The Erbach , in sections first Kobersteiner Bach , then Dieperzbach and finally Quengelbach , in the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Altenkirchen (Westerwald) is an approximately 8 km long, orographically right and northern tributary of the upper reaches of the Wied in Altenkirchen (Westerwald) .

course

The Erbach rises in the Mitteliegbergland . Its source lies in a forest area between the villages of Beul in the west-southwest and Hilgenroth in the east-northeast on the eastern flank of the Beulskopf ( 388.2  m above sea  level ) belonging to the Leuscheid ridge . It rises about 650 m east of the district road  37 Hilgenroth - Bachenberg at about 321  m altitude.

Initially the Erbach flows to the south-east and only takes on the Schlehhecker Bach from the right and then finally crosses from the Mitteliegbergland into the Niederwesterwald . Later, the source branch of approximately the same length from Hilgenroth joins from the north. Then it crosses under the Oberwesterwaldbahn Au-Altenkirchen for the first time , which from then on accompanies it and crosses it twice on bridges, and from here now mainly runs south.

First the Erbach flows through Obererbach , where the Hackser Mühlengraben branches off to the left , then passes along with this ditch Hacksen , which lies on the northern slope of a side valley that tapers from the east. From this valley, the Hackser Bach flows towards it, after it had recently taken up the Mühlengraben. Here the Erbach flows along the eastern edge of Niedererbach , where the Niedererbacher Bach flows along the southern settlement boundary. After that, the now also happens Kober Steinerbach called river the Good Koberstein on the lower right side of the valley. The next tributary is the right Bachenbergbach, after which the creek is also called Dieperzbach, because after that the village of Dieperzen is on the right on the lower spur of the mouth of the subsequently flowing Dieperzer Bach. The first houses in the next town of Honneroth are also just above the right foot of the slope, only the Honneroth estate is close to the brook in the right floodplain . From now on also called Quengelbach, the stream crosses under the federal highway 8 , which leads around Altenkirchen to the north. Shortly thereafter, the Sörther Bach coming from the east flows into the outskirts of the village.

In the Altenkirchen core town, the Erbach crosses under the Driescheider Bach coming from the northeast, first the federal road 8 and then the Oberwesterwaldbahn , about 200 m south of this railway line at a height of a little below the 213.75 m height line in the Rhine flowing roughly from the east -Course to flow into the Wied . State road  267 (Koblenzer Strasse) leads directly to the west of the confluence on a bridge over the Wied.
