The Eselbach is a creek about one kilometer long in the district of Rot am See in the Schwäbisch Hall district in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which comes from the north-east near the village of Brettheim and flows into the upper Brettach from the left .

geography

course

The Eselbach arises in a hollow filled with fields and meadows about 1.5 km northeast of Brettheim, which is bordered on the left by the hill forest around the Hirschberg ( 458.6  m above sea level ) and on the right by the plowed slope of the Feldgewanne Kloster und Stimpfich , the above it goes up a little higher than on the left over the Weißer Höhe . The watercourse, which flows consistently in a straightened ditch, begins its course at around 432  m above sea level. NN im Rain between two fields and initially runs southwest. After about half a kilometer it changes from the district marking of Hausen am Bach to that of Brettheim, after which it flows more and more south. After a completely bare run at the beginning, there is now wood on the bank on about half of the lower half of the run. In the last southern course it flows after about 1.0 km at about 422  m above sea level. NN in the Gewann Eselsteg in the young, also straightened Brettach , which just makes its right curve east around Brettheim.

The L 1040 runs through the valley on the right slope from Hausen am Bach to Brettheim, a developed field path also runs at the right foot of the slope from the monastery courtyard belonging to Hausen to Brettheim.

Catchment area

The Eselsbach dewatered about 0.4 square kilometers to the south-southwest to Brettach that in the subspace Blaufelden-Gera Bronner level of the natural space Eastern Hohenloh level lie. The northern watershed lies close to the course of longer left upper reaches local stream of Rohrbach , of the adjacent subspace Southwest Rothenburger Landwehr eastward to Tauber pulls behind the eastern caused by the slope forest on the already for the subspace Rothenberg Ramholz-back scoring Hirschberg running springs the Rohrbach itself. On these two sides the watershed is at the same time the border between the large catchment areas of the Neckar on this side and the Main on the other side. Before the western border, the longer Rinnichgraben runs from the right slope to the Mulde, but then shortly before it joins the Eselbach in the ditch of a nearby field path to Brettach.

The course of the Eselbach in the valley basin is surrounded by rearrangement and flooding sediments with a wide range of grain sizes, over which gypsum keuper ( grave field formation ) spreads in the unrunned Obertal and on the slopes on both sides .

About half of the catchment area is forest, it stands in a strip in the east on the rise to the Hirschberg , while in the open field the fields in the valley floor predominate and they completely cover the right slope. There is only one settlement in the catchment area, the Hausener Klosterhof in the uppermost valley basin above the origin with only one house number.

Just a ditch less than a hundred meters long along a piece of dirt road runs towards the Eselbach.
