The name Kriegbach is the ablaut of Kraichbach , "winding brook".

geography

Origin and course

The Kriegbach arises from a division of the Kraichbach in Ubstadt-Weiher (district Stettfeld) near the municipality border to Bad Schönborn (district Langenbrücken) at about 108  m above sea level. NN . According to a description of the waters in the Bruchsal area from 1698, the Kriegbach was used to raft firewood from the Lußhardt forests to Speyer . The area around the Kriegbach belonged to the Speyer Monastery until 1803 . At the same time, the Kriegbach served as a relief for the Kraichbach during floods . It is not known when the brook division came about. The distribution of the water between the two bodies of water had been controversial for centuries. The Kriegbach fell dry in 1993; Since the loss of the water rights of a mill on the Kraichbach, more water can be fed to the Kriegbach since the mid-1990s.

Flowing approximately in a north-westerly direction over its entire course, the Kriegbach reaches the border to the Lußhardt forest area after less than two kilometers, where it remains for the next 13 kilometers. Soon it crosses under the A 5 , then it runs just inside the northeastern edge of the clearing island of Waghäusel - Kirrlach . It only reaches the large open corridor again on the south-eastern outskirts of Neulußheim . Here he passes under the B 36 . Over the next three kilometers it forms the southern edge of the settlement area from first Neu-, then Altlußheim against the former Rheinhäuser Rheinschlinge, which is today characterized by backwaters and quarry ponds, and finally flows, after about 18 kilometers, at about 93  m above sea level. NN from the east into the Rhine .

Soon after reaching the Kirrlach clearing island, the Schleußlach flows from the east to the Kriegbach , a little after this the pouring ditch that follows it over its course of almost seven kilometers to the west , just before leaving the Lußhardte, the Duttlacher Graben from the south who has been here longer than the entire Kriegbach ever will. In the past, the lower reaches of the Kriegbach was called the Duttlacher Graben, so that the Kriegbach was a tributary of the Duttlacher Graben.

Tributaries

Hierarchical list of the tributaries of the Kriegbach, tributaries listed below the receiving water from the source to the mouth. River lengths and lake areas preferably from the data sets of the LUBW-FG10, otherwise measured there or on the TK25. Names preferred after TK25. Proper names or location names taken from the sources are in italics, descriptive terms or parts of names are not in italics.

  • Schleußlach , from the right east of Kirrlach in the Unteren Schänzel on a dirt road bridge over the Kriegbach , about 2.2 km. Originates in the north-western corner of A 5 and L 555 in the swampy Bullache .
  • Gießgraben , in the upper course Lochwiesengraben , from the left shortly after re-entering the Untere Lußhardt to the Kirrlacher Flurinsel, 13.3 km. Arises between the Ubstadter Hardtsee (Kieswerksee) and the route of the Baden-Kurpfalz-Bahn close to the west bend of the Unterfeldgraben in Wolfwinkel . In the further course it comes very close to the Kriegbach at its entrance to the forest and bends here along a forest path to then follow the Kriegbach in a polygon with long sections to the left.
    • Grenzgraben, from the right between Ubstadt and Weiher im Brühl , 1.3 km. Connection ditch with the Kraichbach in the east.
  • Duttlacher Graben , from the left on the north-westernmost Hubwald of the Lower Lußhardt , 19.9 km. Arises from the sewage treatment plant in the north of Bruchsal .
    • Unterfeldgraben , from the right, 2.0 km. Arises at the branch of the Kraichtalbahn from the Katzbachbahn near Ubstadt within the flood retention basin Silzenwiesen (inflow from Kraichbach, usual retention area 990,000 m³).
    • Speckgraben , from the left on the northern edge of the Hambrücken clearing island, 5.6 km. Arises at the edge of the forest near the quarry pond north of Karlsdorf .
      • (Inflow from the Speckschlag ), from the right of the L 556, 2.5 km. Originates on the edge of the forest north of Karlsdorf at the junction of the B 35 with the A 5.
      • Reutbach , from the right just before entering the Hambrücken clearing island, 3.3 km. Arises on the northern outskirts of Forst .
    • Heugraben , from the right on the southern edge of Kirrlach, 6.3 km. Arises in the Upper Lußhardt between the A 6 in the east and the stalking path on Engelwiesen-Richtweg.

Kriegbachpolder

A flood in May 1978 triggered the construction of the Kriegbach polder , which is located to the left of the Kriegbach and west of the federal motorway 5 in a forest area of ​​the Upper Lußhardt. The entrance to the polder is on the Sandlacher Richtweg ; it consists of a weir and a 40-meter-long relief gap. Above the inlet, the Kriegbach is designed for a discharge of 19 cubic meters per second, below it for 10 cubic meters. The Kriegbachpolder is bordered to the south by the Dornschlagrichtweg and to the west by the Dreckiger Richtweg - two forest paths that run on dams. With the pouring ditch and the hay ditch, two tributaries of the Kriegbach creek run through the polder , which also serve to empty the polder. In addition, the polder can be emptied via a weir to the Kriegbach on Dreckiger Richtweg . The usual flood retention area of ​​the polder is 667,000 cubic meters.
