The Gütenbach is a brook in the Viennese districts Hietzing and Liesing . It is a feeder of the Liesingbach .

course

The Gütenbach is 6930 m long and has a gradient of 33 ‰. Its catchment area is 8.7 km².

The brook rises on the slopes of the Dreihufeisenberg in the Lainzer Tiergarten nature reserve in the 13th district of Hietzing. Its mostly dry feeders in the upper reaches are heavily ramified or stretched into narrow gorges. The Kerbtal of the upper reaches becomes a sole valley in the middle reaches , in which meanders form.

The Gütenbach leaves the Lainzer Tiergarten through a barred wall passage at the Gütenbachtor. It now runs through the forest and meadow area of ​​the Kalksburg district of the 23rd district of Liesing, which is part of the Liesing landscape protection area. The Kaisergraben flows into the brook on the left. The second Viennese spring pipeline crosses the Gütenbach in a culvert . In its lower reaches the stream flows through populated areas. It leaves the flysch zone and reaches the Northern Limestone Pre-Alps . It finally flows into the Liesingbach on the left.

The Gütenbach carries water all year round. Its mean discharge (MQ) is 0.06 m³ / s. In the event of heavy rainfall, its water flow can increase suddenly. With a flood of the century (HQ100) 25.3 m³ / s are reached. At the Gütenbach there is a high, if not very high risk of flooding compared to Vienna. In the event of a flood of the century, infrastructure is affected to a lesser extent and the resident population is affected to a greater extent.

history

For the most part, no major human interventions were recorded for the Gütenbach. However, this does not apply to its mouth area. There was a weir here as early as the 18th century , where a mill stream was diverted. This Mühlbach led after its extension by means of an aqueduct over the Gütenbach. Around 1912 the Gütenbach was completely discharged into the Mühlbach with regular water flow. A straightening and hard construction of the estuary section, with a direct confluence with the Liesingbach, was realized by 2010. A renaturation of this section was completed in 2016. Among other things, the paving in the stream bed was removed, shallow water areas were set up and new trees were planted.

ecology

  • Meadows in the Gütenbachtal

  • Auerwiese

  • Diana meadow

  • Eichwiese

  • Community meadow

  • View from the Jägerwiese

The Gütenbach is one of the most natural brooks in Vienna. A strip of alluvial forest , which is characterized by black alders , grows almost continuously on its banks . On the Dianawiese, ash trees and striking old hornbeams thrive on the banks of the stream . The Kaltbründlwiese has several spring outlets that feed trenches accompanied by cornices , reeds and marsh grass meadows . In the Kalksburger Gütenbachtal there are several rough meadows , including the extensive Eichwiese. In addition, 6 hectares of land are used for arable farming.

Numerous plant species grow in the Gütenbachtal in Kalksburg, which are strictly protected under the Vienna Nature Conservation Act:

The purple forest bird ( Cephalanthera rubra ) in the Gütenbachgraben and the grass iris ( Iris graminea ) on the Gütenbachwiese also thrive in the Lainzer Tiergarten .

The following species belong to the bird world in the Kalksburger Gütenbachtal:

Skylark and Feldschwirl can also be found in the Gütenbachtal in the Lainzer Tiergarten.

In Gütenbachtal in Kalksburg living bat TYPES nymph bat ( Myotis alcathoe ), Bechstein's bat ( Myotis bechsteinii ) Noctule ( Nyctalus noctula ), Common Pipistrelle ( Pipistrellus pipistrellus ) and parti-colored bat ( Vespertilio murinus ). The amphibians native here include the yellow-bellied toad ( Bombina variegata ), the common toad ( Bufo bufo ), the tree frog ( Hyla arborea ) and the common frog ( Rana temporaria ). Of snakes that are smooth snake ( Coronella austriaca ) and the Äskulapnatter ( Zamenis longissimus ) to find. The grasshoppers in the Kalksburger Gütenbachtal include the great plump insect ( Isophya modestior ), the belly insect ( Polysarcus denticauda ), the southern shrub insect ( Pholidoptera fallax ) and the mole cricket ( Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa ).

The Gütenbach in the Lainzer Tiergarten is a habitat for dragonflies TYPES Great source of honor ( Cordulegaster heros ) and ringed Bridesmaid ( Cordulegaster bidentata ). In a study mid-1980s were stone crabs ( Austropotamobius torrentium ) and the fish species trout , minnow , loach and Koppe detected in the stream.
