The Lembach is a 2.6 km long stream in northeastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the upper Fischach from the right and west near Obersontheim -Herlebach in the Schwäbisch Hall district .

geography

course

The Lembach arises in the northern Limpurger Mountains in the Einkornwald about 200 meters to the right of the valley slope of the K 2599 running from Schwäbisch Hall - Hessental to Obersontheim -Herlebach from the confluence of two spring branches. The right one is more stable, it rises at about 455  m above sea level. NHN next to a paved forest path from the coal road in the west to the above-mentioned county road in the east, then follows this and takes the northwest branch at about 445  m above sea level. NHN on. A few hundred meters down the valley, it crosses the county road and then continues in the forest to the east towards the Alte Fischach district . There it flows through a little over a quarter of an hectare large reservoir, which still receives an inconsistent inflow from the left and northwest from the middle of the valley. After the pond, he crosses a well-developed forest path, changes from Haller to the district of Obersontheim's suburb of Oberfischach and steps out of the forest into an approximately 200-meter-wide meadow hollow. Its course is initially accompanied by some shrubbery in the hallway, which then thins out. It crosses under a field path from Herlebach in the south, the edge of a new housing estate in the hamlet is just over 100 meters away on the right shoulder of the slope. Then the Lembach soon flows at about 411.5  m above sea level. NHN from the right and west across from an herbaceous area on the left bank into the upper Fischach , which flows here to the south and after this tributary runs in a straightened ditch.

Catchment area

The Lembach has a catchment area of ​​around 1.9 km² in which the Lembach moves very steadily eastward , especially on the middle and lower reaches close to the southern watershed to the next Fischach tributary, Brühlbach . Its western border runs towards the Remsbach , which drains off the steep Keuperstufe on the western edge of the Limpurger Mountains in a noticeably lower position towards the Kocher ; on this watershed is also in the western Sahrlachen on the flat plateau of about 495  m above sea level. NHN highest point in the catchment area. Beyond Sahrlachen, the previous Fischach tributary Sauklingenbach and its tributary Tannenbach compete in the northwest . In the rest of the north and northeast, the Fischach itself is the closest constant body of water.

About 0.2 km² near the estuary at Herlebach in the east are in open fields, mostly meadows; the rest of the area is forested, mostly coniferous. There are no settlements on the brook itself, but one to two dozen residential buildings in the Herlebach development area around Höhäcker street are still in the catchment area near the mouth on the right valley eaves. Its corridor portion is part of the Oberfischach subdivision of Obersontheim , the forest portion of the urban area of Schwäbisch Hall .

In terms of natural space , the catchment area belongs to the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains , the forest part to their sub-area Limpurger Berge , the smaller part of the land to the sub-area Fischachbucht and edge heights .

Tributaries and lakes

Origin of the Lembach at about 445  m above sea level. NHN in the valley of the brook that opens to the east in the Schwäbisch Haller Einkornwald between the Gewannen Sahrlachen in the north and Hörle in the north. The source is about 2.4 km northwest of the center of Obersontheim -Herlebach, about 0.4 km southwest of the steep section of the K 2599 from Herlebach to Schwäbisch Hall- Hessental, a little after its entry into the forest from Herlebach and about 0.5 km east of the coal road next to a paved forest path from this to the county road. The stream flows consistently east to south-south-east.

  • Unstable source branch, from the left and northwest to about 445  m above sea level. NHN still west of the county road on the forest path mentioned, approx. 0.4 km and approx. 0.4 km². Arises up to about 465  m above sea level. NHN .
  • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svgFlows through a reservoir at about 425  m above sea level. NHN east of the district road in the Alte Fischach forest shortly before the forest exit and the transition to the Obersontheim-Oberfischacher district next to a paved forest path, about 0.3 ha.
  • Inconsistent influx, from the left and northwest in the reservoir, approx. 0.6 km and approx. 0.3 km². Arises east of the forest path Roßnagelstraße , which leads from the county road to the Bombensee , up to 440  m above sea level. NHN .

Mouth of the Lembach at 411.5  m above sea level. NN from the left and west into the Fischach about 250 meters northeast of the outskirts of Herlebach across from a swamp sedge. The stream here is 2.6 km long and has a catchment area of ​​around 1.9 km².

geology

The stream and its catchment area lie entirely in the Mittelkeuper . Its sources arise in the lower colored marls ( Steigerwald Formation ), from which it soon crosses into the Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld Formation ), in which it also flows into the Fischach. The conspicuous narrow plateau on the right above the lower reaches is caused by a dolomitized and erosion-resistant limestone layer in the gypsum keuper; Further down in the Fischach valley, such leveling occurs over a large area above the Corbula bank of the Gipskeupers.

nature

The Lembach stream and its catchment area lie close to its northern edge in the Swabian-Franconian Forest natural area and therein predominantly in the partial natural area Limpurger Berge (natural area no.108.60), the corridor on the lower reaches, on the other hand, belongs to its sub area Fischachbucht and Randhöhen (natural area no.108.61). With the exception of the Herlebach settlement area, this part is also located entirely in the Fischachtal nature reserve with side valleys and adjacent areas between Herlebach and Kottspiel , while the forest lies northeast of the K 2599 district road in the Einkorn forest .

Protected as biotopes are three parts of the oak-hornbeam forest and an ash forest on the upper reaches, the forest pond in the middle and a small pond on the flat slope in the Alte Fischach . In the open corridor, there is also a hedge on the left side of the slope of the Baumgarten spur terrace in the upward corner of the mouth of the Lembach, a ravine that climbs to this, the entire natural meadow course of the brook and a section of wet meadow surrounding it .

In Gewann Baumgarten there is an oak protected as a natural monument on the aforementioned ravine.
