The Langwiesenbach , also known as Langwiesbach , is a right tributary of the Stainzbach in western Styria . He has the number 2241 in the digital water body index of Styria.

Run

The Langwiesenbach has been flowing completely in the municipality of Stainz since the municipal consolidation in 2015 . It rises in the cadastral community of Kothvogl in this community in the north of the railing between Tomberg and Kothvogleck in a wooded ditch. This trench is located in the community forest , the subsurface of which consists of sea sediments from the former Florian Bay. These rocks are remnants of former sea cover and sea beaches around 10 ± 5 million years ago from the Miocene and subsequent deposits of river gravel .

The stream then flows between meadows in the valley between Tomberg and Kothvogl, initially to the north, where there are some fish ponds in an area called "Langäcker" in the cadastral plans (the length of the arable land does not differ from the length of other fields in this one Territory, see the section on the name). The course of the Langwiesenbach then continues on a gravel terrace of the Stainztal, which is called "Stainzfelder", through a passage under the Radlpass Straße B 76 to the east. This area is a river terrace that was created in the last Ice Age ( Würm Ice Age ). From there it forms the border between the cadastral community Graschuh and KG Stainz, until 2014 this was the border between the local communities Rassach and Stainz. About 400 meters further, the bridge of the Stainzerbahn passes over it shortly before the railway entrance to the Stainz station . The stream then flows through the area of ​​the former match factory in Stallhof and forms the border between the cadastral communities of Stallhof and Graschuh. The state road L 617 Mettersdorfer Straße leads with a bridge over the brook, to the east of which the brook is the border between KG Stallhof and Herbersdorf in the municipality of Stainz. The Langwiesenbach flows east of the sewage treatment plant at 11.773 kilometers from the right into the Stainzbach.

At the railway bridge is the Hans-Neubauer-Naturpark, a small green area with a wayside cross.

The course of the Langwiesenbach was changed significantly in the years around 1980 as part of the regulation of the Stainzbach, its previous meanders straightened. The property and cadastral boundaries were not adapted to the new course, so that the earlier course of the stream bed is visible at these borders.

A small wood is under nature protection as the "Auwaldrest near Stallhof (Herbersdorf)" in the Herbersdorf cadastral community (protected area NSG-c21). It is located south of the Langwiesenbach near its confluence with the Stainzbach and is about 0.7 hectares in size. There are several ponds in this alluvial forest . The ponds are covered with plants ( floating leaf zone , submerged spawning herb zone ) , their banks have large sedge ( silting zones ). A drainage ditch in the nature reserve is a habitat for frog spoons , swamp yarrow and other plants that specialize in this habitat . The protected area is endangered because its area is too small to shield it from adverse effects.

Surname

The name has nothing to do with the length of a meadow, but is derived from Slavic or Celtic : Laane means an arm of the river in the linguistic usage of the area. The name is related to the course of the stream in wet meadows (from Slavic lonka , locative lonce or from * lǫka "wet meadow").

The fact that an “o” in a name can become an “a” can also be proven in this area in the name of the Laßnitz . The derivation of the Celtic “Lahn (e)” - inert water (similar to Lannach , Lang ) is also based on the abundance of water in its surroundings: “Lahnen” are rivulets, oxbow lakes or silting river arms that form the landscape before the river regulations belonged to the western Styrian valleys. Whether the lower reaches of the Langwiesenbach was once a (tributary) arm of the Stainzbach cannot be proven, but it cannot be ruled out either: the bed of the Stainzbach forms a bend to the north west of Stainz, if it were to continue straight it would meet the bed of the Langwiesenbach .

history

In the 19th century the river was called "Trattenbach". From 1783 to 1805 the brook formed the border between the Graz and Marburg districts of the then Duchy of Styria from its mouth to just west of today's Radlpass-Straße , after which it was entirely in the Graz district. The district boundary is visible in the maps of the Josephinische Landesaufnahme as a pale pink line next to the stream.

The brook lies in an area that was frequently affected by floods before the regulation of the Stainzbach. After rainfall it was “flat and full” (with water that cannot drain quickly due to the lack of a gradient and promotes swamping).
