The Dürre Enz is a small river in Oberriexingen in Baden-Württemberg . It arises north-east of the village and flows into the lower Enz after three kilometers from the left .

geography

course

The Dürre Enz arises between the Eichwald industrial park in the north and the Reutwald in the south-west between fields in the Lohenstein valley at around 253  m above sea level. NHN . The inconsistent brook on the upper reaches initially moves southwest towards the village of Oberriexingen to the Reutwald on the left and passes a small, 0.5 hectare fish pond on the right bank. At the edge of the closed settlement, a ditch that only carries water periodically runs from the north-west from the wolf stables . The Enz drought, which has already been flowing here permanently, now moves south along Sersheimer Strasse and swings further and further to the left around the foot of the Pfefferberg . On the last east run it crosses under the road to Sachsenheim and flows into the widening left flood plain at the Oberriexingen sewage treatment plant from the left and at about 191  m above sea level. NHN in the lower Enz .

Catchment area

The Kleine Enz has a catchment area of ​​around 5.1 km², which in terms of natural space is counted as part of the Lower Enz Valley sub- area of the Neckar basin . The highest layer in the Triassic catchment area is the Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld Formation ) on the north and especially the north-east edge in the area of ​​the Eichwald industrial park. The brook arises close to its transition to the underlying Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt formation ), in which the brook and its hollow remain up to about the outskirts of Oberriexingen. There the even deeper Upper Muschelkalk sets in , in which the Enz drought flows to the edge of the floodplain sediment band around the Enz. However, in a large part of the catchment area, especially in the west and north, these layers are covered by loess sediment from Quaternary deposits.

The highest point in the catchment area at its western tip has a height of about 303  m above sea level. NHN . The more important Enz tributary Metter competes behind the northern watershed stretching eastward from here . Immediately to the west and east of the catchment area, only arid, small valleys also run south to the Enz.

The majority of the catchment area is in the area of ​​the municipality of Oberriexingen , peripheral parts belong to Vaihingen an der Enz in the northwest , Sersheim in the north and Sachsenheim in the northeast . The village of Oberriexingen is mainly located in this area, there are only other settlements in its north in the form of loose repatriate courtyards and on the north-eastern edge, where the aforementioned Eichwald industrial park protrudes into the area.

Nature and protected areas

Where it still runs on the edge of the Reutwald after the pond mentioned, the stream is pretty close to nature. On the lower slope of the Pfefferberg, dry stone walls and now hedge-covered areas indicate former viticulture in a south-facing location.

Almost the entire area drained by the Dürren Enz is located in water protection areas. In the side hollow of the Wolf Stables of the only reasonably significant tributary, a small landscape protection area named Wolf Stables has been established since 2005 ; the Pfefferberg belongs to the larger one that has existed since 1991 with the name Enztal between the Leinfelder Hof and Bietigheim-Bissingen .
