The Holchenbach is a flowing body of water in the Ortenau district in Baden-Württemberg . It rises north-east of Durbach as Weidenbach and then runs mostly northwest through the Upper Rhine Plain , where it bears the name Stangenbach in places . Its mouth is 30.8 kilometers below its source west of Rheinbischofsheim and Freistett , where it runs into the Mühlbach from the right .
geography
The source of the Holchenbach lies between Durbach and the Hesselbach (Oberkirch) part belonging to Butschbach at an altitude of approx. 415 m above sea level. NN . Here it rises under the name Weidenbach in the so-called Hummelswald and flows northwest through the vineyards, where the Hermesgrundbach flows into it from the left . From here it flows along the Baden Wine Road to Bottenau , where the Herbstkopfbach and the Rohrbach meet the Weidenbach from the left.
In the vicinity of the town of Bottenau, the Bächelhofbach flow from the left and the Diebersbach , the Schlottenbächle and the Korberggraben from the right into the Holchenbach. From then on to Zusenhofen it flows relatively parallel to the Rench , with which it is also connected by the Mühlbach . From the confluence of the Mühlbach, the Holchenbach is called Stangenbach . Halfway from Zusenhofen to Urloffen , the Katzenbach coming from the left meets him. In Urloffen the Holchenbach crosses under the Rhine Valley Railway and shortly afterwards the Federal Motorway 5 .
After the glow of the right of Erlach is running up unto the Holchenbach, he wears his final name. It then crosses under the DKW Canal and for about 1 km it splits into its original, very winding course and the so-called Holchenbach straightening . After the reunification of the two runs, the Holchenbach has been straightened and the Schwarze Graben flows into it from the right. Shortly afterwards the Holchenbach divides again into the original course and a straightening; the Schwiebergraben .
The Holchenbach itself flows with many loops to Hausgereut , where shortly before the Kammbach meets it from the left . In Rheinbischofsheim the Galgenbach separates from him, which flows to the Mühlbach in Freistett . After this junction, the Holchenbach flows through a ground sweeping to the south-west and then flows out at approx. 126 m above sea level. NN even in the Mühlbach. This then runs for a long time in the north-northeast direction and then flows into the Rhine at Helmlingen together with the Rench from the right .
Correction
In the course of the Acher-Rench correction , the part of the Holchenbach from the crossing under the DKW Canal was straightened until the straightened part separates from the Holchenbach and flows first under the name Rehlach through the Thomaswald and later as a Schwiebergraben when the so-called crash into the Rench - Flood channel opens.
