The Heimbach is a two-kilometer-long left tributary of the Kocher in the town of Schwäbisch Hall in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which runs through the Heimbachklinge .
geography
The Heimbach arises a little west of the Heimbach settlement on the route of the Schwäbisch Hall western bypass. At the very beginning it runs southeast, then turns east and runs in a settlement-free hollow between the old hamlet of Heimbach in the south and the Heimbach settlement in the north, one behind the other through two silting ponds of around 0.1 ha each. From the lower one it flows piped under the Stuttgarter Straße through and underground on its south side to below the confluence of the B 19 from a south-eastern side hollow. On the left side of the road there is a long-abandoned quarry with a high wall in the Upper Muschelkalk and covered with Lower Copper.
After this Seitentalzulauf in which no open water flows, it enters a stone's throw from the well Heimbacher platforms Stuttgart said road to light up and running for about half a kilometer in a narrow, with limestone slabs quite naturally designed bed hard on the right foot of its steep blade downhill to the northeast. About a hundred meters before it flows into the Kochertal, it changes the side of the road and on the other side enters an open concrete canal with a retention device for floating debris, which then disappears under the northern foot of the viaduct of the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway line crossing the Klinge . It then runs underground a few meters north of Heimbacher Gasse, which runs in the deepest part of the trough, through the suburb Beyond Kochens the Schwäbisch Hall old town to the Ritterbrücke, where it flows from a pipe from the left into the middle cooker .
The Heimbach is about 2.1 km long, has a mean bed gradient of about 46 ‰, on the steepest kilometer through its blade even of 70 - 80 ‰, and it drains an area of about 1.7 km². Its highest point at about 410 m above sea level. NHN is almost three kilometers west of the estuary at its western tip on a hilltop of the forest cemetery. In north-south direction, the catchment area is nowhere wider than one and a quarter kilometers. Except in its western wedge, in the village-like soft area around Heimbach and on the steep slopes of the blade, almost all of it is built on.
The Heimbach runs through layers of the Unterseuper , the Upper and finally the Middle Muschelkalk . In the west of the catchment area lies Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld Formation ) above the Lower Keuper, which also belongs to the Mittelkeuper . In front of the mouth of the blade, the geological map draws an alluvial fan on the lowest slope of the Kocher valley, which, however, cannot be recognized morphologically in nature, at least in the southern part (hollow).
The Heimbach often falls completely dry on its open course due to its blade, but can then swell surprisingly when there is a downpour and has even flooded Steigenstrasse.
history
Up until the middle of the 19th century there was no road in the impassable Klinge of the Heimbach, then called the Hofklinge . The important overland connection from Schwäbisch Hall to the west in the direction of Mainhardt and further used a much steeper ascent from Schwäbisch Hall in the valley via the so-called Alte Heimbacher Steige. At the top it then ran further west on the southern edge of the brook gorge. The new path was opened in 1840.
