The Hirschbach is a brook in the Hohenlohekreis in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which, after a slightly less than 14 km long run, first flows to the west-north-west, towards the end to the north-north-west between Orendelsall and Zweiflingen from the left into the lower Sall .

geography

course

The Hirschbach arises today at about 344  m above sea level. NN between fields a little north of the route of the A 6 in the urban area of Waldenburg between the Hohebuch domain in the east and the Hohenlohe service area. There is a dividing structure in the course of the Epbach , where it releases water to the right to the Hirschbach when there is a high flow. From this point on, the Hirschbach flows for the first two thirds of its course to the west-north-west, between marginal hills that initially rise no more than 30 meters above the valley floor, which separate on the right side from the valley of the Sall that will later receive it and on the left from the valley of the Epbach's.

Initially, the fields on the right and left come almost to the mostly bare banks of the stream. In the area of ​​the first hamlet of Lohe , which is now in the urban area of Neuenstein , on the left side of the river, the vegetation becomes thicker, below the first, narrow meadow floodplain on the valley floor in front of the hamlet of Wuchchen . Below the vegetation, the stream, which runs in a straight line up to this point, shows a change of direction on a small scale, now it is accompanied by a contiguous gallery of trees. So he passes the first, somewhat larger, hamlet Lassenhirschbach on the right bank and the Emmertshof on the right slope, under which there is again a small meadow.

At the following hamlet of Großhirschbach , a meadow begins that from now on constantly accompanies the stream on at least one side. Below the hamlet of Kleinhirschbach , which soon follows to the right of the run , the stream begins to form a slow curve to the right, which ends below the last Neuenstein hamlet of Steinsfürtle in a steady north-north-west run. From Steinsfürtle, the nature of the valley also changes, the deepening of which there has reached around 40 meters in altitude and will increase more quickly up to the mouth to around 90 meters in altitude. The fields here recede to the right-hand hill, under which patches of forest and meadow alternate on the slope, while the left slope and the height adjacent to the upper slope edge are completely wooded and the bottom of the now meandering valley is a hundred to two hundred meters wide meadow is taken.

Now flowing in the municipality of Zweiflingen , the stream runs through the small village of Tiefensall , which is not, as the name suggests, on the Sall. On the other hand, the stream passed all previous settlements along the river. In the village, by far the largest tributary, the Schnatterbächle, flows from the right, which is around 4.3 km long with its more important upper course and contributes a partial catchment area of ​​4.3 km². From this point on, the Hirschbach only has a remaining course of around one and a half kilometers with a particularly strong sweeping loop of the valley, then it flows out at around 230.5  m above sea level. NN from the left into the Sall , a few steps before the river bridge of the L 1048 leading from Orendelsall to the municipality capital Zweiflingen. This has so far, compared to the Hirschbach with 18.6 km², only a catchment area of ​​25.8 km², which is why the Hirschbach is an almost equivalent upper course. After its 13.6 km long path, traversed in a mean bed gradient of a good 8 ‰, it flows about 113 meters above sea level below where it branches off.

Catchment area

Today the Hirschbach drains about 18.6 km² on the Hohenloher Plain west-north-west to north-west to the lower Sall ; If the partial catchment area of ​​the upper Epbach up to the dividing structure, where the Hirschbach branches off from this, is included, it would be about 5.0 km² more. The area belongs scenic to Hohenloh level , it is for the greater part in the flat rolling subspace Öhringer level of the natural space Hohenloh and Haller plane , on the lower course and to a lesser extent in the stronger the boiler towards zertalten subspace ear forest Riedel the Kocher-Jagst levels . The highest point in the area is on the eastern edge near the origin and the Hohebuch domain at 361.9  m above sea level. NN , the deepest at the mouth at 230.5  m above sea level. NN .

If you also include the upper catchment area of ​​the Epbach, which only feeds the Hirschbach during floods, the highest point on the Friedrichsberg east of Waldenburg would be about 515  m above sea level. NN still in the natural area of ​​the Waldenburg Mountains of the neighboring greater area of ​​the Keuperbergland Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains .

The catchment area has a slim contour usually, west-northwest at upper and middle sections, at underflow below Steinsfürtle in the ear forest Riedeln north-northwest current tube. The watershed to the right of the Hirschbach borders the entire length of the catchment area of ​​the middle and upper Sall, which runs almost parallel at a distance of at most 2.5 km and flows further down into the Kocher after the Hirschbach stream has taken up ; the left border from the Hirschbach junction from this to the northwest turn of the course at Steinsfürtle on the catchment area of ​​the similarly distant Epbach , which drains over the Ohrn into the Kocher. Further down, behind the now southwestern left catchment area border , the almost opposite-running Ohrn tributary Maßholderbach and finally the Pfahlbach , which flows into the Kocher below the Sall just before the Ohrn, compete .

Origin of the Hirschbach to the right at about 344  m above sea level. NN between the Hohebuch domain in the east and the Hohenlohe service station on the A 6 in the west. Go right here, only at high water, at a dividing structure in the course of the Epbach . From here on, this is buried underground under a bump and led out to the left of the valley basin, so the Obertal drained by it was probably earlier part of the natural Hirschbach catchment area. First west-north-westerly to westerly course.

Mouth of the Hirschbach from the left and finally from the southeast to 230.5  m above sea level. NN at the Sall bridge on the L 1048 Orendelsall - Zweiflingen in the lower Sall . The Hirschbach is 13.6 km long on its current course and has a catchment area of ​​18.6 km².

The Epbach upper course, which under earlier discharge conditions can be assigned to the Hirschbach up to the dividing structure, rises at about 465  m above sea level. NN near Waldenburg -Ziegelhütte and today has a length of about 5.1 km and a partial catchment area of ​​5.0 km². Of this, however, only around 1.3 km² can safely be assigned to the Hirschbach as a former natural catchment area, because the upper Epbach runs in the industrial area in the southeast of the Waldenburg train station on a threshold between the natural hollow of the Hirschbach and the closer one to the east in the direction of Westernach running Rinnenbach , which drains over the Ziegelbach to the upper copper . Since the Epbach today also has to swivel to the left of the Hirschbach by more than 90 ° around a slope foot tongue of the Waldenburger Sporn, while the runoff to the Rinnenbach only needs a right swivel of 45 °, the northeast running, uppermost Epbach is probably more likely under quite natural conditions fed the Rinnenbach.

Localities

The neighboring settlements listed below are located on or near the river:

In addition to the two small towns mentioned and the community through which the Hirschbach itself flows, the small town of Forchtenberg also has a share of the catchment area, to which it includes a corner of the area that protrudes to the south and ends before the Hirschbachtal, with the hamlet of Metzdorf and the Haberhof in it. To the right of the Hirschbach valley , further up in the catchment area, there are also the hamlets of Döttenweiler and Stolzeneck belonging to Neuenstein .

geology

The Hirschbach begins its course today in the band of gypsum keuper ( Grabfeld formation ) that runs around the northern foot of the Waldenburg mountains. Already a little downhill it flows through the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt formation ) of the Unterkeuper , soon in a band of flood sediment in its flat valley. Only a little before Steinsfürtle does it switch to the more erosion-resistant Upper Muschelkalk , from which the subsoil of the Hohenlohe plain consists; from here it deepens and its valley now meanders . It also flows into the Upper Muschelkalk.

The low hills on both sides of the upper and middle reaches are covered by a layer of loess sediment , which goes back to deposits in the Quaternary and provides good arable soil.

Landscape image

The catchment area of ​​the Hirschbach is a largely open, agriculturally used landscape, the predominantly flat areas of which are mostly under the plow. There are almost only meadows in the narrow floodplain that accompanies the river from the middle reaches. Only after the change of direction and below Steinsfürtle are there forests on the now steeper slopes, and fields no longer come into contact with the water. It is soon followed by an initially interrupted, later continuous tree gallery. In the valley, on the slopes and in the larger side valleys there are some rather small settlement areas that have an agricultural character.

The isolated meadow meadow sections on the upper and middle reaches go back at least partially to formerly drained ponds along the Hirschbachlauf. One of them at Emmersthof can still be seen on the topographic map from 1845, as well as the fact that the section with small loops started earlier on the course; the Hirschbach has since been straightened there.

traffic

The Hirschbachtal is not an obstacle to traffic in the upper and middle part because of its small depression. In this section, some shorter connecting routes between neighboring small towns run along the course, but no higher-level road and there is no continuous road in the valley. However, some state and district roads cross the valley, first of all the L 1036 Kupferzell - Öhringen between Hohebuch and Grünbühl, then the K 2356 from Lassenhirschbach to Neuenstein, the L 1052 Künzelsau - Neuenstein near Emmertshof, the K 2349 through Großhirschbach, the K 2352 through Kleinhirschbach and finally again the K 2349 through Tiefensall.
