The Leimatbach is a creek over seven kilometers long in the northeast Bavarian Fichtelgebirge in the district of Wunsiedel , which flows into the Röslau from the left below the Arzberg village of Seußen .

geography

course

The Leimatbach arises in the west of the municipality of Markt Thiersheim on the other side of the A 93 and about 400 meters before the remote Kleehof, which lies close to the municipal boundary. There begins in a meadow at about 582  m above sea level. NHN is an approximately south-southeast moving, bare ditch that is passed under the motorway after 300 meters. In a shallow basin, the stream now flows along the freeway route at a distance of less than a quarter of a kilometer. He passes the village of Wampen at a similar distance to the left on the lower slope under open hills, while there is a large forest area immediately behind the motorway. Then the valley deepens and narrows, mainly to the left, below a small hillside forest, is the village of Putzenmühle and a wood gallery now accompanies the Leimatbach. Without a settlement gap, people mountain connects to Putzenmühle, opposite a small river flows into some small ponds from a bay on the other side of the motorway.

The brook deviates from the trunk road to east-southeast through Leutenberg. At the end of the village it is crossed by the motorway exit in the direction of Arzberg (WUN 17) and then runs for a while with small-scale changes of direction through a collection of ponds on both sides. On the left at a larger lake in the floodplain, it leaves the forest edge, which has always been near, behind it on the right, is crossed by the Korbersdorf-Grafenreuth road and then reaches the forest island Hohlberg in the area of ​​the small town of Arzberg, at the beginning of which there is a 1 , 2 km long stream that rises between Grafenreuth and the Arzberg village of Garmersreuth. The Leimatbach flows through the approximately one-third square kilometer forest in natural direction changes, after which it runs in the open terrain again in a ditch under some forest sections on the left slope towards the Arzberger Teichmühle.

This is where the longest of its tributaries flows, a 2.2 km long brook that rises at the edge of the Weidenhof Forest, which feeds on its southern course near Garmersreuth and then some ponds and is also partially dotted . After passing the Teichmühle, which is located on a mill pond that is not quite a hectare, the stream crosses under a small stone bridge from the 18th century, on which the trade route from Nuremberg to Eger used to run. Further down, the stream runs under the B 303 , which follows the Röslau on the left, and immediately afterwards under the Nuremberg – Cheb railway line and a district road from Marktredwitz to Schirnding (WUN 18). Below an isolated row of houses in Seußen , the Leimatbach flows from the left at about 473  m above sea level. NHN in the lower Röslau.

The approximately 7.5 km long stream has a mean bed gradient of around 15 ‰.

Catchment area

The Leimatbach has a catchment area of ​​about 12.4 km², which extends with a roughly spindle-shaped contour about 7.4 km from the junction of the St 2176 from the St 2186 in the Thiersheimer Wald Salach to the southeast to the confluence with the Röslau. At its widest point, it is about 2.4 km wide. The left watershed on the northeast side first borders on the catchment area of ​​the Thiersbach and further down to that of the Röthenbach , both of which drain into the Röslau via the Flitterbach below the Leimatbach. The drainage area of ​​the Bibersbach , which flows into the Röslau before the Leimatbach, lies on the outside of the right watershed in the area of ​​the upper reaches . Beyond this watershed, two nameless brooks flow towards the mouth at Oberthölau ; the last is the Peuntbach.

The highest altitude is the Wartberg at 628  m above sea level. NHN near Wampen on the upper left watershed, on the right opposite it the flatter crest in the Waldgewann Gutwaldung reaches only about 610  m above sea level. NHN , which is also the height of the tip of the catchment area remote from the mouth. To the west of the upper Leimatbach there are large areas of forest, but overall the open fields predominate in the catchment area.

Settlements are the wastelands of Berthardsruhe and Kleehof to the northwest and west of the source, the small villages of Wampen , Putzenmühle and Leutenberg on the left of the upper course and Grafenreuth further up on this slope, all of which belong to the Thiersheim market . To the left of the lower course, in the area of ​​the small town of Arzberg , the village of Garmersreuth is located on a tributary, the desert Teichmühle on the river and finally half a dozen isolated houses from the church village of Seußen on the left slope near the mouth.

geology

The Leimatbach rises from Cambrian strata of the Fichtelgebirge, which also accompany its upper reaches. At about the bend in the direction at Leutenberg it changes to the confluence with the Seußener Redwitzit , a gray-black and fine-grained tonalite that was formerly made into paving stones and from which tombs were also made.
