The Lauter is a river on the northern edge of the Swabian Alb and in the foothills of the Alb in central Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the Fils from the right and east on the edge of the town of Süßen in the district of Göppingen after a 16 km long, first approximately southern, then approximately southwestern run .

geography

course

Source area of ​​the Lauter

The Lauter rises in the Ostalbkreis about 2 km north of the Schwäbisch Gmünder district Degenfeld and less than half a kilometer southeast of the Furtle Pass at about 610  m above sea level. NHN in the Zumpen parcel . Depending on the amount of precipitation or meltwater, either the slope debris in the gorge forest there already carries water or the ditch in the grassland areas below.

From the left flank of the valley below the road leading from the Furtlepass to Weißenstein, the young Lauter soon reaches the middle of its trough-like valley, which is open on the bottom and only wooded on the middle slope or above, and runs approximately southwards in it. It crosses the village of Degenfeld in the southernmost district of Gmünd and continues downhill at the local border to its upper district of Weißenstein over the district border into the area of ​​the small town of Lauterstein in the district of Göppingen . In the local area, after the Weißensteiner Lauter has been taken up from the south-east, around the beginning of the central reaches of the future west to south-westerly run, the accompanying state road joins the B 466 coming from the side valley , which now accompanies the river to the mouth.

A little downhill, the river crosses the southern part of the other district of Nenningen of Lauterstein, parts of which are also located in the side valley of the Schwarzwiesenbach , which tapers from the north-northwest , changes from the Swabian Alb over the city limits to Donzdorf area into the foothills of the Alb and immediately passes its hamlet Grünbach on the left lower slope. The Maibach flows again from the right at a small mill residential area in the small town , after which it passes Donzdorf itself on the north-western and northern boundary of the settlement. The Simonsbach flows through the place , after it, coming again from the north, the Reichenbach , with a length of more than 9 km and a catchment area of ​​almost 16 km², the most important of all tributaries.

Finally, the Lauter crosses the municipal border to the small town of Süßen , on the eastern edge of the settlement it soon rises to around 364  m above sea level. NHN from the right and finally northeast towards the end of the big bend to the west flows into the middle Fils .

After a 16.4 km run, the Lauter flows with an average bottom gradient of around 15 ‰, around 246 meters below its origin.

In Donzdorf the Lauter runs over a seven meter high waterfall. Between Donzdorf and Süßen it has natural cliffs; the kingfisher also occurs there. The mouth area in Süßen is not in a natural state, because the streambed there was excavated and covered with stone and concrete slabs and there are concrete walls to the side.

Catchment area

The Lauter has a catchment area of ​​68.2 km², which in terms of natural space lies with its upper part down to Nenningen in the western part of the Albuch and Härtsfeld , more precisely the Albuch . The parts further to the west count successively to the lower area Rehgebirge of the Eastern and the Filsalb foothills of the Middle Alb foreland .

The highest point is the summit of 778.1  m above sea level. NHN high Bernhardus at the northeast corner of the catchment area above the Lauterquelle.

In turn, the catchment areas of the following neighboring waters are adjacent:

  • In the northwest, beyond the Kalten Feld between this and the Stuifen, the Waldstetter Bach arises .
  • In the northeast, beyond the Fürtle Pass, lies the headwaters of the Strümpfelbach , which takes in the Waldstetter Bach and flows into the Rems .
  • In the east, on the low-water Alb plateau, lies the upper catchment area of ​​the Wedel , a tributary of the Brenz , which drains over the Danube into the Black Sea ; on this short section of the total watershed, it is part of the European main watershed between this and the North Sea .
  • In the southeast, the adjacent area mostly drains via the Eyb to the Fils above the Lauter.
  • In the west, after smaller tributaries near the Lauter estuary, this predominantly the Krumm the drain on the other side continues down to the Fils, which, like the Rems afterwards, also feeds the Rhine via the Neckar .

  3. ↑ All but the most elementary rivers flow together from many tributaries and upper courses. What is commonly called a river or stream, namely a maximum stretch of flowing water with the same name, is often incomplete in the hydrological sense, because the section does not begin at any source, but only below it, namely when all the upper reaches have a different name. Or it is not representative of the river system drained by it, because the path of the so-called section continues up the stream system in the less significant of two merging upper courses in terms of water flow. Hydrologically more relevant than the common everyday running section of the same name, which is dependent on the historical coincidences of the naming, is therefore the so-called main strand, i.e. the strand in the uphill flowering water system which, viewed upstream, follows the more important branch at each division.
