The Fahrentalsgraben is a brook in the Main-Tauber district in the north of Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the Tauber between Tauberbischofsheim and Impfingen . Its name comes from the previously mentioned abandoned settlement Fahrental (formerly Farental ).

geography

Source branches

The Fahrentalsgraben has two spring branches of the same name. The somewhat longer right one arises in the Mulde Grund between an Aussiedlerhof group on Großrinderfelder Weg above the Tauberbischofsheimer village Impfingen in the west and the wooded hilltop Poppensee ( 334.2  m above sea level ) in the east almost at the upper end in a field at about 283  m above sea level . NHN . From here it runs, partly accompanied by a narrow row of trees and hedges, partly without any recognizable above-ground course, through one field and along the next in a south-westerly to southerly direction. After about 0.7 km, the left source branch, also known as Fahrentalsgraben , which is only about 0.4 km long and opens up, joins the forest area around the Hammberg ( 333.2  m above sea level ) on the boundary to the central Tauberbischofsheim about 272  m above sea level NHN arises.

Further course

The Fahrentalsgraben now runs south-southwest on the left edge of the Fahrental valley floor, which is occupied by fields, accompanied by woods . About half a kilometer from the northern outskirts of the city, it turns to the southwest, the previously narrow valley is now increasingly widening towards the Taubertal. Even before Landesstraße 506 on the eastern edge of the floodplain, it enters a hollow under a field path that crosses the traffic route and then the Tauberaue, known here as Impfinger Grund . Compared to the sewage treatment plant a little downhill from Tauberbischofsheim, it then flows from its Verdolung to a little below 275  m above sea level. NHN from the right into the lower Tauber .

After a run of 2.4 km it flows about 108 meters below its upper source, its mean bottom slope is about 45 ‰.

Even after its spring branches have been united, the Fahrentalsgraben runs to the edge of the Taubertal near the Tauberbischofsheim-Impfingen district boundary. Both on the Tauberbischofsheimer and in the Impfingen district there is a "Fahrental" prize.

Catchment area

The approximately 3.3 km² catchment area belongs to the Tauberland from a natural point of view . The upper part lies in the sub- area of ​​the Großrinderfelder area , the lower part in the sub- area of the Middle Taubertal . Its highest point is in the far north on Großrinderfelder Weg at around 345  m above sea level. NHN From here on, along the left, eastern watershed behind the Hammberg, the brook from the uppermost dry forest grounds competes , which drains into the Tauber via the Edelberghohle in Tauberbischofsheim. Beyond the northern divide along the Großrinderfelder Weg, the Steckenleitegraben drains the adjacent area further down into the Tauber.

The shell limestone characterizes the catchment area, from there the stream cuts through the Upper , Middle and Lower Shell limestone one after the other to the edge of the Taubertalaue . On the uppermost heights in the north, loess sediment from Quaternary deposits covers the highest of these Triassic layers, before the change to the valley floor the Tauber accompanies the narrow strips of sediment around the creek loess-bearing floating earth on the lower slope.

Nature and protected areas

Almost the entire catchment area belongs to the Main-Tauber-Tal landscape protection area , not much less to the Impfingen water protection area . There are large dry slopes on the middle reaches.

history

In the 12th century, a settlement "Fahrental" in the Fahrentalsgraben, now defunct, was first mentioned in a document by the Fulda monk Eberhard. When the town of Fahrental finally disappeared, its last inhabitants moved to the nearby Impfingen .
