The cress blade is a nearly one kilometer long forest blade on the edge of the Bühlertal between the valley hamlets of Unterscheffach and Hopfach in the municipality of Wolpertshausen in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in northeastern Baden-Württemberg . The almost two-kilometer-long stream that runs through it and named after her flows between the two Talweilers on Pfaffengumpen from the right and a total of about northeast into the lower Bühler .
geography
course
The stream through the Kressenklinge begins its course on the plateau to the right of the Bühlertal at a height of about 430 m above sea level. NHN about 0.6 km north of the center of the hamlet of Reinsberg in a gently sloping, wide and flat valley basin between the Weilerfeld in the north-west, Argersdorf in the north-east and Höhe in the south-east. Surrounded by fields, the stream flows in a ditch next to a farm road with a few trees on the edge to the southwest and after about 400 meters crosses the K 2569 Reinsberg-Wolpertshausen. After another 300 meters, now unaccompanied, it sinks under a group of trees in a sinkhole with a bottom silted up by washed-in sediment, on which rock is exposed on one side.
Another 400 meters further in the same direction, at the edge of a dirt road that touches it, the steep valley of the Kressenklinge , which is wooded from the start, begins abruptly . In it the brook flows again openly and partly under shell limestone walls up to 15 meters high on stony ground and falls over rock banks in steps to the valley. However, the flow is unstable and the bed, covered by collapsed stones, is sometimes dry. The gorge, a little over 800 meters long, turns on its lower section to the south-southeast. The stream finally crosses under a curve of the valley road K 2667, which runs around ten meters above the river; this is secured to the left of the blade with a stone wall against the upper slope, in which a small well with a stone bowl is embedded.
After a few dozen meters more down the slope, the stream flows from the right at about 274 m above sea level. NHN into the lower Bühler , widened there into the so-called Pfaffengumpen , which took in the Ramsbach from the same side only about a hundred meters earlier and then turns away from its right-hand slope.
After a 1.9 km long path with an average bed gradient of about 82 ‰, the stream flows through the Kressenklinge about 156 meters below its usual source.
The uppermost trench section of the creek continues from this source next to the farm road for almost 0.4 km uphill to the northeastern watershed, but there is rarely any flow on this section. The stream has no other major tributaries either.
Catchment area
The creek through the Kressenklinge has a catchment area of about 1.2 km². the natural area with its easternmost and highest parts around the usual spring just to the lower area of the Haller level of the Hohenlohe and Haller level and with the middle parts still on the plateau to the lower area of the eastern Kocher-Jagst-Riedel and with the portion from the slope edge of the Kocher valley, especially the cress blade itself, to the lower area of the Middle Kocher and Lower Bühlertal of the Kocher-Jagst plains .
The highest point is on the north face at about 447 m above sea level. NHN on a ridge that stretches westwards to the high forest island Heimat . Behind these lies the upper catchment area of the Cröffelbach , which feeds the Bühler further down. Beyond the eastern watershed lies the mostly dry valley of the Urtelbach , which runs south to the Schmerach , the great right tributary of the Bühler a good bit upstream. In the east-south-east the brook competes through the Heinlesklinge , in the south-east and near its mouth in the south-south-east the Ramsbach . All competitors flow off through steep blades and, like the stream through the Kessenklinge, have inconsistent or at least partially underground drainage, the latter especially on their plateau sections.
There is no settlement area in the catchment area, which belongs entirely to the Wolpertshausen community . On the plateau there are almost only large, field-cleared fields without any hedge; on the other hand, a map from the 1930s shows that the wide basin is still widely used as a meadow. Forest, part of the high forest island Heimat , protrudes into the catchment area alone on the northwestern edge . The cress blade is initially completely forested, on the lower Kochertal slope the forest retreats to a narrow strip around the railing, to the right and left of it are partly terraced fields and meadows down to the valley road.
geology
Geologically, the catchment area is characterized by the shell limestone in the subsoil, on which Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ), the lowest layer of the Unterkeuper, still rests on the plateau right down to the beginning of the Kressenklinge . In the upper and middle blade, the brook cuts through the Upper Muschelkalk and then runs to the mouth at the level of the Middle Muschelkalk .
To the right of the uppermost course, the Lettenkeuper is covered by loess sediment from Quaternary deposits. At its mouth, the stream below the valley road has deposited an estuary fan, which, however, does not stretch very far due to the river running close to the right side of the valley.
The sinking doline, protected as a biotope, is also designated as a geotope.
history
The Pfaffengumpen , where the stream flows through the cress blade into the Bühler, takes its name from a brutal dispute in the 15th century over the appointment of the parish of Reinsberg:
“There is one more tragic incident to be mentioned here ( Prescher op. Cit. OI 207). When the parish was finished in 1433, the Abbot of Comburg gave it to the son of a salt boiler . But because the predecessor had died in one month of the Pope, a pastor appointed by the Pope from the Margraviate of Ansbach also appeared in the rectory and excluded the Hall. A dispute broke out over this, and because Hall and Comburg did not want to interfere, Haller, with the help of Einiger, broke into the parsonage and demanded that the other yield; and because he was reluctant, they dragged him to the Buhler, between Scheffach and Hopfach, threw him in and dragged him back and forth on a rope, which made him give up in the water. (The place there is still called the "Pfaffengump.") Only one brother of the drowned clergyman was a servant Conrad von Bebenburg , who now with some other servants took revenge on the inhabitants of Reinsberg, plundered the village, killed several and committed all kinds of fornication. Upon receiving news, the people of Hall came to the rescue, stabbed some and took 21 prisoners, whom they hanged the day after Nicolai in 1434. There were: Conrad von Bebenburg and his fool, Hans von Thann, Berchtold von Bibrach, a boy from Bibrach, 14 years old, Heinz von Absberg and one von Gebsattel . From this, however, much bigger and bloodier deals arose, which only ended in 1446. "
