The Ellenberger Rot is a 9.6 km long stream in the Ostalbkreis in northern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the Röhlinger Sechta from the right and north just before the village of Röhlingen in the town of Ellwangen .

geography

course

The Ellenberger Rot arises about 1.5 km west of the center of the village of Ellenberg , which is located on a small plateau, in a valley basin that is wooded in its western and central parts. Its northwest and north side is from the ridge of the Ellenberg over, up to 580  m above sea level. NHN high Hornberg , while in the east it borders the barely lower plateau, which is largely occupied by the settlement area of ​​Ellenberg. The source at about 520  m above sea level. NHN is located a few steps east of the federal motorway 7 near the southern portal of the Virngrund tunnel , through which it enters the valley basin from the low northern foreland of the Hornberg.

The Rot initially flows in the forest for almost half a kilometer southeast and then swings from the northeast at the inlet of a secondary valley basin, which drains the mostly open slopes in the eastern part of the valley, to a somewhat longer south-south-west course in the forest, during which it takes in some slope spring runoff and finally the Bach from the Hornbrunnen . This, about a third shorter right upper course of the Ellenberger Rot, rises west of the motorway and higher than it itself at 545  m above sea level. NHN . From this inflow, the Rot first flows south at the beginning of a long curve to the left, on which it runs through the elongated Muckental nature reserve, less than 0.5 km east of the initially parallel motorway, and in it the first two of the four reservoirs on their way, the Neuweiher and the 5 hectare Muckenweiher . After this it runs in the now open floodplain southeast through the Ellenberg hamlet of Muckental with its loosened up houses and crosses the state road L 2220, which connects Ellenberg with Ellwangen . Immediately afterwards it flows into the almost 16 hectare long Haselbachsee , through which the border to the town of Ellwangen runs in the same direction. At the outflow at Ellenberger Hof Haselbach, it is reinforced by the Häslesbach coming from the northeast , the second largest brook in the brook system that has just passed through the Häsle reservoir . The red is now turning south into the area of ​​the city of Ellwangen.

Soon the district road K 3216 Rattstadt – Halheim crosses the water, which then runs through the last, over 12 ha large Rötlen reservoir from the Hammermühle . After it, the stream crosses the hamlet of Rötlen and swings around a small hill spur with the former Rötlen castle to the southeast. The road from Rötlen to Röhlingen crosses the water, and last but not least the state road L 1076 from Röhlingen to Pfahlheim . Then the Ellenberger Rot joins at 460.2  m above sea level. NHN a little before Röhlingen from the right into the Röhlinger Sechta, which is somewhat shorter up to this point and only slightly richer in catchment area .

The Ellenberger Rot ends its 9.6 km long path about 60 meters below its source, its mean bottom slope is therefore about 6 ‰.

Catchment area

The Ellenberger Red drains a 25.0 km² large area, the natural geographic part of the subspace seen Pfahlheim-Rattstädter Liasplatten the foothills of the eastern Swabian Alb is. The highest point in it is up to 580  m above sea level. NHN towering Hornberg on the northern edge.

Geologically, the area is dominated by the Black Jurassic and the layers of the Upper and Middle Keupers below . The narrow plateau arch of the Hornberg in the north and the wider adjacent plateau of Ellenberg lie in the Black Jura, whose stratification, visible from the Keup foreland in the north, is the northern slope of the Hornberg just outside the catchment area. However, the Ellenberger Rot and its tributaries also arise in the south of the Black Jura plateau arc in the Keuper, the Rot itself probably in the Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ) of the Mittelkeuper, because they initially cleared the Black Jura south of the Hornberg. However, the Rot on the lower reaches down from Rötlen again reaches the now contiguous Black Jura, because its stratum boundary to the Keuper falls with a greater gradient to the south-south-east than the Rot-Lauf in accordance with the natural stratification in the south-west German stratified level land. Loess sediment from Quaternary deposits lies in three islands on the right slope of the valley between Haselbachsee and the mouth in the lee of the westerly winds. The Rot already flow into floodplain sediment strips from the Neuweiher and also the lower reaches of its largest tributary, the Häslesbach.

In turn, the catchment areas of the following neighboring waters border the Ellenberger Rot:

  • From the highest point of the Hornberg to the eastern tip of the catchment area near Stödtlen - Birkenzell beyond the north-northeastern watershed, the Gerbach , Konradsbronner Bach and Meizenbach collect the runoff one after the other at the foot of the strata and lead it over the Rotach and Wörnitz to the Danube . This section of the catchment area boundary is therefore part of the hydrologically important European main watershed between the North Sea on this side and the Black Sea on the other.
  • From Birkenzell to the mouth, on the southeast side of the area, behind the sheath that runs close to the Schimmelbach – Stahlbrunnenbach – Häslesbach – Ellenberger Rot ridge, is a terrain that slopes slowly to its right upper reaches, the Sonnenbach, and then further down to the Röhlinger Sechta itself.
  • From the confluence on the right side of the Rot up to the water tower north of Ellwangen - Eigenzell , the west-southwest sheath is not very prominent, behind it the next large tributary Schlierbach of the Röhlinger Sechta flows approximately southwards.
  • It follows only a short stretch of western watershed to the Kressbach , a Jagst tributary already noticeably below the Sechta.
  • The northeast arch of the catchment area boundary climbs after a saddle the southwest spur of the Hornberg and runs on its ridge again to its highest point. Before the stratification level, to which the scabbard clings again here, the Fischbach and its left upper reaches, the Eschenbach , also flow as level edge rivers southwest to the Jagst, which feeds the Rhine via the Neckar .

The area contains a little more forest than open fields. The latter mainly occupy the locations on the Schwarzjura heights, where they are mostly under the plow, as well as the meadows rich in meadows from the middle reaches. The many reservoirs with a comparatively large area of ​​the catchment area of ​​almost 2% are striking. Some of them were only created in the 20th century. However, field names point to other old and now silted up or otherwise disappeared ponds.

More than half of the area is in the area of ​​the municipality of Ellenberg , almost the entire rest in the west and south in that of the city of Ellwangen . A small gusset on the eastern tip near Birkenzell belongs to the municipality of Stödtlen .

Protected areas

The 33 hectare nature reserve Muckental was established by ordinance of January 30, 2004 under the reserve number 1258. It includes even before Ellenberger Weiler Muckental the ground and the lower valley slopes Ellenberger red. In him are Neuweiher and Mucke pond , two historic pond with a hem of shallow water, reeds, sedge, extensively cultivated wetlands and Hochstaudenfluren , surrounded by natural forests .

At the edge of the Muckenweiher there is a lime tree, protected as a natural monument (protected area number 81360180011) and 300 meters east of Muckental there is another natural monument, which is protected as 1 oak with 1 beech tree (protected area number 81360180008).

The Neuweiher am Neuweiherbach is located in the 2.8 hectare Neuweiher natural monument with litter meadow in the Häslewald ; above the pond that gives it its name, it includes mown meadows and fallow meadows that merge over the silted edge with reed bed into the less than half-hectare-sized, shallow lake itself.

In the 4.7 km² large water protection area near Rötlen, which begins after the tributary of the Häslesbach, stretches to below Rötlen and lies largely to the right of the Rotlauf, the Ellwangen public utilities operate Tiefbrunnen.
