The Diebach is a creek a little over four kilometers long in northern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the middle Kocher from the left and south in front of the village of Geislingen am Kocher in the municipality of Braunsbach in the Schwäbisch Hall district . Its right upper course , which is roughly the same size, is called Ölklingenbach , and the gorge-like lower valley is called Ölklinge .

geography

course

The Diebach arises about 1.1 km south of the Schwäbisch Hall village of Eltershofen in the Wüstäckern in the corner between the Haller east bypass in the west and the old route of the B 14 (now L 2218) in the southeast at about 406 m above sea level. NHN . He runs north to the edge of the village and then turns, the greater part of it on the left, on a north-east course. In increasing distance past the village and the moated castle Eltershofen on its northeastern edge, it soon runs in a small valley gully and thus reaches almost 2 km below its source at around 380 m above sea level. NHN at the Ölwiese the ravine-like and forest- lined Ölklinge , in which he is a little over 0.4 km further at about 350 m above sea level. NHN converges with its right upper reaches Ölklingenbach .

This Ölklingenbach arises less than 0.4 km east of the edge of the Haller hamlet Veinau near the northwest tip of the community forest at about 409 m above sea level. NHN . It runs west, at the beginning also next to a dirt road, and passes the larger part of the hamlet on the moderately rising left slope, turns here on a north-west course, crosses under the route of the L 2218 and then reaches the entrance to its right branch of the Ölklinge at about 380 m ü. NHN , in which it flows into the Diebach after about 0.8 km .

The unified Diebach now moves northward in the steep blade, which is still called Ölklinge, and takes in, one after the other, from the right a blade inflow from the edge of the Braunsbach hamlet of Bühlerzimmer , then a furrowed slope inflow, which only arises on the western edge of the northern arable land on the upper slope edge. About 1.6 km below the confluence, the stream emerges from the Waldklinge into the corridor of the Kochertal. Here, after a further 0.3 km, it joins the Kocher from the right and south , about one kilometer southwest of the Braunsbach village of Geislingen am Kocher and at the municipal boundary between Untermünkheim and Braunsbach. A little further downstream, a cycle path crosses the river, which abruptly bends north just before the inflow of the more important Bühler .

Catchment area

The Diebach has a 7.0 km² catchment area, which , in terms of natural space , lies largely south of the Kochertal section between Untermünkheim and Geislingen am Kocher and about 150 meters higher on the adjacent Haller level , a sub-area of the Hohenloher and Haller levels . The other smaller part, the end of the blade and the mouth wedge in the Kocher Valley, on the other hand, belong to the sub-area Middle Kocher Valley and Lower Bühlertal Valley of the Kocher-Jagst Plains .

The watershed rises from the northernmost point at the mouth east-south-east to the spur approach of the Löwenberg and above the blade to the 422 m above sea level. NHN highest point of the Gewanns Heide on the plateau. From here it continues south-south-east to the Bühlerzimmerner water tower ( 427 m above sea level ), on this section the catchment area of the large right-hand Kocher tributary borders the Bühler . Then, from the water tower southwards to the community forest and from there westwards over a range of hills south past Veinau to the junction from the old B 14, now L 2218, to Eltershofen, the Otterbach tributary to the Bühler is the opposite competitor. All of the following stream bar waters drain directly to the Kocher, on a short stretch in the southwest of the catchment area between the junction mentioned and the roundabout on the old main road east of Weckrieden it is the Wettbach which flows into Schwäbisch Hall , followed by smaller and often drying up slope streams on the other side the western watershed to the Bürgäckern west of Eltershofen. The Eltershofer Bach , which flows into Gelbingen, is the only one of importance. In the bourgeoisie the border bends to the east-north-east, only Hohlertsklingenbach and the brook from the ant blade , both of which reach the Kocher near Untermünkheim, are on this remnant piece back to the mouth apart from this constant competitors on the other side.

The Bühlerzimmerner water tower stands on the 427 m above sea level. NHN highest point in the catchment area. Nowhere in the catchment area except in the wooded Ölklingen and in the preceding Diebachmulde below Elterhofen is the terrain on the flat hilly plateau below 390 m above sea level. NHN .

In the catchment area are the village of Eltershofen and the hamlet of Veinau von Schwäbisch Hall and the Braunsbach hamlet of Bühlerzimmer . Eltershofen is mostly in a very flat ascent to the left of the upper Diebach before its entrance to the blade, a few houses are also to the right of the run. Veinau lies on the left slope of the shallow upper Ölklingenbach, only a few buildings to the right of the brook. Bühlerzimmer occupies the uppermost flat hollow of a south-westerly running Diebach tributary, which itself only arises on the western edge of the town.

About one sixth of the catchment area is made up of forest. Apart from the ravine forest in the two-armed Ölklinge, there is only the much smaller forest island in the communal forest in the southeast, which lies above the origin of the Ölklingenbach . Grassland has a similar share of the total area; it mainly covers the valleys above the blade or lies around the soft surface of the three places, especially the larger Eltershofen. The rest of the total area - in addition to the overall quite small settlement areas - is occupied by fields on undulating hills, which therefore determine the landscape.

Origin of the Diebach about one kilometer south of Schwäbisch Hall - Eltershofen in the Wüstäckern at about 406 m above sea level. NHN . The stream initially flows north, turns to the northeast on the outskirts of Eltershofen and enters the Ölklinge from the left northeast of the village .

Ölklingenbach , from the right and southeast soon in the Ölklinge at about 350 m above sea level. NHN , 2.1 km and approx. 2.4 km². Arises east of Schwäbisch Hall- Veinau near the edge of the community forest at about 409 m above sea level. NHN and passes Veinau on its northeastern edge. At this confluence, the Diebach itself has a length of approx. 2.4 km and a catchment area of approx. 2.25 km². It now flows north. The barrel of the Ölklingenbach above is noticeably longer than that of the Thief .

Dornwiesenbach , from the right and east to about 330 m above sea level. NHN in the Ölklinge, 0.9 km and approx. 1.1 km². Arises from the western outskirts of Braunsbach - Bühlerzimmer on the Dornwiesen at approx. 398 m above sea level. NHN at the beginning of its side blade.

(Inconsistent slope inflow), from the right and east to about 290 m above sea level. NHN , approx. 0.4 km and approx. 0.3 km². Arises on the upper edge of the slope on the western edge of the field Taubenegert zum Ölklinge .

Mouth of the Diebach from the right and finally south to about 250.4 m above sea level. NHN about 1.7 km east of the center of Untermünkheim - Enslingen and 1.1 km southwest of Braunsbach- Geislingen am Kocher in its floodplain in the middle Kocher . The stream flows into the municipal boundary, is 4.3 km long and has a 7.0 km² catchment area.

geology

The Diebach arises in the over 2.5 km² layer of loess sediment , which is still on the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ) , which otherwise covers the plateau , mainly on the southern and eastern edge of the catchment area and provides very good arable land. Before Eltershofen the brook changes to the Lettenkeuper, after turning northeast at the edge of the village it reaches the Upper Muschelkalk before entering the wooded Klinge . The Ölklingenbach arises in the Lettenkeuper and only reaches the Upper Muschelkalk at the beginning of its longer Ölklingen branch. The unified brook alternates between the two unnamed right tributaries below the confluence in the middle and a little before the blade exit in the lower Muschelkalk . At the height of this layer it flows into the Kocher in the flood sediment band of the wide floodplain.

Protected areas

The entire oil blade, including the tapering blades, is part of the Kochertal nature reserve between Schwäbisch Hall and Weilersbach with its side valleys .

All of the above-mentioned watercourses and associated bank zones in the Ölklinge and the short, near-natural Diebach section in the Kocheraue below are under biotope protection . A reed area on the water from Bühlerzimmer and its accompanying wood in front of the blade entrance have the same protection status. There are also protected reed areas on the Ölklingenbach near Veinau. To the northwest of Veinau, an unstable body of water ends along a dirt road to this at a sinkhole. The arable landscape has been cleared to a large extent, only on the north and east edge of Eltershofen there are some, close to Bühlerzimmer a few field hedges and on the edge of Veinau a field hedge next to paths for which biotope protection applies.

A pedunculate oak at the Eltershofen cemetery is a natural monument.
