The Kühlenbach is a right tributary of the Swabian Rezat near Weißenburg in Bavaria in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen .
course
The stream rises at an altitude of 478 m above sea level. NN southeast of Stadelhof not far from Bundesstraße 2 on the western slope of the mountain on the level . It flows steadily in a north-westerly direction and crosses a wide open landscape during its entire course . After around 1.8 kilometers it flows next to the Treuchtlingen – Nuremberg railway line at around 419 m above sea level. NN in a drainage ditch with this long along approaching, only 1.1 km Markhof ditch together; The following, less than 200 meters long trench along the railway line runs to the southwest and thus almost towards the Swabian Rezat, into which the Kühlenbach flows at an altitude of about 416 m above sea level. NN from the left, where it crosses under the railway line for the first time.
The name of the less than 200 meters long, artificial lower section from the confluence of the Kühlenbach and Markhofgraben cannot be determined with certainty from the relevant sources; Greater length, larger catchment area, the at least rudimentary valley formation on the upper reaches of the Kühlenbach as well as the earlier course of the Markhofgraben on the west run under the railway line further downwards directly into the Franconian Rezat, however, all speak for the Kühlenbach as the namesake.
Individual evidence
- ↑ a b c d Topographic Maps , Bavarian Surveying Office ( BayernAtlas )
- ↑ Both bodies of water are not listed under map service water management, FGN Bavarian State Office for the Environment ( information ), therefore only the BayernAtlas of the Bavarian state government ( information ) can be considered as a source , on which lengths such as catchment areas up to the brook union were measured: 1.8 km and 3.0 km² for the Kühlenbach, 0.8 km and 0.8 km² for the Markhofgraben. The historical map that can be selected there lets the Kühlenbach end at the edge of the railway line already entered there, without continuing on the other side; a drainage of the embankment apron can be safely assumed, so probably a ditch runoff on today's shortest route to the river. This map, on the other hand, shows a line that continues at today's bend in the Markhofgraben on the other side of the railway line, probably the old course on a shorter route to the Swabian Rezat in the Ried. A process that originally only served the Kühlenbach is more likely to be named after it, if at all.
