The Diebach is a five kilometer long stream in northeastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows from the left and north in Fichtenberg in the Schwäbisch Hall district into the lower reaches of the Fichtenberger Rot tributary of the Kocher . Its upper course up to the final entry into the Fichtenberg municipal area is called Steinbach .

geography

course

The Diebach traverses the south-eastern foothills of the Mainhardt Forest in an almost constant southerly direction between the Fichtenberger Rot , which flows south-east to the right of it and then eastwards at the mouth, and the middle Kocher, which in turn receives it and runs north, on its left. Its upper course, named Steinbach, rises at the edge of the easternmost farm of the scattered Oberrot hamlet of Stiershof and after less than 200 m it enters the Roter Bühl forest, which belongs to Gaildorf, over a gently sloping meadow . It remains in the closed forest until about 2 km below its origin, where the Weißer Sumpf forest soon replaces the Roten Bühl on the left . On this section, some small side valleys run towards him, mainly from the left, and on a good part of this stretch he is the boundary between the two municipalities mentioned.

At about the end of the forest , it passes over to the municipality of Fichtenberg . From here, meadows and pastures will accompany him beyond a wooded gallery that borders him, and in sections he will also touch the edge of the valley slope forest on one side. Immediately after leaving the forest, the K 2613 coming from the Fichtenberg hamlet of Erlenhof climbs in a serpentine into the valley and then follows it down to the main town; at its first brook bridge at the height of the Buschhof , its noticeably shorter source branch Hirschbach flows towards it from the east , here it has about half its course behind it and its name is now Diebach .

Passing the small Fichtenberg hamlet of Diebach on the left, it strives further south and then flows a little before the start of the closed development of Fichtenberg through the Diebachsee, which is designed for flood protection and also serves swimming . After this, the houses of the village line the stream, which is crossed by the main road on this section. At the embankment of the crossing Waiblingen – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental railway line, it disappears in a dole, then runs under the streets Am Diebach and Tälestraße through the town center and finally flows after a 5.0 km run at the intersection of this with the new route of the L 1066 from left and north into the lower Fichtenberger Rot, which is already flowing eastwards on a large scale .

Catchment area

The Diebach has a catchment area of ​​5.4 km² in size, which extends from its northern tip in the Gewann Schwarze Lache near Oberrot- Stiershof, where the 521.7  m above sea level. NN highest point is in it, 4.3 km far south to the mouth in the south at 343  m above sea level. NN extends into the red. Across it, it measures about 2.2 km at the widest point.

In the northeast is the catchment area of ​​the Mettelsbach running to the Kocher near Gaildorf - Ottendorf , then a little further south that of the local Kammersbach , in the rest of the east and southeast the Michelbach flows into the lowest Fichtenberger Rot . Beyond the watershed on the other side of the stream, the Rot itself competes in the southwest and west, and its Upper Red tributary Stiersbach in the northwest .

A little over half of the catchment area is forested, the remaining open area is dominated by grassland; Arable farming and settlement areas both take up well below 10% of the total area. This is divided into the community of Fichtenberg with about 3.2 km² in the south, the community of Oberrot in the northwest with about 1.3 km² in the northwest and the town of Gaildorf with about 0.8 km² in the northeast.

From Oberrot, the hamlet of Stiershof lies on the watershed to the Stiersbach, the hamlet of Scheuerhalden close to it, the hamlet of Neuhausen near the brook on the right slope, and the Völkleswald farm further away . Gaildorf's share predominantly to the left of the Steinbach upper reaches is completely uninhabited forest. The Fichtenberg district is followed by the hamlet of Erlenhof on the watershed to Michelbach, the Buschhof residential area on the left foot of the slope, the hamlet of Diebach on the right, and after the reservoir, the last Fichtenberg development areas follow before the brook crosses the village center of Fichtenberg itself.

geology

The Steinbach source is located on the southern edge of a Stubensandstein island ( Löwenstein Formation ) in the border area to the Upper Bunten Marln ( Mainhardt Formation ). It passes through the Kieselsandstein ( Hassberge Formation ) and the Untere Bunten Marl ( Steigerwald Formation ) relatively quickly and then enters the sandstone zone ( Stuttgart Formation ) after about a quarter of its course between Neuhausen on the left and the White Swamp on the right Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld Formation ), which it no longer leaves to the mouth.

In the catchment area, the Stubensandstein occupies a very small area in the far north, from it tongues of Upper Bunter Marln run shortly southeast towards the Haftelwald and longer, narrower and more morphologically pronounced southwest on the road route Stiersbach - Oberrot. To the south, there are wide pebble sandstone areas on the heights of the right and left watershed, following the course of the stream down to the edge of the Rottal, where they end in the spurs of Dendelberg (right) and Viehberg (left). The only major tributary, Hirschbach, rises on the edge of this area. The lower colored marl lie as a wide band on the upper slope around the valley basin, well exposed in the blade of the Hirschbach, which tapers from the left . In the narrow valley floor, the floodplain sediments already set in with the gypsum keuper.

Protected areas

The entire catchment area belongs to the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park . Around the lower Steinbach valley section and the upper section of the adjoining Diebach , about 0.9 km² in the valley floor and on the open side heights are part of the Fichtenberger Rot-, Murr- and Fornsbachtal landscape protection area with adjacent mountain ranges .

Below Diebach, at the junction of the forest path to the Dendelberg from the valley road, there is an oak protected as a natural monument. The upper deer blade a little south of Erlenhof in the forest is an extensive natural monument.

Almost all of the natural corridors of Steinbach, Hirschbach and Diebach above the reservoir, some areas of poor grassland and a number of field hedges are protected as biotopes.

At the northern tip of the catchment area, around Stiershof, the Schwarze Lache and the Roten Bühl there are 0.64 km² of water protection areas.
