The Dürrenbach ( called Mühlen-Dorfbach or Mühlenbach on the longer right of its two upper reaches ) is a 7 km long stream in the area of the city of Rheinfelden in the Baden-Württemberg district of Lörrach , which flows into the Rhine from the right and north in the inner city area .
geography
Headwaters
The two upper reaches of the Dürrenbach and the upper part of its name are in the Dinkelberg , a mountain range that continues the southern Black Forest southwards to the Upper Rhine.
The longer of the two upper courses is the right Mühlen-Dorfbach or Mühlenbach , it rises a little to the west of the Obermineln district of Rheinfelden at about 415 m above sea level. NHN at the Rüschacker corridor . After an easterly run it reaches Oberminseln, traverses it south-east and bends at the beginning of the next district Mittelminsel on Südlauf, which it also continues through Unterminseln.
There it runs after about 2.8 km to a little over 330 m above sea level. NHN with the left upper course, which in the northeast on the edge of the forest Allmatte at about 355 m above sea level. NHN begins its run, which is only about half as long.
course
The Dürrenbach, created at the confluence of the river, like its longer upper course recently, runs roughly southwards. After leaving the Lower Islands, it seeps away when the water is low, sometimes even when the water is normal, and only reappears further south.
In the future, shortly after Unterminseln, the bridge of a section of the federal highway 98 that is still under construction will cross it. About one and a half kilometers after this point it flows from its own valley into the right widening of the valley of the High Rhine , where it also reaches the edge of the settlement of the central Rheinfelden.
In this he crosses, almost to the end on Southern Stream, only the federal highway 34 passes through the eastern part of the city, passes under close to the bank of the river, the railway line Basel -Rheinfelden- Bad Säckingen and then flows towards the same neighboring town of Rheinfelden in the Swiss canton of Aargau in from Northeast approaching High Rhine, in the middle of which the state border runs.
At this point, a few hundred meters south-east of the city center of Rheinfelden, the Upper Rhine flows over a rocky river bed at the so-called Höllhooge. Only about 200 meters downstream of the confluence of the Dürrenbach, the Magdenerbach, coming from the south, flows from Rheinfelden in Aargau into the Upper Rhine.
Catchment area
The catchment area is 15.8 km² and, in terms of natural space , lies with the northern and central part in the Dinkelberg , with the southern near the mouth in the High Rhine Valley , both of which are sub-areas of the High Rhine region . The highest point on the north-east corner on the Hohen Flum , the largest elevation of the Dinkelberg, reaches 536.2 m above sea level. NHN . Beyond the eastern watershed from there to the Dürrenbach estuary, the Bechtelsgraben initially drains , then and less far above the Dürrenbach estuary , significantly shorter streams drain the eastern Dinkelberg to the Upper Rhine.
Behind the western watershed, the Linsenbach flows towards the river near the mouth in the right widening of the High Rhine Valley around Rheinfelden , but on the longer part of the divide in the mountainous region, the Warmbach, which flows further down into the High Rhine, competes on this side . The opposite side of the northern Dürrenbach catchment area border donates its runoff to the large river Wiese in the southern Black Forest.
Black way
From the crossing of the B 34 to the Rheinfeld industrial area in front of the Höllhooge, the Dürrenbach is accompanied by the “Schwarze Weg” (named because of the use of industrial slag as a substructure) and a chestnut avenue. This kilometer-long avenue, which mostly runs straight from Minseln to the industrial area, was laid out in the 1920s by members of the local branch of the Black Forest Association in order to make the daily walk to and from the workplace more comfortable for industrial workers. The stream bed of the Dürrenbach was fortified along the Kastanienallee with large and carefully hewn stones.
