geography
Hüttenbachquelle
The source of the Hüttenbach lies on the northern edge of the former Obereichstätter quarry. It is a strong karst spring (geotope no. 176Q007) that can pour up to 750 liters per second. Today it is privately owned.
course
The Hüttenbach flows in two arms through Obereichstätt . Part of its crystal clear spring water is fed into a water treading facility. Past the houses of the old ironworks, the Hüttenbach flows into the Altmühl .
The street Am Hüttenbach in Obereichstätt was named after him.
history
The abundant source of the Hüttenbach is probably the reason for the emergence of Obereichstätt and a prerequisite for the construction of the iron and steel works . Around 1700 Hüttenbach operated three mills, the upper, lower and powder mills (later called the oil mill), as well as the so-called Pochhammer , in which the iron was forged.
