The Käsenbach is a stream in Tübingen that rises on the tub and flows into the Ammer .
geography
course
The Käsenbach arises at about 435 m above sea level. NN in Tübingen on the tub near the parking lot next to the road when Herbstenhof the beginning of a steeply eintiefenden Forest blade that runs first to the southwest, where the left bank of the stream follows near the Ursrainweg. In doing so, he falls from an almost inaccessible place in the deep gorge over a sandstone bank in Mittelkeuper . After about 400 meters, a stream of about the same length flows from the Botanical Garden from the west ; The → Geographical Center of Baden-Württemberg is nearby .
Afterwards the Käsenbach turns slowly to the left to the southeast and takes on two more tributaries, first the very short Madergraben , which runs down the eastern slope under the university buildings on the Morgenstelle campus, then another one coming from the west from a wooded side blade, about 350 meters long stream that converges from three spring branches near Schnarrenbergstraße. The section of the valley of the Käsenbach up to this point is colloquially called Elysium .
At the confluence of the Breite Weg and the Gmelinstraße, which now runs in the valley, the Käsenbach disappears into a dole. Immediately afterwards its largest tributary, the Öhler , flows into it, but in its approximately one kilometer long, south-facing Kerbtal, it only flows open for about half a kilometer. Further down in the Käsenbachtal, the deepest part of the Talkerbe between Gmelinstrasse and the Käsenbachstrasse, which runs parallel to it to the left, is still clearly visible in the city area.
The sources do not agree on which route the Käsenbach takes its underground route from the western tip of the Tübingen city cemetery to the Ammer. According to the official waterway map, it then runs under or along Liebermeisterstraße approximately southeast through the Altklinikum and, after crossing Rümelinstraße, flows into the Ammer behind house number 32 in the old botanical garden . Google Maps also indicates roughly the same route. However, Liebermeisterstraße is at least two meters higher than Gmelinstraße. According to other information, the twisted lower course should continue along the cemetery wall of the Tübingen city cemetery east-southeast under Gmelinstraße and finally flow into the Ammer near the Neue Aula behind the buildings Wilhelmstraße 30/1 and 32 a little further down from the left . In any case, the estuary is slightly below 330 m above sea level. NN .
Catchment area
The brook has a catchment area of 2.7 km², it meets at the northern tip between the Heuberg and Waldhausen with the two catchment areas of Goldersbach in the north and Gutleuthausbach in the east, both of which are downstream Ammer tributaries. The western watershed runs on the ridge of the ridge to the south between the highest point of the catchment area on the summit of the Heuberg ( 497.9 m above sea level ) and the Steinenberg (summit at 492 m above sea level , just outside); From the Heuberg summit to around the Botanical Garden, the left upper course of the Rosenbach of the hamlet flowing up from the Käsenbach into the Ammer drains the slope on the other side, then its left tributary Neuhaldengraben.
In terms of nature , the catchment area is part of the Tübingen step edge bay , which is counted as part of the Schönbuch . The brook runs in it in the Mittelkeuper . In the upper catchment area, there is also a lower Jurassic layer island, which in turn carries a layer of loess sediment deposited in the Quaternary .

Geographical center of Baden-Württemberg
The geographical center of Baden-Württemberg is located near the mouth of the first tributary from the Botanical Garden ( 48 ° 32 ′ 15.9 ″ N , 9 ° 2 ′ 28.21 ″ E ). It is marked in nature by a small, somewhat crooked cone made of polished gray stone. The three tonne sculpture made of Franconian Jurassic lime was erected in 1986. The stone circle placed around it symbolizes the southwestern German state, the tilt at 11.5 degrees corresponds to about half of the actual earth axis inclination (23 ° 26 ′).
nature and landscape
The undeveloped middle slope areas of the Käsenbachtal are a specialty of Tübingen. When the settlement was expanded from the old town of Tübingen to the adjacent plateaus, these steep slopes were initially left out. Over the decades, very different forms of use have developed here - from fallow areas to very intensively used areas.
In 2006, the city of Tübingen informed the property owners in the Käsenbachtal that there is an occurrence of fire salamanders that is worthy of protection and also implemented measures to protect the species. The non-profit association for the conservation of threatened animal species and their habitats e. V. Tübingen leases and maintains two orchards in the Käsenbachtal .
history
Roman times
When the New Aula was expanded in 1929, two Roman shards were excavated, which were probably washed ashore by the Käsenbach. It is believed that there was a villa rustica in the Käsenbachtal , which has not yet been discovered.
19th century
In the Oberamtsbeschreibung from 1867 there is a reference to a creek branching off to the Goldersbach :
- “On the markings, flow into the Ammer: the Hembach between Ammerhof and Schwärzloch, the Weiherbach 1/4 hour west of Tübingen and the Käsenbach below the city; one arm goes off at the Ziegelhütte and flows into the Goldersbach near Lustnau . "
The brickworks stood a little north of today's copper building. From there, the second arm of the Käsenbach ran north parallel to the Ammer, until it flowed into the Goldersbach just before its confluence with the Ammer, on the way there it included the Iglersbach and Gutleuthausbach . There were probably several connections between this stream and the Ammer. This can be seen on an old map of Lustnau and for the western area also in the city maps from 1876 and 1903. The straightening of the bunting and the reorganization of the course of the watercourse have already been drawn in as planned in the 1876 city map. According to the city maps, it took place in the Tübingen area between 1876 and 1903, on the Lustnau mark only after 1927.
