length about 2.2 km

The Blankenloch Dorfbach was a flowing body of water in Blankenloch , today a district of Stutensee in the Baden-Württemberg district of Karlsruhe .

course

The Dorfbach was diverted from the Pfinz via an inlet sluice in the Gewann Hintere Wiesen southeast of Blankenloch and immediately below the boundary to Durlach , which ran up here, lined with dams. After around 700 meters, it crossed the Alte Bach ( ⊙ ), a drainage ditch that runs along the outskirts of Blankenloch and roughly marks the border between the natural areas of Alb-Pfinz-Saalbach-Niederung and Karlsruher Haardt on a concrete channel open at the top .

At today's Tolnaplatz the Dorfbach bends to the right and north ( ⊙ ) and followed the main street of the street-village-like Blankenloch for a good kilometer. In the street, the trapezoidal channel was about 80 centimeters wide and about 40 centimeters deep; The brook was bridged with cast iron plates at property driveways. At the height of today's Wiesenstrasse ( ⊙ ) was a horse pond , which was removed in 1912 for hygienic reasons. At today's Lindenplatz ( ⊙ ) the Dorfbach left the main street and after a few meters merged into the Alte Bach from the left.

Before the Pfinz-Saalbach correction (1934–1962), the Alte Bach ran parallel to the Pfinz to the north for a long time, then crossed the Hardtwald and merged into the Scheidgraben at the edge of what is now the Oberbruchwiesen nature reserve , which flows into the Pfinz south of Rußheim from the left .

history

The Blankenloch village brook was first mentioned in 1783 in a stock register as a village brook . In 1862 the stream was extensively repaired. From 1891 the Karlsruhe local railway, usually known colloquially as the Lobberle , ran parallel to the brook through the main street.

In 1962 and 1963 the Dorfbach was removed when the local sewer system was built. Before it was the only sewer in the village, into which rainwater from roofs and courtyards, but also sewage from kitchens, feed kitchens and laundry rooms was discharged. Building permits were issued with the condition that a channel to the Dorfbach had to be created for the sewage. Feces were collected in pits and spread in the fields.

Children and drunks in particular often fell into the village stream; two older men drowned. There was a saying that only someone who fell into the Dorfbach is a “real” Blankenlocher.

The Pfinz-Saalbach correction changed the water network at Blankenloch considerably: The branch of the Heglach from the Pfinz was relocated to the south, so that the section of the river at Blankenloch is now part of the Heglach. The Alte Bach is now divided into two parts; in Blankenloch it was moved to the east.

In the 1990s, one of the designs for the light rail line to Stutensee provided for a grass track in the main street ; a small stream should run between the rails. This could not be realized for technical reasons. Today an information board at the Blankenloch Church tram stop reminds of the Dorfbach.
