The Felbenbach is the right, a good two kilometer long source stream of the Tiefenbach in the Straßdorf district marking of Schwäbisch Gmünd in the Baden-Württemberg Ostalb district .

geography

course

The Felbenbach rises at an altitude of about 500  m above sea level. NHN south of Straßdorf -Metlangen in the Täschenäckern . It initially flows in a northerly direction, and soon a slightly shorter source branch from a blade in a sloping forest opens up to it from the right. Shortly afterwards he changes from the forest to a strip of meadow. It flows past the Felbenhaus on the eastern edge of the hamlet of Metlangen, where it crosses under the L 1075 and then delves into a forest blade. Here it flows to the left of the Kohlrain at the right height, changes its direction to the northwest and now runs in small loops at the foot of the hemp dumps on the left . Finally, it unites below the Hinterhochstett residential area on the opposite slope at about 332.5  m above sea level. NHN with the Höllbach coming from the southwest to the Tiefenbach .

The 2.4 km long Felbenbach flows about 168 meters below its highest source, so the mean bed gradient is around 71 ‰.

Catchment area

The approximately 2.7 km long catchment area of ​​the Felbenbach lies on the northern drop of the 707.9  m above sea level. NHN Rechbergs , whose summit on the southeast corner is its highest point. In terms of natural space, it is predominantly a part of the sub-area Rehgebirgsvorland , which is part of the foreland of the eastern Swabian Alb ; the highest waterless parts are in the neighboring sub-area Rehgebirge itself, which also belongs to this area .

Beyond the ridge on the Rechberg on the short southern border begins the catchment area of ​​the Krumm , which drains to the Fils ; this section of the border is therefore the most hydrologically important. The entire left watershed in the west up to the mouth separates the catchment area of ​​the Höllbach . Beyond the medium-long north from the mouth to the southern edge of Straßdorf, the Deutenbach drains the adjacent area to the Rems . The eastern watershed from Straßdorf back up to the Rechberg summit separates the catchment area of ​​the even higher Rems tributary Waldstetter Bach , which competes with its left tributaries Tobelbach and finally Rechbach .

geology

The most significant geological phenomenon is located on the southern edge of the catchment area on the morphologically highest parts around the Rechberg ridge. Parallel to this, the Swabian Lineament runs from west-southwest to east-northeast , a long-range fault zone on the edge of the Alb , formed here as a tectonic rift . Because of the depth of the layers in it, a floe has been preserved here in isolation from the Weißjura , the Zeugenberg Rechberg. Down from the high plateau, the layers change very quickly one after the other on the slope down to the Black Jura , because here two fault lines run with deep clods on the summit side. Under the law rocks lying keuper layers reaches the stream in its underflow blade about the barrel bend to the northwest, then it flows in Stubensandstein ( Lowenstein-formation ) of the means Keupers with the Höllbach together. A geological path leads from the Tiefenbachtal approximately at the catchment area border towards the Höllbach to the Rechberg. There are three geotopes with outcrops on this path.
