The Habergrund is an orographic left tributary of the Werra in Veilsdorf in the southern Thuringian district of Hildburghausen, almost 12 km long . The upper and middle reaches of the water in Bavaria is called Weidbach .

geography

course

The Weidbach arises in the drainage area of ​​a pond in the Langen Bergen on Meederer municipality area, about half a kilometer northeast of the Alexandrinenhütte viewpoint on the Sennigshöhe on the village boundary of Mirsdorf . Less than half a kilometer further east, the A 73 runs northwards from Bavaria to Thuringia.

The Weidbach carries water periodically for most of its course in north-westerly to westerly directions. First in the forest, then walking between nearby forests, its open valley basin widens to the Weidbachsgrund . Only after crossing over to the urban area of Bad Rodach and taking up the local stream from its church village Grattstadt does it constantly carry water. Immediately afterwards the stream changes over the state border to the municipality of Veilsdorf in the southern Thuringian district of Hildburghausen, where it is now called Habergrund and its last 3.4 km flows steadily northwest. In Veilsdorf, the Habergrund flows from the left into the upper Werra, which runs westwards here .

The course is almost continuously canalized and accompanied by paths, its mean bottom slope is about 7.3 ‰. The longest section of the brook only carries inconsistent water, as does its tributaries, which are often ditches in fields and roadsides. Other noticeable side hollows seem to drain into a brook.

Catchment area

The catchment area is 35.2 km², of which 19.1 km² are in Bavaria and 16.1 km² in Thuringia, which also includes noticeable portions of the northern middle and upper catchment area before the run crosses the state border. From a natural perspective, almost the entire area is part of the sub-area Long Mountains of the Werra-Gäuplatten , a tiny gusset of the mouth of the Hildburghausen foothills of the Thuringian-Franconian low mountain range . There is shell limestone everywhere in the area, the layers of which fall to the northeast towards the Werra. The stream therefore mostly runs in the Middle Muschelkalk , while in the northern catchment area the more erosion-resistant Lower Muschelkalk builds up the heights close to the Werra river valley.

The watershed there in the north and north-northeast therefore delimits the catchment area of ​​the upward Werra, here heights between 510 and 520  m above sea level. Reached NHN . Behind the eastern one, which is up to 527  m above sea level. NHN runs the highest elevations of the catchment area, the right upper reaches of the Rottenbach der Lauter drains the runoff on the opposite side. Beyond the southern sheath, which is rarely over 450  m above sea level. NHN rises, in the east the Sulzbach and in the central and western areas the Rodach with their brook systems compete further downwards also to the Main tributary Itz. This means that the catchment area border from the east to the south to the southwest, although mostly not very prominent, is part of the important Weser-Rhine watershed .
