The Rot is a left tributary of the Kocher, about 37 kilometers in length, in northern Baden-Württemberg , which runs in an easterly to south-easterly direction for almost its entire length through the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park and flows into Gaildorf - Unterrot . To distinguish it from other rivers of the same name, some of which run very close, it is sometimes also called Fichtenberger Rot .

geography

origin

"Origin of the Rot" at the Stollenhof, view upstream. 49 ° 5 '43.1 "  N , 9 ° 27' 44.7"  E

The red arises near the steep drop of the Keuperstufe in the border area between Mainhardter Wald and Löwensteiner Mountains , in the westward-facing wedge of the plateau of the Mainhardter Wald that runs out towards the Wüstenroter Chausseehaus. Different stream origins are given, the state official is opposite a mining pit on the east side of the road to Wüstenrot (K 2102), which branches off southward from the federal road 39 at the Bernbach farmstead, at about 495  m above sea level. NN . A drainage ditch runs upwards through a damp meadow towards the Chausseehaus and the foot of the Hackenberg in the west, partly marked as a blue course on maps, from where the inflow is not constant. If you take its upper end as the red origin, this is approximately 499  m above sea level. NN . The two roads mentioned also drain in wet weather via a ditch next to the K 2102 from the north to the official origin, at the junction the B 39 itself is just over 500  m above sea level. NN and rises to the west to something else.

About 800 meters further east and downstream, where a side road from the Stollenhof to the south into the Weihenbronner Wald crosses the ditch-like course, a sign with the inscription "Ursprung der Rot" indicates yet another origin, this time at a little below 485  m above sea level . NN lies.

course

The Rottal near Wielandsweiler

The red then flows through pathless terrain below Finsterrot in a south-easterly direction. Here she crosses the 13 hectare Wiesen nature reserve in the Rot- and Dachsbachstal near Finsterrot , whose wet meadows have been protected because of the occurrence of globeflowers and orchids . The natural bank zones also offer birds such as the dipper and the kingfisher sufficient nesting opportunities. After about 5.5 kilometers, the Rot reaches Böhringsweiler .

Hammer forge in the Rottal

Meanwhile strengthened by numerous small brooks from the Wüstenrot municipal area, their course is now open to human use. The Rot has dug itself into a 60 meter deep, narrow valley in this section and flows in an easterly direction. At Böhringsweiler, the Rot is briefly accompanied by a country road, then by a forest road. The federal road 14 crosses the Rottal between Großerlach and Mainhardt and thus offers access to the popular hiking area. Signposted cycle paths accompany the run from now on to the mouth. On a longer stretch the brook forms the municipal boundary between Großerlach and Mainhardt. The names Neusägmühle, Hammerschmiede and the sawmill at the Rösersmühle are evidence of economic use. To this day, the mills built in the Middle Ages are the only settlements in the upper Rottal. At the Hankertsmühle , which was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century , the brook once crossed the Limes ; the small fort Hankertsmühle secured the border there. The valley widens noticeably at the Taubenmühle, and after approx. 17 km a small village is reached for the first time near Wielandsweiler .

Mill wheel from the hammer mill near Oberrot

Here, halfway through the course of the river, the valley has become much wider. From now on, the Rot flows south-east again and is accompanied by a state road , the layout of which only led to the founding of Wielandsweiler in the 19th century. The settlement consists of individual mills up to Oberrot , of which the hammer forge still has a large mill wheel that is worth seeing . From Oberrot, larger settlements determine the course of the river. Via the Oberrot district of Hausen , the Rot reaches Fichtenberg after about 29 kilometers .

From Fichtenberg the Rot flows to the Kocher in an easterly direction via Mittelrot and Unterrot. Here on the lower reaches the valley is more important for traffic, it is the eastern part of the traffic axis that runs between Backnang through the upper Murrtal over a low pass at the "Schanze" near Fichtenberg into the valley and then from here to Gaildorf im Kochertal ; the busy state road 1066 and the Waiblingen – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental railway line run side by side on this route from the Stuttgart region to the north-eastern part of Baden-Württemberg.

At the Mittelrot gauge , the long-term mean discharge is 1.94 m³ / s (measured 1980–2003). Shortly after Unterrot, the Rot flows into the Kocher after about 36 kilometers at 326 meters above sea level.

Catchment area

The Rot has many small but no major tributaries. Its 137.7 km², comparatively narrow catchment area is bounded in the north and east by the other tributaries of the Kochers running north and south, namely the Brettach , the Ohrn and the Bibers , in the south-west by the Murr and in the area of ​​the This also applies to those of the flax .

In the north, Bubenorbis and the plateau around Neuhütten are also part of the catchment area, otherwise the border to Brettach is roughly marked by the course of the B 14 and B 39 on the Kammweg. In the southwest the border of the catchment area runs along a line over Großerlach , the Hohe Brach , the "Schanze" between Fichtenberg and Fornsbach and the Hagberg .

In addition to the communities crossed by the Rot itself, the catchment area also includes parts of Rosengarten (Schwäbisch Hall district), Spiegelberg , Murrhardt (near Kirchenkirnberg ) (Rems-Murr district) and Gschwend (Horlachen, Eichenkirnberg, Honkling) ( Ostalb district ).

Inflow system

The Rot has a very narrow catchment area in which numerous rather short bodies of water reach the rather central river. The longest run has its underflow tributary Rauhenzainbach (mouth from the right at Fichtenberg ) with 6.5 km , among the others are the Rötenbach (mouth from the left at the middle course at Schwäbisch Hall- Wielandsweiler ) and Glattenzainbach (mouth after the Rauhenzainbach from the right between Fichtenberg and medium red) longer than 5 km.

Resident

From the source to the mouth, the following communities have a share in the Rottal:

River history

Like the longer Lein in the south, the Bibers in the northeast, Eisbach and Blinde Rot in the east, the Rot flows against the general direction of discharge of the receiving Kocher from east to south, which testifies to the former affiliation of the rivers to the Danubian system before it later by tapping the digester near Unterrot, drainage began via the digester in the Neckar and Rhine .

Fish stocks

In the red (with frequency distribution in%) occur:

Rivers with the same name in the area

The red that flows into the cooker is the largest of several watercourses with this name in the Swabian-Franconian forest mountains . Name bases are the east of Welzheim by the union of Black Red and Sinister Red resulting red that the flax flows, called Gschwender Red , which in Täferrot east also opens into the flax, as well as the blind red corresponding to the digester at Abtsgmuend flows .
