Communities Bad Niedernau

The Katzenbach is a 17 km long river in central Baden-Wuerttemberg with its longest upper course , which flows into the upper Neckar in the village of Bad Niedernau in the town of Rottenburg am Neckar in the Tübingen district from the right and a total of approximately southeast .

geography

The Katzenbach arises in the forest area Rammert east-southeast of Dettingen from the confluence of the right and longer Beurenbach and the much smaller left Esperlesbach . Unlike the latter, which originates in Rammert itself, the Beurenbach has its origins before that at Bodelshausen and is by far the more important of the two upper courses.

After the long forest stretch in Rammert, in which the Katzenbach flows for a long time in a meadow meadow, it crosses the village of Dettingen in front of the forest mountains and takes on the Krebsbach from the left , a little downhill from it, until then on a short section called Aischbach . The two bodies of water are roughly the same size at this point.

In the lower reaches of the Katzenbach runs northwards through the narrow Katzenbachtal, on the right edge of which is the Sieben-Täler-Höhle , and flows into the Neckar in Bad Niedernau.

The Katzenbach has a length of 9.7 km from its confluence from the two upper courses mentioned, together with the Beurenbach one of 17.1 km.

Selection.

Confluence of the Katzenbach at about 434  m above sea level. NHN roughly in the middle of the Katzenbach-Dünnbachtal nature reserve . The Katzenbach then flows in a meandering direction in the direction of its dominant upper course Beurenbach west-northwest.

  • Beurenbach , right upper course, 7.4 km and 9.6 km². Arises at about 512  m above sea level. NHN in the Schelmenwasen east of Bodelshausen on a large group of stables. The creek flows first of all to the northeast, then from the edge of the forest approximately to the north and bends into the Rammert a little after half of its way to the west-northwest.

    • (Bach from the Bittenäckern ), from the right and southeast to 457.1  m above sea level. NHN at the left bend of the Beurenbach, 0.7 km and approx. 0.5 km². Rises at about 476  m above sea level. NHN in the Bittenäckern .
    • Röhrichgraben , from the right and north-northeast to about 435  m above sea level. NHN only about 200 meters before the confluence of the Beurenbach / Esperlesbach in the open floodplain of the nature reserve, 1.3 km and about 0.5 km². Arises at about 505  m above sea level. NHN south of Saurückens ( 551.9  m above sea level. NHN ).
  • Esperlesbach , left upper course, 2.0 km and 1.2 km². Arises at about 497  m above sea level. NHN east of the Sau ridge ( 540.6  m above sea level ; another!).
  • (Stream near the Seldenbrunnen ), from the right and north to about 434  m above sea level. NHN a few steps after the confluence, 1.4 km and about 0.9 km². Arises at about 502  m above sea level. NHN southwest of the Saurückens ( 551.9  m above sea level. NHN ).

  • Widdumgraben , from the left and at about 405  m above sea level. NHN a little below Rottenburg am Neckar - Dettingen kirz in front of a field bridge, 2.5 km and 1.6 km². Arises at about 485  m above sea level. NHN east of Hemmendorf- Hemmendorf in the forest.
    From here to the next tributary Krebsbach , the body of water is now called Aischbach on a section only 0.8 km long .
  • Krebsbach , with the upper course Mühlbach , from the left and finally south to about 405  m above sea level. NHN next to the L 389 Hirrlingen – Weiler west of Dettingen, 11.4 km and 23.3 km². (The Katzenbach itself has only accumulated a partial catchment area of ​​20.4 km² up to that point.) The Mühlbach arises at about 530  m above sea level. NHN east of Hechingen - Sickingen on the K 7106, Mühlbach and Krebsbach flow together a little north-west.

Mouth of the Katzenbach at about 349  m above sea level. NHN from the left and south and in Rottenburg- Bad Niedernau into the upper Neckar . From the confluence of its upper reaches Beuernbach and Esperlesbach, the Katzenbach is 9.7 km (including almost a kilometer, on which it is sometimes called Aischbach ), 17.1 km long together with the longer Beurenbach and has a 51.0 km² catchment area. The largest tributary Krebsbach contributes 23.3 km², the upper reaches of the Katzenbach up to the Krebsbach tributary only 20.4 km². In contrast, the Beurenbach-Katzenbach-Strand is slightly longer than the Mühlbach-Krebsbach-Katzenbach-Strand, which only reaches 16.2 km.

Protected areas

The narrow lower reaches of the Katzenbach is designated as a landscape protection area Katzenbachtal (protection area number 4.16.014) by ordinance of the regional council of Tübingen of August 9, 1969 with an area of ​​177.2 hectares . Parts of the Katzenbachtal are included in the FFH area Neckar and side valleys near Rottenburg .
