The Galmbach - near WFD Hessen: Golmbach - is a creek over 6 kilometers long in the Baden-Württemberg and Hessian Odenwald , which flows into the Itter from the left and east-southeast near Kailbach in the town of Oberzent in the Hessian Odenwaldkreis .
The stream runs for about its first 1.7 km in the Baden community of Mudau , then crosses into the Hessian town of Oberzent and is on its last 2.0 km lower course border river between Oberzent left and Mudau right. The Galmbach drains the south-easternmost tip of the state of Hesse .
geography
course
The waters of the Galmbach spring from several springs, the upper valley hollows of which are half a dozen over 500 m above sea level. NHN high peaks of the Buntsandstein-Odenwald separate, under which the Hart ( 581 m above sea level ), fifth highest Odenwald summit , rises highest. In the south of the catchment area, these mountains are steep and towering like a wreath around a basin in which the forester's house Eduardsthal stands, remnants of the village of Galmbach, which was abandoned in 1836 . In this valley spider there is an approximately diamond-shaped meadow clearing of around 10 ha in size with a small reservoir on the eastern edge, in which the water flowing in from all directions collects. From here to the confluence with the Itter, it covers another 3.6 kilometers.
The 2.4 kilometer long Hauptquellbach, already called Galmbach, reaches this pond from the east, through the notch between the Heidenbuckel in the north, as the steep slope of the Kinzert ( 553.2 m above sea level ) is called, and the Lenzberg , the foothills of the Dickbuckel ( 564 m above sea level ), which flanks the source stream from the south. The source is located about 1200 meters west-southwest of the center of Waldauerbach , a district of the municipality of Mudau in the Neckar-Odenwald district , at an altitude of 535 m above sea level. NN . Another, 1.2 km long source stream reaches the valley basin from the south and is fed by the Hart and its neighboring peaks.
The only noteworthy tributary reaches the Galmbach, which flows out of the reservoir, two kilometers further north on the water bottom , a notch that tapers to the southwest between the Kinzert and the Sachsenberg ( 499.3 m above sea level ). After merging with the brook from the bottom of the water, the valley turns in an approximately west-northwest direction, where the Galmbach has notched itself steeply and deeply between the Sachsenberg on the right and the Schildenberg ( 552.3 m above sea level ) on the left, and then to less than two kilometers lower reaches the valley of the Itter, still called Itterbach here , in which it is a little above and north of Kailbach at about 240 m above sea level. NHN flows.
Catchment area
The deep valley gully between Eduardsthal and the mouth is mainly in the Kailbach district of the town of Oberzent in the Odenwald district . The catchment area of the Galmbach and Wassergrund with an area of 15.1 km² is almost completely unpopulated and almost exclusively forested. Only on the eastern edge does part of the fields drain from Schloßau in the direction of Galmbach; next to the forester's house in the valley there are a few houses in the village on the edge of the catchment area. Large parts of the forest areas fall into the forest assets of the Prince of Leiningen , namely Eduardsthal with the entire area of the former independent district of the same name .
The only public road in the entire catchment area is the state road L 2311 , which leads from Kailbach through the lower Galmbach valley and over the Drehplatzbrücke into the water base and from there over the Heidenberg pass ( 460.7 m above sea level ) to the north into the Mud valley system changes.
Tributaries and still waters
Hierarchical list of tributaries and 
lakes from source to mouth. Water length, catchment areas, lake area, height information according to the LUBW map services . Other sources for the information are noted.
Source of the Galmbach at about 535 m above sea level. NHN approx. 1.2 km west-southwest of Mudau - Waldauerbach near the old road in the forest. The creek flows initially in a westerly direction through its upper forest sword .
- Crosses the municipal boundary to Oberzent at about 385 m above sea level. NHN , at the same time the district and state border between the Neckar-Odenwald district in Baden-Württemberg and the Odenwald district in Hesse , after approx. 1.7 km.
-
Runs through at about 355 m above sea level. NHN a reservoir near the forester's house Eduardsthal , approx. 0.3 ha. Outflow from this then approximately to the north-northwest. - (Southern source stream), from the left in the reservoir, 1.2 km and 3.4 km². (The Galmbach itself is 2.7 km long up to the pond and only has a catchment area of 3.0 km here.) Source at about 425 m above sea level. NHN about 0.9 km south of the forester's house in a north-easterly moving forest blade between the Schwanne tubs in the east and Lichtenwald in the north, which starts on the plateau at the saddle between Hart and Köpfchen .
- (Secondary blade inflow), from the right and southeast to over 380 m above sea level. NHN at a forest path crossing, approx. 0.3 km. Arises at about 405 m above sea level. NHN in a blade that starts on the plateau on the saddle between Reisenberg and Hart . After this inflow, the northern course of the southern source stream.
- (Brook from Waschklinge (upper course) and water bottom (lower course)), from the right and northeast to below 290 m above sea level. NHN at the Drehplatzbrücke of the L 2311, 4.2 km and 5.3 km², which enter the valley into the Untertal. Rises from the Vitus fountain at about 525 m above sea level. NHN about 0.5 km west of the outskirts of Schloßau. First runs northwest through the washing blade, then southwest through the water bed. At this tributary, the Galmbach bends on a west-northwest course, about 200-300 meters earlier it is the state border between Hessen on the left and Baden-Württemberg on the right.
Mouth of the Galmbach at about 240 m above sea level. NHN approx. 0.7 km northeast of the Odenwaldbahn stop in Kailbach from the left and east-southeast into the Itter, which runs roughly southwest here . The Galmbach is 6.3 km long and has a 15.1 km² catchment area.
