course

The Kirschbach rises near Obergrunstedt and flows from there to the northeast through Niedergrunstedt . The brook flows on the Ilm-Saale-Kalkplatte to the Wallendorfer Mühle, which was driven by the Lottenbach. The valley of the Kirschbach is only slightly notched in the upper area of ​​the clay slabs, but has strong relief energy in the vicinity of the Ilm valley trench . There it flows into the Lottenbach in the immediate vicinity of a trout farm. The Kirschbach flows between the Galgenberg in the northeast and the Böckelsberg in the south and breaks through the harder crinoid limestone level. In the course of its course, it records several layer sources .

history

The Kirschbach is documented as Katzbach and Kaczschbach from 1634 and is called Kirschbach in 1792. The name is derived from ahd . quard (excrement) to denote the swampy character of the valley - or from the Slavic kaca for duck or gat for swamp. The name changed at the end of the 19th century because of the cherry tree plantations located there at that time. In the area of ​​the Kirschbachtal was in 10./11. Century a village, which is occupied by wave-decorated ceramics. The Kirschbachtal was a popular motif of the Weimar School of Painting .
