The Leinacher Bach , also called Leinach , is a nearly nine kilometer long brook in Lower Franconia that flows from the left into the Main when coming from the south .

Surname

The name Leinach consists of the Old High German basic word aha , which means water. The modifier is either LIN ( flax ) or Line ( Maple ). So it is a watercourse on which flax or norway maple grows. The brook Leinach gave the town of Leinach its name.

geography

course

The Leinacher Bach rises in the western Maindreieck on the Marktheidenfelder Platte in the natural area 132.00 Karlstadt-Birkenfelder Kalklößplatten at an altitude of about 296  m above sea level. NN from an only intermittent water-bearing source at the northeastern foot of the 310  m high Kehl mountain in the Feldflur Steinbach ground just west of Leinacher hamlet Steinhaugshof .

It initially flows a good three hundred meters on the southwest slope of the Brangertsbuckel ( 323  m ), also called Prangertsbuckel , northwest through the fields of the end valley and then borders a small coniferous forest on its right side. About two hundred meters down the stream it turns west and stretches almost a kilometer on the vine-planted southern slope of the Eichelberg ( 347  m ) through the fields of the Roßgraben . At the Kehlberggraben the brook bends sharply to the north and runs, bordered by a sparse tree gallery, strongly straightened, through a wide valley along the wooded western slope of the Eichelberg. After about 750 meters he comes across the state road St 2310 leading from Greußenheim to Markt Zellingen , which accompanies him on his way to Zellingen at different distances, sometimes closer and further away.

The stream now flows on the western slope of the Himmelberg , the northern spur of the Eichelberg, through fields and meadows and disappears into the underground at a sports facility on the southern edge of Oberleinach , reappearing north of the sports field, now permanently water-bearing all year round. It first crosses under Elisabethenstrasse and then Friedensstrasse and then continues underground again south of Goldstrasse . It reappears on the surface east of St. Laurentius Church , then changes to the north-northwest and then passes the boundary to Unterleinach . In Unterleinach it is fed by the Floßgraben , also called Drustengraben , at the Gasse Am Floß on the left . About a hundred meters southeast of the All Saints Church he once operated a mill. It now leaves Unterleinach in a northerly direction, then runs west past the Feldmühle , then aligns its course to the north-northeast and passes under the facilities of the ICE route Hanover – Würzburg . Less than a kilometer down the stream, it used to supply the Neue Mühle with water. The stream now passes the district boundary, which is also the border between the district of Würzburg and the district of Main-Spessart , to Zellingen and, accompanied by a gallery of trees, runs through the fields and meadows of the Im Gereit corridor .

It now flows south of the Steinbühl corridor along the northwest edge of a small deciduous forest, then passes through the settlement to the north of it and then runs along the eastern edge of the Am Trieb green area at the red cross . He crosses after that of Erlabrunn coming St 2300 and, after having crossed the Billingshäuser road, northeast of Storchenmühle on the left side of the approach drawn from the southwest Gespringsbach strengthened.

The Leinacher Bach passes Zellingen and finally flows into the natural area 133.01 Zellingen-Thüngersheimer valley widening at an altitude of 161.6  m from the left into the Main flowing from the southeast .
