The Glattbach is a left tributary of the Schmie, also known as the Schmiebach, in the Ludwigsburg district in Baden-Württemberg . It is not to be confused with another Glattbach , which flows into the Kreuzbach just a few kilometers to the southwest .

geography

course

The approximately 8 km long Glattbach rises as Brünnlesbach between Illingen and Schützingen , 200 m east of the source of the Sulzbach and 600 m southwest of the Schreckstein ( 383.6  m above sea level ). It flows first in an easterly direction, then increasingly in a southeasterly direction. After Ensingen is located, the course bends south-southwest between Ensinger See and the western flank of the Bartenberg , flows along the western edge of Kleinglattbach , where it is now called Glattbach , passes under the new Vaihingen station on the Mannheim – Stuttgart high-speed line and grazes including the site of the former Vaihingen concentration camp . The stream flows into the Schmie at the junction of the L 1125 from the B 10 in front of the southeastern tip of a shell limestone quarry, only 600 m before its own confluence with the Enz .

Catchment area

The Glattbach drains a catchment area of 14.7 km², the uppermost part of the mountain range Stromberg in natural space power and Heuchelberg belongs, where the waters themselves on the subspace border between Stromberg and Südluchen Stromberg foothills rises. Thereafter, the larger part belongs to the Neckar basin , mainly to its sub-area, the southern Stromberg foreland , while the part closer to the mouth belongs to the Metterplatte .

The geological layers in the catchment area correspond roughly to the natural division. In the mountain landscape of the wooded Heuchelberg the higher layers of the Mittelkeuper stand up to the Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein formation ) on the Fleckenwald ridge, in the Stromberg foreland the Gipskeuper ( grave field formation ) is at the top almost everywhere , on the Metterplatte above Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt- Formation ) and finally near the mouth of the Upper Muschelkalk mostly loess sediment from Quaternary deposits. A short disturbance after the railway line that crosses the stream moves Lettenkeuper in the northeast to Upper Muschelkalk in the southwest.

The most important watershed is in the north on the ridge in the Großer Fleckenwald , in the north-west near the source on the Schreckstein ( 383.6  m above sea level ) and in the north-east at its spur-shaped end on the Eselsberg (up to 394.3  m above sea level) . NN ) even the greatest heights can be reached. Behind this watershed, the Metter flows very close and parallel , first from Eselsberg with the Horrheimer Graben and then further along the northeastern watershed to the Aischbach on the other side of the Bartenberg ( 261.6  m above sea level ), which have some significant tributaries from the Scheide Has. The area behind the short catchment area border in the south is drained directly by the large Schmie receiving river Enz . In the north of Vaihingen the watershed bends in a north-westerly direction; on this section back to the north-west corner, the Erbbach and Sulzbach brooks that flow further up into the Schmie compete .

Tributaries and lakes

The Glattbach, which has inconsistent water flow right up to the entrance to Ensingen, does not experience any significant inflow until after the village. At the beginning of its right turn there is a permanently dammed flood retention basin with an area of ​​1.8 ha on the right of the course, which is followed on the same side by two ponds of less than 0.4 ha and a little over 0.1 ha; Opposite the second, a brook less than 0.9 km long flows out of a hollow in the forest area around the Bartenberg , which drains a pond there with an area of ​​less than 0.1 ha. After further inconsistent inflows, the Glattbach then, after crossing under a disused section of the Württemberg Western Railway, takes on its largest tributary less than 0.8 km before its mouth, the 2.3 km long Hungerbach flowing from the east , which is a partial catchment area of ​​3, 8 km² contributes to that of the Glattbach.
