The Krebsbach is a brook in central Baden-Wuerttemberg with a north-westerly direction throughout, which is over 6 km long on its name section and together with its dominant right upper course Mühlbach over 11 km. It flows west of the village of Dettingen in the city of Rottenburg am Neckar in the Tübingen district from the left into the Katzenbach , of which it is the largest tributary. It first crosses the large Rammert forest , its meadow valley in it is called Schellentäle or Hemmendorfer Tal .

geography

Upper Mühlbach

The Mühlbach rises at about 530  m above sea level. NHN about half a kilometer east of the village of Sickingen in the city of Hechingen next to the K 7106 running from there to the southeastern edge of Bodelshausen (from the district boundary K 6932). Accompanied by the road on the right and densely growing vegetation on the bank, the brook runs north-east in a flat, damp hollow and after a good half a kilometer it crosses the municipal boundary to Bodelshausen, along the south-eastern edge of the settlement it runs for the remaining few hundred meters up to its first Running kilometers maintains its direction to the confluence with the Butzensee .

It flows out of the lake approximately westwards and then runs in and on the edge of Bodelshausen, which has expanded strongly on this side, mostly twisted in a generally approximately northwestern direction towards the old town center, after which it soon reaches the other end of the village. Four tributaries flow into it from the left, the last two of which, the Ghaibach and the Höllbach , are about one and a half and two and a half kilometers in length, respectively. After the village, it continues its course in the now deeper valley basin in the same north-westerly direction to the edge of the forest area Rammert , in whose south-western part Rauher Rammert it then enters west-north-west. After a last good half a kilometer, finally past the Bodelshausen sewage treatment plant, it runs 4.9 km below its source with the much smaller left Krebsbach upper course Riedbach at about 447  m above sea level. NHN to the Krebsbach together. The Mühlbach has a catchment area of ​​around 7.5 km².

Upper Riedbach

The Riedbach runs entirely in the forest of the Rauhen Rammerts. It rises at about 538  m above sea level. NHN on the northern slope of the Langenharts very close to the edge of the forest to the corridor around the southeastern Bodelshausen hamlet of Oberhausen and runs somewhat winding for about 1.4 km north-west to its confluence with the Mühlbach and has a catchment area of ​​only 0.8 km² mostly also in the forest.

course

The cancer Bach continues the west-north-west of its confluence direction of its larger upper reaches mill stream. It passes a group of lakes on the left bank in the initially still narrow floodplain through which it flows in small meadow meanders and takes in a few small tributaries from the left and right. Then the floodplain widens strongly and it flows in a straightened course with only sporadic tree vegetation on the bank after turning away from the forest edge. The following larger tributaries from the forest, the Zimnerbach with almost two and a half kilometers, the Holzwiesenbach with less than two kilometers and the Harbach with three quarters of a kilometer, all come from the right.

Around the inlet to the last one, its Auental ends in Rammert, the forest mountains on the right and left drop down to a corridor level. It runs through a usually waterless retention basin that was created in the early 2010s and now runs northwest towards the village of Hemmendorf in the city of Rottenburg am Neckar . The only larger tributary that follows, the one and three-quarters kilometer long and also left Weiherbach, flows into the southern soft area of ​​the village, arises near Hirrlingen and runs quite flat and for the first time again on the whole route in an open field.

Under the row of trees running through the picture from left to right in front of the village church, the Krebsbach runs through Hemmendorf

After crossing Hemmendorf there is willow bushes on the bank, but it soon stops. Then the Krebsbach bends in front of the 466.5  m above sea level. NHN high single forest crest Eichenberg the level on northern course. It now runs again in a valley basin that only half a kilometer before the mouth begins to form half a loop to the left. In this the stream has partly rocky banks made of shell limestone.

The Krebsbach flows at its end at about 405  m above sea level. NHN about 6.5 km downstream of its confluence in Rammert and about 11.4 km below the source of his great upper reaches Mühlbach from the left, and finally south to the east of here coming and just last Aischbach called Katzenbach , who then continues to flow north. The Krebsbach is by far the largest tributary of the Katzenbach. Its catchment area significantly exceeds that of the Katzenbach up to the tributary.

The Krebsbach flows about 125 meters above sea level below the source of the Mühlbach and, together with this, has a mean bed gradient of about 11 ‰.

Catchment area

The Krebsbach has a 23.3 km² large catchment area, which extends from a 535.9  m above sea level. NHN high flurkuppe at the farms Butzenwasen von Hechingen , which is about a kilometer east of the Mühlbach origin, extends about eight and a half kilometers to the northwest to the mouth. At right angles to it, it reaches a maximum width of four kilometers. It has a share in three natural areas ; the upper catchment area in the southeast in Bodelshausen belongs to the lower area of the Steinlach of the Middle Alb foreland , the middle one lies in the almost entirely forested sub- area of Rammert von Schönbuch and Glemswald , the north-western area near the mouth is part of the lower area of Eyach-Gäuplatten of the Upper Gau , a predominantly open landscape again. The highest point is near the southern border on the western edge of Hechingen- Bechtoldsweiler and reaches 535.9  m above sea level. NHN .

The catchment areas of the following neighboring waters are adjacent in turn:

  • Beyond the entire north-eastern watershed, left tributaries flow to the Mühlbach-Krebsbach-Strand, which runs almost parallel here, from its main upper reaches Beurenbach and Katzenbach , into which the Krebsbach flows;
  • on only a short stretch of the eastern watershed, the Tannbach drains the other side to the Steinlach ;
  • behind the southwestern and finally western watershed, streams flow from the right to the Starzel .

Like the Katzenbach, both large neighboring bodies of water are tributaries of the upper Neckar .

On the Mühlbach there is only the eponymous village of the municipality of Bodelshausen , on the Krebsbach itself only the village of Hemmendorf of the city of Rottenburg am Neckar . In addition, parts of the villages of Sickingen and Bechtoldsweiler, which belong to the city of Hechingen, are located on the southern edge in the upper catchment area , as well as the Bodelshausen hamlet of Oberhausen and its Aussiedlerhof Birkenhof . The middle catchment area in Rammert is completely free of settlement, in the lower one there is no other place apart from Hemmendorf. In addition to the municipalities already mentioned, the municipality of Hirrlingen also has a share in the catchment area, a large one in Rammert, a smaller one on the Eyach-Gäuplatten, which only extends near the mouth of the river to the west bank of the Krebsbach. With the exception of Hechingen in the Zollernalb district , all municipalities belong to the Tübingen district .

geology

The upper course of the Mühlbach rises in the lowest Opalinus Clay formation of the Central Jurassic . On its initially north-easterly course up to the Butzensee along the south-eastern edge of Bodelshausen's settlement, it soon follows a fault line that offsets the Opalinus Clay on the deep floe on the right against the Jurensis marl or the Posidonia schist formation on the high floe on the left. In the lake, it turns to the northwest and then passes through the other layers of the Lower Jurassic in the local area  - the Amaltheenton , Numismalis marl , Obtususton , Arietenkalk , Angulate sandstone and finally the Psilonotenton formation . The uppermost layer of the Mittelkeuper , the tuber marl ( Trossingen formation ), in which the Mühlbach runs up to the beginning of the Rammert, begins in the center of the village . In this, on the higher valley flanks and on the heights - below a few peaks above in the tuberous marl - the Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ) stands, while on the lower slopes soon Obere Bunte Margel ( Mainhardt Formation ), Kieselsandstein ( Hassberge Formation ) and Lower Spread out colored marl ( Steigerwald formation ). Little after the confluence of cancer Bach starts first at Auenrand only narrow thread of Schilfsandstein ( Stuttgart Formation ), which later in the Schellentäles extended only a few places to small Spornverebnungsflächen while including then soon the Gipskeuper ( grave field formation ) crosses out . This lowest middle Keuperschicht ends after the Rammert in the local area of ​​Hemmendorf, where it is replaced by the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ) as the lowest Mesozoic layer. About half a kilometer before the mouth there is Upper Muschelkalk on the valley floor , the brook runs here in the Upper and Middle Tael troughs in half of the loops typical of this layer, sometimes the limestone rock forms the bank.

With the onset of the Mittelkeuper in the center of Bodelshausen, the main stream of the stream, still called Mühlbach, begins to run in a Holocene floodplain loam, which on both sides of the Krebsbach expands to a width of up to half a kilometer after the stream flows out of the leaf spoon in the middle Rammert. Already before Hemmendorf it becomes narrower again and even more after the place in the very narrow, but not yet very deeply cut new valley basin.

In the Rammert there is loess sediment from a more recent age on some valley flanks and on some heights . This layer also predominantly covers the Lettenkeuper and the Muschelkalk in the catchment area below Hemmendorf.

Nature and protected areas

On its way in the Lower Jurassic to the center of Bodelshausen, the Mühlbach is classified as rich in coarse material , then, like the Krebsbach, until it enters the Muschelkalk, it is classified as a carbonate low mountain stream rich in fine material . The subsequent short section of the Krebsbach is then again rich in coarse material.

Its catchment area in the Rammert comprises the larger part of the Rauher Rammert landscape protection area , the smaller of which continues beyond the northern watershed to the course of the Katzenbach.

Vollmershalde nature reserve right on the slope above the Krebsbach near Hemmendorf

To the east of Hemmendorf, under the western spurs of Herrenhäule ( 529.3  m above sea level ) and Köpfle ( 528  m above sea level ) of the Rammert, there is almost half a square kilometer of the Vollmershalde nature reserve . It extends in a curve from the right edge of the outgoing Schellentäles to a northwest slope of the Rammert to the plane lying in front of some Hangewanne with the central Vollmer heap on which previously wine was grown. Today there are dry stone walls, poor grassland and many loosely standing fruit trees.

Traffic routes

From the Butzensee, the L 389, which branches off from the B 27, follows the stream from Mühlbach and Krebsbach to the confluence at a maximum of 200 meters, but mostly much less. On the short stretch before that, the K 7106 / district border K 6932, the Sigmaringen – Tübingen railway line and the main road run alongside the Mühlbach.
