The Federbach is a creek about one and a half kilometers long in the municipality of Adelmannsfeldens in the Ostalbkreis in northeastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows a little south of the hamlet of Stöcken to the municipality from the right and northeast and shortly before its confluence with the Bühler flows into the Ohrbach .

geography

course

The Federbach arises a good 100 meters west of the K 3243 from its hamlet Haid to Adelmannsfelden at about 451  m above sea level. NHN at the beginning of its consistently wooded valley basin known as the fox blade . From here he runs through the valley forest over half a kilometer to the west-south-west, until south of the first courtyard of Stöcken the corridor on the right reaches almost to the bed. Here flows from the northeast to 426.2  m above sea level. NHN has its shorter right source branch, which usually only arises in the valley forest and at the top of the Klingenwaldspitze there is an elongated pond a little less than 0.1 hectare in the corridor near Eichhof . Then the Federbach continues in a south-westerly direction, initially between a meadow slope on the right and forest on the left, then a little further in the forest, before finally the corridor opens again on the right. At the edge of the state road 1072 accompanying the river Bühler , it finally flows from the right to around 410  m above sea level. NHN in the Ohrbach , which flows into the Bühler less than a hundred meters after crossing the street.

After its 1.4 km long run, the Federbach flows with an average bottom gradient of about 29 ‰, around 41 meters in altitude below its source.

Above the two usual beginnings of the Federbach branches there is a further inconsistent upper course section as a meadow ditch. That of the main upper reaches (left branch) runs through a flat wet meadow from its beginning at the K 3243 to the beginning of the blade. The additional course of the right source branch begins just over a hundred meters south-east of Eichhorn at around 455  m above sea level. NHN as a wide, swampy ditch between two meadows and soon reaches the above-mentioned pond on the southwestern course at the edge of its own tip of the Fuchsklingenwald. The constantly water-bearing section of this right branch then begins further downwards in the right blade branch a hundred to two hundred meters before the confluence with the much longer left branch.

Catchment area

The Federbach drains about 1.1 km² on the western edge of the sub-area Ellwanger Berge in the natural area of ​​the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains . There is always a middle-class team here. Its catchment area extends from the middle of the forest area of ​​the village about 2.0 km west-southwest to the mouth; it is almost 0.7 km wide. The border to the adjoining Krebsbach catchment area to the right of the Federbach runs on a hill ridge moving west-south-west, roughly along the route of a junction from the K 3243 to Stöcken to this hamlet, and from there it quickly slopes down to the mouth. The left one runs for a long time and almost to the very last parallel on another ridge in front of the partial catchment area of ​​the receiving water in the Ohrbach before the Federbach inlet. The highest point in the catchment area is very close to its point furthest from the mouth on a small knoll in the forest village area east of the county road, which is up to about 483  m above sea level. NHN towers. A short watershed to the northeast between these two points separates the catchment area of ​​a nameless, shorter, almost opposing stream that flows southeast of Vorderwald into the Kocher tributary Blinde Rot .

Slightly less than half of the catchment area is forested, in two contiguous, roughly equal-sized pieces: on the one hand, a portion of the forest area Dorflache northeast of the K 3243 Adelmannsfelden– Haid, still above both headwaters and, on the other hand, the valley forest around the Fuchsklinge and its two near the mouth Overflow blades.

The relatively small population in the catchment area, which is entirely in the municipality of Adelmannsfelden, is limited to the Eichhorn single house and a small part of the hamlet of Stöcken; the Wendenhof farm group of the municipality is just behind the ridge line to the Ohrbach in the south.

The spring pond of the left upper arm and the surrounding area is designated as a small-scale natural monument .

Protected areas

The stream runs on its last meters in the nature reserve Upper Bühlertal and the surrounding area . The entire catchment area lies in the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park .
