Field origin

At the origin of the field bald with a fountain and miniature castle

The origin of the field bald is in the forest above the town of Rottenberg , a part of the municipality of Hösbach . Your source is located at 325  m above sea level. NHN between Klosterberg (381 m) and Rottenberg (408 m) at the hiking home, near the outdoor swimming pool. This layer source arises between the geological layers of the Zechstein and the Buntsandstein . The origin of the field bald spots is dry for most of the year. Only shortly before Rottenberg does water collect on the lake meadow.

At the fountain there is a boulder with the writing “Feldkahlursprung” and a miniature castle. This was built in 1936 from stones from the Odenwald . The spring water fills the moat and was used as a water supply for the forest house until the end of the 1960s. After the castle was badly damaged by a storm in August 2008, the system and the water inlets were redesigned.

She reaches the village of Feldkahl , named after her , where she takes in some tributaries. Then it crosses under the State Road 2307 . Between Feldkahl and Schimborn , the brook used to run the Feldkahler Mill, which is no longer in existence . At the location at the time, it crosses the municipal boundary to Mömbris .

Then the Folzbach coming from Daxberg joins from the left and the Feldkahl is passed under the state road 2305 . In Schimborn it is diverted from its original stream bed with the help of a weir and is used to irrigate the surrounding gardens. 200 m west of its actual mouth, it flows after a total length of 5.7 km near the Obermühle into a left arm of the Kahl .
