The Leinbach is a 14 km long brook in the Palatinate Forest ( Rhineland-Palatinate ) and a right tributary of the Hochspeyerbach . It belongs to the catchment area of the Speyerbach , a left tributary of the Rhine .
Surname
The name of the water originated in the Middle Ages and refers to the "linseed tree". At that time, both the Norway maple and the summer linden were called in the area , two tree species that were common on the banks of the Palatinate streams.
geography
course
The uppermost source of the Leinbach, called Haidhaldquelle , was originally located immediately east of the Palatinate main watershed and about 900 m northeast of the hamlet of Stüterhof on the upper south-west slope of the 507 m high Leiterberg . The small stream runs quickly westward down the slope into a valley basin, with short tributaries reaching it from the left. After that it flows as Stüterbächel the entire north-northeast ongoing Stüterlochtal and seeps now shortly after the passage of a fish pond in a meadow.
Therefore, today the main spring is 300 m west of Waldleiningen close to the Seewoog . The stream that arises there, always flowing in a north-easterly direction, passes the local community and then forms the border between Waldleiningen and Hochspeyer . Then he enters the district of Frankenstein . After it has crossed under the federal highway 39 , it flows into the Hochspeyerbach between Frankenstein and Weidenthal . The mountains surrounding the Leinbach valley are up to 450 m ( Harter Kopf ) high.
Tributaries
The Leinbach has only a few smaller tributaries. It is mainly fed by more or less abundant sources.
- Kleiner Haidhaldbach ( left ), 0.2 km
- (Bach vom) Mittelborner Woog ( left ), 0.3 km, rises from the Schreinerbrunnen
- Protztalbach ( right ), 0.1 km, rises from the Protztalbrunnen
- Ungertalbach ( right ), 1.8 km, rises from the Ungerbrunnen
- Finsterbach ( left ), 0.3 km, rises from the Finsterbrunnen
- Bittenbach ( right ), 1.6 km
Wooge and mills
In the 19th century, various Wooge and Klausen were created in the entire course of the Leinbach for the purpose of the drift of logs , the two Klausen, which are mentioned here for the sake of completeness, in side valleys. The six Wooge and two Klausen were used to store and release water in times of low water flow. They are listed here in the direction of flow of the Leinbach.
- The Seewoog is located on the state road 504 on the outskirts of Waldleiningen near the Leinbach spring. It was created in 1820.
- The Mittelborner Klause is located north of the Seewoog in the lower Mittelborner Valley. There the small brook Mittelborn was dammed, which has its origin in the Schreinerbrunnen and flows into the Leinbach at Seewoog. The hermitage was built in 1846 and contained 326 m³.
- The Felsentaler Woog has a well-preserved barrier structure made of sandstone walls, but has been drained for a long time. It dates from 1832/33 and had a capacity of 2980 m³.
- The Ungertaler Klause dammed a tributary to the Leinbach from the Ungertal. It was built in 1844/45 and contained 1590 m³.
- The Finstertaler Woog , also called Oberer Biedenbacher Woog , has a laterally attached climbing aid for fish .
- The Tiefenthaler Woog was also called the Middle Biedenbacher Woog .
- The Biedenbacher Woog about 2 km above the Leinbach estuary also has a laterally attached ascent aid for fish. It was built in 1838 and with a capacity of 6448 m³ (with a length of 270 m) it is the most famous dam of the Leinbach. Every summer a Trift Festival takes place on the Woogufer to illustrate the Holztrift .
- The Mühlwoog supplied the former board mill as a water reservoir , but also served the Trift. Its dam lies above the mill about 150 m before the confluence of the Leinbach and the Hochspeyerbach. At 483 m, it is the longest woog in the Leinbach, and its capacity is likely to have been almost 7000 m³. Today it is heavily silted up.
The Mittelborner Klause as well as the Felsentaler and the Tiefenthaler Woog were completely abandoned, the remaining facilities are still completely or partially filled with water.
