The Erlenbach in Bieringen

The Erlenbach in Bieringen

The Erlenbach is a river in the north of Baden-Württemberg , which rises in the southern Main-Tauber district and then, with the exception of a short section, runs in the Neckar-Odenwald district in the Hohenlohe district.It flows for a total of 23 km in a roughly south-westerly direction and empties finally in the village of Bieringen in the community of Schöntal from the right into the lower Jagst .

geography

course

The Erlenbach arises a little northeast of Assamstadt in the Main-Tauber district , crosses the village and then runs in a fairly straight line in a less pronounced valley basin to the west-southwest. So he reaches the area of ​​the city of Krautheim and its district Neunstetten , where the valley begins to form loops. Behind the soon following, which also belongs to Krautheim Oberndorf the stream already flowing now south-west and enters the district of the city Ravenstein , where the first of it Hasselbach after crossing from Ballenberg reached from the north, before the Erlenbach then the district Erlenbach crosses. From here the valley is deeply cut and the valley meanders wind closer, its main direction becomes more and more southerly. Then it crosses the municipal boundary to Schöntal , flows here through Aschhausen , reaches Bieringen and there, opposite an old, half silted loop of the river, flows from the right and from its now almost south-running valley into the lower Jagst .

Catchment area

With a catchment area of ​​104.7 km², 19.1 km² of which is contributed by the Seebach and 21.3 km² by the Hasselbach , the Erlenbach is one of the most important tributaries of the Jagst. Further downstream on the Jagst, the Kessach in Aries only compares itself with it again .

The catchment area has roughly the shape of a triangle with a corner in Bieringen in the southwest at the mouth, one in the northwest at the Boxberg junction of the A 81 and one in the east almost near Bad Mergentheim- Hachtel.

Its longest side is the left watershed from the west of Hachtel to the mouth against the Jagst , which approaches the Erlenbach in the middle at Krautheim at its own northernmost point , which is why this side, which runs to the south-west as a whole, is indented in an arc; the two bodies of water are only about 2.5 km apart. From the left side, the Erlenbach, which flows mostly hard on this watershed, therefore has little inflow, namely the Seewiesengraben at the top and the stream from the Sauer Valley at the bottom. The competitor Jagst receives only the Goldbach , Laibach and Horrenbach at more important tributaries .

The right watershed borders against the catchment area of ​​the Kessach, which often runs less than a kilometer in front of it and hardly ever receives an inflow on the left . The Erlenbach, however, receives its more important tributaries Klingenbächle , Seebach , Hasselbach - the largest - and Grundbach , which make its catchment area very right-wing , from this roughly south-southwest border .

The approximately west-northwest attracting third side of the basin towards the Main influx Tauber making it one of the major watershed between the Neckar and Main. The more significant beyond competitors are here Hachteler Bach , the Stuppach which Althäuser Bach and Brunnentalbach that over the Wachbach , and the Ursbach that Ehrlibächle that Hüttesbächle and Hagenmühlwasser that over the Umpfer north draining into the Tauber to the northeast .

Tributaries

List of tributaries from the source to the mouth. Length of water, catchment area and altitude according to the corresponding layers on the LUBW online map. Other sources for the information are noted.

  • Seewiesengraben , from the left on the eastern edge of Assamstadt, 1.2 km. Its valley continues uphill much further to the west of Bad Mergentheim- Hachtel, but in the middle part, where there are some sinkholes, it is dry and in the upper part, the Langen Grund , only temporarily has water. If you set this source stream from the uppermost, temporarily water-bearing point as the upper course, the Erlenbach would be about 4 km longer.
  • Stöckiggraben , from the right in the middle of Assamstadt, 1.1 km and 5.2 km².
  • Klingenbächle , from the right below Assamstadt, 3.7 km and 6.6 km².
  • Stöckichgraben (!), A little afterwards from the left, 0.7 km.
  • (Bach from the Gewann See ), from the right immediately before Neunstetten, 1.7 km.
  • Seebach , from the right at the oil mill to Neunstetten, 5.6 km and 19.1 km², takes up the 4.0 km long Diensbach from the right just before the confluence .
  • (Bach aus der Geldklinge ), from the right below Oberndorf opposite the single house Stockbrunnenwiesen, 1.8 km.
  • Hasselbach , from the right of Ballenberg , 10.1 km and 21.3 km².
  • Grundbach , from the right between Ravenstein- Erlenbach and Schöntal- Aschhausen , 3.3 km and 4.4 km².
  • (Bach through the Rennklinge ), from the left a little afterwards, 1.7 km.
  • (Bach from the Sauer Valley ), from the left opposite the spur of the ruins of Urhausen Castle , 0.7 km.
  • (Bach from the Ebersklinge ), from the right at the Bieringer Ziegelhütte, 1.2 km.

Locations on the run

From the source to the mouth. Only the locations with the deepest nesting depth are neighbors.

Protected areas

Some ponds on a backwater near Neustetten and its surroundings are under nature protection, while the Erlenbachtal near Neunstetten and Oberndorf is under landscape protection on the Mittellauf ; a large part of the lower valley after Erlenbach belongs to the landscape protection area Jagsttal with side valleys and adjacent areas in the municipality of Schöntal . To the east of Assamstadt, around the Seebach and around the mouth of the Hasselbach, there are water protection areas. To the northeast of the town of Erlenbach, part of the forest area there is designated as the Ziegelwald forest reserve.
