The Klingenbach is a creek not quite two kilometers long on the edge height and on the right slope of the lower Bühlertal in the municipality of Wolpertshausen in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the lower Bühler from the right and northeast in the Wolpertshausen Talweiler Cröffelbach .

The Klingenbach is the second tributary of the Bühler in Cröffelbach after the Cröffelbach , which flows into the hamlet from the same side just a little above. Much further up, in the Bühlerzell hamlet of Heilberg , another Klingenbach flows from the left into the upper Bühler.

geography

course

The Klingenbach begins its course at about 422  m above sea level. NHN on the north edge of the village Wolpertshausen on Raiffeisenstrasse, where a row of trees begins on the south side of this. The stream initially flows in a ditch along the road on the outskirts of Wolpertshausen to the west-south-west. After about 600 meters, it passes under the K 2556 to Hohenberg in a short twisted section at the western end of the village , after which it begins at about 405  m above sea level. NHN around 0.5 km to the stream originating the eponymous blade of the stream, a steep forest limestone gorge, it flows through the rapidly to the valley. In it the brook falls over limestone banks and stores its debris elsewhere, in which it can disappear completely when the water flow is low in summer. On the left, the former B 14, which has been downgraded to Landesstrasse 2218, accompanies him down to Cröffelbach.

After a little more than half of its course, it turns in its blade to the southwest and then reaches the northern outskirts of Cröffelbach, where the forest, which has already narrowed to a tree gallery, slowly breaks out. Next to the foot of the main road, he briefly walks in an artificial rectangular trough with a debris trap and then disappears under the road into an underground canal. Behind the houses on the other side of the street, it steps outside again and then flows about 50 meters further at about 265  m above sea level. NHN from the right and north-east into the lower Bühler , a little below the weir in Cröffelbach, in front of which an engine duct for a power station runs parallel to the left in the opposite Mühlstrasse.

The Klingenbach runs through its approximately 1.3 km long section from the beginning of its blade, where it loses around 140 meters in height, with a mean bed gradient of a remarkable 105 ‰.

Catchment area

The Klingenbach has a catchment area of ​​around 1.8 km² in the Kocher-Jagst Plains natural area , the greater part of which on the plateau to the right of the Bühlertal down to the upper Klinge belongs to the sub-area of Eastern Kocher-Jagst-Riedel , the only small part of the Slope and on the valley floor of the Bühlertal belongs to the sub-area Middle Kocher- and Unteres Bühlertal . The brook arises in the transition area between the Lettenkeuper blanket ( Erfurt formation ), which is still part of the Lower Keuper, in the area of ​​the Kocher-Jagst plains and the Hohenloher plains , its blade then cuts into the layer package of the entire shell limestone , from the steep slope upper over the flatter Middle Muschelkalk spreading out on the slope up to the confluence with the Lower Muschelkalk , which starts a little above Cröffelbach on the valley floor of the Bühler.

The northern watershed from the east end of Wolpertshausen to a little west of Hohenberg borders the catchment area of ​​the Haßfelder Grimmbach , which drains west over the lower Grimmbach to the Kocher . On it lies with the something over 445  m above sea level. The summit of a knoll in the Langäckern, a little northeast of Hohenberg, is the highest point in the catchment area. From the west of Hohenberg the right watershed then runs almost southwards over the steep Bühlertal slope down to the mouth. The left and south-southeastern watershed rises from there over the Bühlertal slope called Pfostenhalde and then runs back up the plateau through Wolpertshausen to the upper tip of the catchment area in the east of the village. On the other side, the Cröffelbach , which flows only about a hundred meters above the Klingenbach and flows down through the Lochklinge from the plateau to Cröffelbach, drains here throughout .

There is almost no forest on the larger portion of the area on the plateau, apart from the narrower valley basin, the fields dominate the fields. In the area of ​​the steep Bühlertal slopes, especially to the right of the Bachklinge on the south-facing slope below Hohenberg, there used to be vineyards. Today the terrain is almost fallow and more and more bushy, starting from the old stone bars .

Over the post heap between the blade of the Klingenbach and the Lochklinge, the right Cröffelbacher Steige from the Bühlertal climbs the edge height in three long serpentine strokes. Before the construction of the A 8 , which now runs a little before the northern edge of the catchment area and bridges the Kocher valley cut further west, the steep climb in the course of the old B 14, which was then more heavily used, was a significant traffic obstacle, especially in winter.

The stream and its catchment area lie in the area of ​​the municipality of Wolpertshausen , whose eponymous village stretches along the ridge between the plateaus of Klingenbach and the rival Cröffelbach. The Höhenweiler Hohenberg, which belongs to the west of it, lies entirely, and a large sector of the Talweiler Cröffelbach is in the catchment area.

Nature and protected areas

The Klingenbach only occasionally carries water in its blade. In the bed littered with rubble, the flow sometimes seeps away in sections. Rocks often rise above the course and the stream falls several times over horseshoe-shaped cascading edges from erosion-resistant limestone banks.

On the right upper slope of the blade there is predominantly forest with a few areas of grassland in between. Stone bar remains on this south-facing slope indicate earlier viticulture. Coarse block rubble also lies in parts.

The stream finally flows into the nature reserve Unteres Bühlertal , which runs as a narrow strip on both sides of the river through the hamlet of Cröffelbach. Its blade and the parts of the catchment area that sloped sharply towards the Bühler outside of the townscape belong to the Bühlertal landscape protection area between Vellberg and Geislingen with side valleys and adjacent areas .
