 30% of the total area is forested, there is a large proportion of the large forest island of the northern forest on the northern edge, a strip of the western forest forest in the west and much smaller forest island snippets in the south.

Apart from the settlement areas mentioned in the description of the course, there are only a few individual farms in the catchment area.

Protected areas

The stream rises in the Riedle forest protection area that extends across the border into the catchment area of ​​the Ringgenbach . The lowest course and the mouth are in a Pfullendorf water protection area. A gusset on the northern edge lies in the area of ​​Meßkirch in the Upper Danube Nature Park .

history

Around one kilometer below its origin, the Burraubach was dammed up as a monastery pond centuries ago , the artificial pond served the Wald monastery as a fish pond and still exists today.

To the north of the Burraumühle, about 300 meters away on the Burrauberg, in the hilly forest of the northern forest, which begins immediately behind the property, is the Burgstall of the former Burrach Castle . It is the headquarters of the Lords of Reischach . The Burraubach was probably named in reference to this castle, which was lost in 1241 at the latest. The forest hamlet on the creek, called Burraumühle , next to which the Burrau house stands on the directly adjacent Reischach submarket, should stand in the place of Burrau , which is mentioned as a property in the records of the Wald monastery .
