The Eutinger Talbach is a 6 km long stream with the name stretching west and then south, and on the longest stretch with the upper course that still rises in the Calw district, even 7.5 km long brook in the Freudenstadt district in Baden-Württemberg , in the village of Mühlen am Neckar the city of Horb am Neckar flows into the upper Neckar from the left .

geography

course

The Eutinger Talbach arises about 1.3 km east of the village center of Eutingen im Gäu near the confluence of the Freudenstadt – Eutingen railway into the Stuttgart – Tuttlingen railway from the confluence of two ditches. The source of the somewhat longer one is at the north-western tip of the triangle at about 475  m above sea level. NHN on the slope of the south-sloping Hummelberg . First following the railway embankment to the south, then turning away from it to the south-west and running between fields to the south-west, after less than half a kilometer the Talbach reaches the depth line of a shallow basin stretching west to west-south-west, where the other source ditch flows into it from the left , which begins near the old Eutingen train station on the south-western tip of the Gleisdreieck.

Then the Talbach flows in its straight ditch, free of bushes and trees, in the direction of the hollow axis towards Eutingen and passes under the K 4710 from Rohrdorf shortly before it reaches it . With only a few houses to the left of the creek ditch, the Talbach runs on the southern edge of Eutingen to the K 4709 leading to Mühlen and takes on the Hochdorfer ditch from the right on the other side of the road at the Eutingen sports grounds , which runs through the village. On the last stretch of the way along the edge of the village to the sewage treatment plant, there are a few trees along the course, where the short Häuslesgraben also runs from the right.

The stream now begins to meander a little and after another 200 meters it reaches about 432.9  m above sea level. NHN the edge of the forest of its lower valley. There, about 3 km below its origin, the Riedgraben, which is about as long up to the confluence, runs from the opposite direction . The Talbach turns abruptly to the left, crosses under the railway line to Tuttlingen and flows more and more south into the Muschelkalktal Eutinger Tal , where the railway line accompanies it on the right slope. In the first section of this valley it sometimes has hardly any flow due to the seepage of the water in the karstified subsoil.

Opposite the Upper Eutingen Talhof, which sits on the right edge of the valley, it meanders around the spur on which the Eutingen ruins lie, and then passes the Lochbrunnen . Further down at the inlet of the blade, through which the pea ditch reaches it from the left plateau, the forest in the valley opens into a narrow meadow. Soon afterwards he passes the valley mill, where a waterworks uses another spring. Down the valley, the stream then constantly carries water. After changing over the Horber city limits, which crosses the valley floodplain at the foot of the serpentine of the K 4709 descending to the left into the valley, a Mühlkanal branches off to the left. On the right side of the slope, the railway line bends through a tunnel into the upward Neckar valley.

In the northern part of the village of Mühlen, which winds up into the mouth of the Eutinger Valley, the canal runs back. Most of the time the Talbach crosses the left Neckar floodplain in the built-up area of ​​the village. In the very last acute angle to the river running eastwards here, the Talbach flows out at 376.8  m above sea level. NHN from the left into the upper Neckar .

The Eutinger Talbach flows after a 6.3 km long run with an average bottom gradient of about 16 ‰ about 98 meters below its origin on the Hummelberg; the relative gradient up to the beginning of the Muschelkalktals and from there is somewhat the same.

Catchment area

The Eutinger Talbach has a 27.4 km² catchment area, which extends in its northern part through the long strands of its own upper course and the Riedbach from these two directions about 11 km from east to west, while it extends north-south measures just over 5 km. From a natural point of view, it is located in the Upper Gäuen , most of it in the lower Korngäu region , and a very small area near the mouth in the Eyach-Gäuplatten lower region .

It borders in turn on the catchment areas of the following neighboring waters:

  • In the north, northeast and east, the Gäu plateau drains to the Seltenbach , a deeper left tributary of the Neckar ;
  • from its mouth upwards, the stream through the Rohrdorfer Täle and less significant Neckar tributaries compete on the southeast side one after the other ;
  • on the southwest side, the area outside drains through the Haugenloch and further up over the Horber Grabenbach above the Talbach to the Neckar;
  • a little before the north-western border the deeply cut valley of the Steinach runs to the Waldach , which feeds the Neckar over the Nagold and Enz only far down at its middle course.

The largest part of the catchment area and the course lies in the area of ​​the municipality of Eutingen im Gäu . Only near its mouth does the brook finally cross the area of ​​the town of Horb am Neckar , which like Eutingen, belongs to the Freudenstadt district in its deeply cut Unterlauftal valley . Large parts of the Riedgraben sub-catchment area also belong to the urban area . Around the tributary Hochdorfer Graben is a small part in the northwest of the catchment area on the Hochdorf district of the city of Nagold in the neighboring district of Calw .

Settlements on the Eutinger Talbach are the eponymous village of Eutingen im Gäu on the right of the plateau , the Eutingen residential area Talmühle in Untertal and a large part of the Horber village of Mühlen am Neckar at the mouth.

In the catchment area there is also a large part of the Nagold village of Hochdorf at the origin of the Hochdorfer Graben tributary, the Eutingen Ziegelhütte residential area near the start of the Häuslesgraben tributary, the Eutinger homestead Oberer Eutinger Talhof on the right upper bend in the Eutinger Valley and, further away from the water, the Eutinger residential areas of the Alter Bahnhof , Hochdorf train station and the outskirts of the Horber village of Bildechingen . One of the Horber Breitenbaum farms is close by on the watershed and the newer, large industrial area at the Horber Harterhof is mostly on the western watershed.

geology

Like all natural areas in the Neckar and Tauber-Gäuplatten Baden-Württemberg, the geology of the Upper Gaue in the catchment area is determined by the shell limestone in the subsoil, on which a layer of Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt formation ) still partially lies. Here the Lettenkeuper lies mainly in a band running from east to west from the Mäuertal at today's Eutingen train station in the east and the uppermost Talbach to the upper Riedbach in the far west in the area of ​​a long subsidence zone that begins in the Seltenbach catchment area to the east. This is limited by several faults, which form a tectonic rift , which probably explains the running directions of both streams perpendicular to the lower course of the valley stream in its middle. In the trench there are even gypsum keuper islands ( Grabfeld formation ) lying in the sequence of layers above the Lettenkeuper . Outside the trench, on the plateau, there is partially trigonodus dolomite of the Upper Muschelkalk , which is covered in other places by much younger loess sediment from Quaternary deposits.

Where the two large upper reaches meet, the Talbach swings vertically to the left and quickly digs into the upper and soon the Middle Muschelkalk . A few small blades run towards the trough of this so-called Eutinger valley .

The streams on the plateau already run in alluvial bands, the larger ones in a floodplain band; this begins again in the Eutinger Tal and accompanies the Eutinger Talbach to its mouth at the level of the Middle Muschelkalk. To the left and thus downstream of today's estuary is a flat alluvial fan in the left Neckar floodplain, which is now built over with houses from the village of Mühlen am Neckar.

Nature and protected areas

The Eutingen valley has a fully developed valley meander below the Eutingen ruin that stands on a mountain spur above it . Below on the left slope is a natural monument of karst springs of the Talbach and the Lochbrunnen in the Eutinger Valley . The Eutinger Tal landscape protection area comprises the entire Muschelkalktal of the Eutinger Talbach up to the local border of the mouth of Mühlen am Neckar, plus small side blades. The Horber part of the catchment area belongs to the Black Forest Middle / North Nature Park .

In the water protection area Talmühlequelle of the Zweckverband Gäuwasserversorgung with around 64,000 residents in the association area, the majority of the catchment area and areas beyond it, a total of more than 30 km². The association operates the larger of its two waterworks, built between 1960 and 1965, at the Talmühle in the Eutinger Valley, where it treats up to 100 l / s of drinking water. The heavily pouring karst springs Talmühlequelle there and the 60 l / s pouring hole well a little further up in the valley, from which there is an underground connection, are used for this.
