The Glessbach is a creek a little over a kilometer long on the Westheim suburb of the municipality of Rosengarten in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the middle Kocher in the floodplain about half a kilometer south of the village outskirts of Westheim from the left and west-south-west .

geography

course

The Glessbach arises in the high forest around the Steinbühl ( 484.4  m above sea level ) about 0.4 km northwest of its summit near the forest path from the direction of the Suhlbühl to the Hörnle spur . It rises at about 430  m above sea level. NHN in the here still narrow and steep Klinge Taubenloch , which moves east-northeast. After about 150 meters, where the bed drops by about 30 meters in altitude, shortly before the inlet of a second one from the south-southeast, the blade merges into another valley basin, on the slope of which from the forest path to the Hörnle a path that branches off crosses the watercourse. This then follows it to the right a little above the valley floor to the edge of the forest to the Kochertalaue down the valley. In this section, the stream sometimes falls over small steps, its bed, which is often steeply cut, is up to a meter wide and in many places there is block rubble.

At the edge of the forest at about 330  m above sea level. NHN the path crosses the stream again and moves away to the north under the left slope Schelmenwasen , where orchards and garden plots lie. The Glessbach, about half a meter wide here, on the other hand, continues on the second half of its course, accompanied by a tree gallery, in the old direction in the Gewann Vogelau over its flat mouth fan superimposed on the wide Kocherau and passes a reed field. Finally, a dirt road crosses it in the floodplain near the shore, then it flows out at around 309  m above sea level. NHN from the left into the middle stove, which flows slowly here . Opposite the mouth is a loop of the back of the Kocher arm reaching to the right foot of the slope of the river valley.

The Glessbach is 1.3 km long and runs through an altitude interval of around 131 meters on this route, its mean bottom slope is around 104 ‰. It has no major tributaries, but is fed by damp slopes.

Catchment area

The approximately 0.7 km² catchment area of ​​the Glessbach lies with the vast majority of the completely wooded mountain portion on the Steinbühl . Its 484.4  m above sea level. NHN high summit is the highest point in the catchment area and lies on its southern edge. From a natural point of view, this larger area is part of the sub- area of ​​the Mainhardt Forest of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains . In the area of only small mouth triangle in an open corridor whose subspace encounter Gaildorfer pool cooker up to the neighboring natural space Hohenloher Haller plane belonging Haller bay with Rosengarten cooker down.

The Glessbach follows a line of faults in the fault bundle of the long-reaching geological subsidence zone Neckar-Jagst-Furche , which is found to be in the area of ​​the Glessbachstal and whose deep floe is on the right, which is proven above the source . Therefore, to the right of the valley, there is long Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ), while to the left of it the jaw of the plateau surrounding the valley, which runs down to the Hörnle spur , is made up of geologically deeper silica sandstone ( Hassberge Formation ), which is also leveling . In the valley, the lower colored marls below ( Steigerwald Formation ) are followed very quickly by the Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld Formation ), which extends to the edge of the Kocherau, which is filled with a wide band of flood sediments.

The entire area lies on the Westheim suburb of the Rosengarten community and is completely unpopulated.
