The Kanzelbach , or Kandelbach on one section , is a 13 km long creek in the Rhein-Neckar district in north-western Baden-Württemberg , which flows from the right in Ladenburg into the lower Neckar .
Surname
The upper course of the main stream is first called Röschbach , then Altenbach . In the settlement area of Ladenburg, the stream also bears the name Kandelbach . At the lower reaches it branches off to the left into the Losgraben , which, after taking up the runoff of a comparatively large tributary system, tapers again shortly before the mouth.
geography
course
The brook rises in the Vorderen Odenwald about 1 km southeast of Altenbach at about 357 m above sea level. NHN at his residential area Röschbach or Röschbacherhof as Röschbach , initially flows northwest towards the village of Altenbach, where it is named shortly after entering the settlement area Altenbach , and in which it swings to the southwest. After the lower edge of the settlement, the Ursenbach runs from the right and a little afterwards from the left the Rimbach , which approaches in the west from the edge of Wilhelmsfeld . From this tributary on, the stream is called Kanzelbach, except for the section through Schriesheim, and from now on it runs roughly to the west. First of all, it flows through a water retention basin, after which the so far longest tributary, Katzenbach, flows from the left, then it runs past the village of Stamberg through the so-called Schriesheimer Tal to the town of Schriesheim itself, which lies at the mouth of the valley in the Upper Rhine Plain .
The Kanzelbach runs here in an open bed through the northern old town, passes the Strahlenburg ruin on a left spur and, after crossing the western parts of the city, reaches the A5 . Right here southwesterly over the entire direction of the branches in the south until Losgraben from. The Kanzelbach itself initially maintains its direction as far as the city limits of Ladenburg , where it then bends to the south and, following the southern part of the urban soft area boundary, first resumes the ditch from the left and shortly afterwards, after a total of about 13 km of running at 96.5 m above sea level NHN , where the Neckarhausen ferry flows into the Neckar. In the Ladenburg area, the Kanzelbach changes its name again and is called Kandelbach.
After the division, the Losgraben now carries most of the water in the lower reaches; shortly before its confluence, it also includes the long and catchment-rich Rombach .
The old name of the brook Ilbe still lives in the place name Ilvesheim .
At Schriesheim the brook was partially renatured in 2000 , in the area of the Ladenburg sports facilities in 2005, there in conjunction with flood protection measures.
Catchment area
The Kanzelbach drains around 60 km², which in natural terms belongs to the south-western Vorderen Odenwald in the east , in the west in the Upper Rhine lowlands on the Odenwald-west fringe, it encompasses part of the narrow strip of the Bergstrasse and finally lies in the flat Neckar-Rhine plain as far as the Neckar . Its catchment area has roughly the shape of a triangle with a corner in the northwest at the mouth in Ladenburg ( 96.5 m above sea level ), a northeast corner on the Eichelberg ( 524.9 m above sea level ) and a southern tip on the summit of the Heiligenberg ( 439.9 m above sea level ). The highest point in it, however, is in the interior of the Odenwald part on the summit of the White Stone ( 548.1 m above sea level ). The watersheds are very flat and hardly recognizable in their western parts in the Upper Rhine Plain, while their parts in the Odenwald are clearly defined as mountain ridges.
The northern watershed stretches from the mouth to 96.5 m above sea level. NHN approximately eastwards, very close to the Kanzelbachlauf, to the northern edge of the settlement Schriesheim, where the terrain is only about 110 m above sea level. Is NHN ; on the opposite side, the water flows northwards, initially often without a superficial course, on an old river road of the Neckar, which used to flow further down, over the Weschnitz and its tributaries into the Rhine. From Schriesheim the Scheide then rises in a short northeast running section to the summit of the Hohen Waid ( 455.1 m above sea level ), from here east again over two stone mountains and the Ursenbacher Höhe saddle on the Eichelberg ( 524.9 m above NHN ) near Weinheim - Oberflockenbach ; In this section, too, the now more numerous watercourses to the Weschnitz drain away, most recently via its left Odenwald tributary Grundelbach through the so-called Gorxheimer Tal .
From the Eichelberg the catchment area border then runs in a jagged course to the southwest, first southwards through Wilhelmsfeld to the Schriesheimer Kopf ( 529.5 m above sea level ) in front of the catchment area of the Steinach , then westwards above the sources of the Steinbach on the other slope over the Dossenheimer Kopf ( 538.9 m above sea level ) to the White Stone ( 548.1 m above sea level ) and from there, also in front of even smaller Neckar tributaries, down to the Heidelberger Heiligenberg ( 439.9 m above sea level ) at the southern tip.
On the section of the total watershed that then runs north-west, it quickly descends again to the lowlands at around 110 m above sea level. NHN and then follow the Rombach for a long time to the left . The receiving Neckar is nowhere even only 2 km away from the watershed.
The eastern part of the catchment area in the Odenwald is traversed in the northern part east-west by the axis of the Schriesheimer valley , which is followed by numerous deeply incised side valleys, and further south on the western edge of the low mountain range, intersected by notch valleys, whose waters mostly after a long distance in the foreland run across the Rombach to the lowest Kanzelbach. The low mountain range is heavily forested and sparsely populated. The only larger villages here are Wilhelmsfeld , which is only partially within, and the Schriesheim district of Altenbach in the upper valley. On the other hand, the settlement in the area of the low mountain range around the Bergstrasse is dense, here from south to north the Heidelberg district of Handschuhsheim , Dossenheim and Schriesheim, which is only partially within, are large population centers. Only a part of the similarly large Ladenburg on the western tip is again within.

history
The Kanzelbach was first mentioned in 772 as "Uluina", pronounced ['ylwiːna]. This name is probably of Celtic origin and forms the basis of the old name Ilbe for the Kanzelbach.
The brook once drove twelve water mills in the Schriesheimer Tal and two mills (Rautenthaler Mühle and Cronberger Mühle) in the town of Ladenburg.
On June 11, 1859, a flood of the Kanzelbach devastated several mills and many residential buildings in Schriesheim. The damage was then estimated at 100,000 guilders .
With the construction of the Neckar Canal in the 1920s, the course of the stream was shortened and the confluence with the Neckar was relocated from formerly Ilvesheim to Ladenburg. At the end of the 1960s, this part of the stream that had previously run through the city was drained. Since then, the former Mühlbach has been led around Ladenburger Südstadt to the confluence with the Losgraben.
In February 1972 there was another severe flood in the Kanzelbach.
In the 1970s, the retention basin was built east of Schriesheim.
