The Hohebach is a less than six kilometers long stream in the Hohenlohekreis in northeastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the middle Jagst from the left and southeast in the village of Hohebach in the municipality of Dörzbach .

geography

course

The Hohebach arises inconsistently at just under 420  m above sea level. NHN just before the southern entrance to the Mulfingen hamlet of Hohenrot on the K 2310 in a field ditch that begins next to the road and runs to the northeast. This touches the eastern edge of the village, crosses a meadow and then turns, now a long ditch, around the little wood of Birkenschlag on his left, initially on a western, later mostly northern course. It feeds a quarter-hectare pond at the edge of the forest, its banks now remain without trees or bushes for a long time.

Over the next one and a half kilometers to the west, its hollow deepens to about 40 meters compared to the edge heights to the north of the Mulfingen hamlet of Seidelklingen . There in the Gewann Sargen the accompanying fields are suspended, a small dam crosses the lower valley floor. After this the permanently water-bearing part of the Hohebach begins and it turns between now wooded slopes to the northwest. The narrow meadow on the valley floor becomes narrow; where the hillside forests come closest to each other, he changes to the area of ​​the municipality of Dörzbach . There is no longer any path accompanying the stream, which turns northwards after deepening further in the now closed valley forest.

He emerges from the forest about 300 meters from the outskirts of the village of Hohebach . Exactly on the outskirts of the village, its only significant tributary flows into it from the southeast, the approximately two-kilometer-long Hesslachsgraben , in the direction of which it now continues. In the village, half a dozen streets and crossings span its course and it partly flows in a trough between two accompanying streets.

Near the mill in the village, it finally flows a few steps after the return from the mill canal and 150 meters above the arched bridge over the river at about 244  m above sea level. NHN from the left into the middle Jagst .

The Hohebach is 5.7 km long from its trench origin at Hohenrot, only about 3.1 km of it permanently carry water. Of the absolute total gradient of around 176 meters in altitude, this section accounts for around 126 meters in altitude, the corresponding values ​​of the mean bottom gradient are around 31 ‰ (total run) and around 40 ‰ (run with permanent water flow).

Catchment area

The Hohebach drains an area of ​​5.7 km², which belongs to three sub-areas of the natural area of the Kocher-Jagst plains . The upper catchment area is part of the Eastern Kocher-Jagst-Riedel , the lower almost entirely of the Dörrenzimmerner Platte , a gusset last of the Lower Jagst Valley .

The geological highest layer in the catchment area is the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ) responsive to heights of about 390 400  m above sea level. NHN lies. The three hamlets mentioned above stand on it. The Upper Muschelkalk below is then almost down to the confluence of the Hohebach and Hesslachsgraben. Then the Middle Muschelkalk begins , which therefore only has a tiny area. Lower Muschelkalk is still there a little upstream of the mouth in the Jagst Valley, but it abruptly breaks down at a fault line running to the northwest, which is followed by the valley of the Hesslachsgraben; the deep floe of the fault lies on the Hohebach side. The shell limestone is karstified, as can be seen in some sinkholes and also in the periodic drying out of the upper Hohebachs and Heßlachsgraben as well as all smaller tributaries, which often run along dirt roads, but mostly in natural hollows.

The 423.5  m above sea level. NHN's highest point in the catchment area on its south side is marked by the water tower at Seidelklingen. There in the south and also on the entire west side is the catchment area of ​​the Forellenbach , which also flows a few hundred meters down the Hohebach into its estuary village in the Jagst . The opposite right watershed runs to the nearby valley of the Jagst. From the sheath, it has a noteworthy tributary with its own valley formation just beyond the southeast corner with the stream through the Jagstberger Rote Klinge .

The southern and eastern edge of the area with the hamlets of Seidenklingen and Hohenrot belong to the municipality of Mulfingen , which has an area share of around two fifths, the rest with the hamlet of Heßlachshof and part of the village of Hohebach at the confluence with the municipality of Dörzbach . The hamlets lie high above the valley basins, near the still young Hohebach is Hohenrot, but on the run itself only the estuary village. Most of the area is open, with the exception of valley and hillside forests and sometimes quite small forest islands on the heights. Except on the steep slopes and in the valleys, the open land is plowed almost everywhere.

Origin of the Hohebach at just under 420  m above sea level. NHN a few steps before the southern entrance to the Mulfingen hamlet of Hohenrot on the K 2310. The stream initially flows northeast to north.

  • (Trench from the Sauerholz ), from the left and south to almost 385  m above sea level. NHN about 0.6 km northwest of Hohenrot, about 0.3 km and about 0.3 km². Arises at about 397  m above sea level. NHN the upper edge of the forest too close to a spring and a sinkhole; Ditch below the forest. Inconsistently water-bearing.
  • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svgFeeds and drains a pond with a pre-pond at about 501  m above sea level. NHN about half a kilometer northeast of Hohenrot on the far edge of a small forest island, a total of 0.3 hectares.
    Here the stream has just turned to the left, and continues to flow in a westerly to northerly direction.
  • (Bach ditch), from the left and south to about 367  m above sea level. A hundred meters after a dam crossing the lower Mulde northeast of the Mulfingen hamlet Seidelklingen in the Gewann Sargen , approx. 0.6 km and approx. 0.4 km². Arises at about 403  m above sea level. NHN on the northern edge of Seidelklingen.
    • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svgRuns at about 391  m above sea level. NHN a small, permanently dammed retention basin, 0.2 ha.

Arises at about 386  m above sea level. NHN about 0.3 km west of the Dörzbacher hamlet Eisenhutsrot between a developed field path and a grass path on the left, between which it then runs almost to the end.

NHN in the valley forest less than half a kilometer before the mouth, about 0.7 km and about 0.5 km². Source on a lonely tree at about 363  m above sea level. NHN between the Gewannen Läusersberg left and columns right. Long digging, only leads inconsistently water.

Nature and protected areas

The open corridor of the middle and upper catchment area has been cleared and divided into large fields, between which only some forest islands enliven the landscape. In the lower valleys near the confluence of the Hohebach and Heßlachsgraben, overgrown stone bars set in, which are typical of the Jagsttal in this region.

A puddle north of the Heßlachshof is a natural monument . The two large valleys in the lower area, with the exception of the Hohebacher local area, belong to the Jagsttal landscape protection area with side valleys and adjacent areas between the Schwäbisch Hall district boundary and the Krautheim / Schöntal community boundary .
