The Liegelbach is a creek over a kilometer long in the area of ​​the municipality of Bühlerzell in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows from the left into a sawmill canal next to the Bühler .

geography

course

The Liegelbach rises at about 440  m above sea level. NHN a good half a kilometer west of the local border of Bühlerzell in the Gewann Liegel a small spring basin in a pasture next to the Talsteige Imberger Weg from the hamlet of Imberg down to Bühlerzell. At a more or less distance, the road follows him in the widening meadow valley below the step around Imberg downhill to the east and he touches the forest on the left upper slope in one section. At the edge of the village of Bühlerzell it disappears in a hollow and then mostly runs under streets, but also flows openly next to bushes on a property line for a good hundred meters long stretch along the street Streitbühl. Not far from the confluence of the Mühlweg in the Geifertshofer Straße leading over the Bühlerbrücke, it opens at about 380  m above sea level. NHN into the subsequently twisted side channel of a sawmill to the left of the Bühler, into which it flows back a good hundred meters down on the other side of the Geifertshofer Straße in the meadow floodplain of the river, which is starting again on the outskirts.

The 1.1 km long Liegelbach flows after this stretch, which has a mean slope of about 51 ‰, about 60 meters in altitude below its source.

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Liegelbach, which drains eastwards to the Bühler at its transition from the upper to the middle reaches, is located on the southeastern edge of the Limpurger Berge natural area , a sub-area of ​​the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains . It arises below the at a height of 474.3  m above sea level. NHN- lying terrain platform around Imberg, which is made up of silica sandstone ( Hassberge Formation ), in a strip of slope in the Lower Bunten Mergeln ( Steigerwald Formation ). Down the valley it runs through another strip of reed sandstone ( Stuttgart Formation ) and then flows over half of its course in the Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld Formation ), mostly and first in its estheria layers. Soon even running in a floodplain sediment band, it ends in that of the Bühler.

The boundaries of the approximately 0.5 km² catchment area extend from its western tip on the Denzelhalde near Imberg, where it is at a little over 471  m above sea level. NHN is the highest point, for a long time on two plateau projections towards the Bühler, which surround it like a pincer. Behind the left and northern watershed the Schleifseebach flows a little further downwards, behind the southern one the smaller Gunzenbach flows a little further upwards, roughly parallel to the river.

On the plateau in the west, the corridor is open and plowed. In the subsequent valley basin below small strips of forest on the upper slope, meadows and pastures dominate up to the outskirts of Bühlerzell, which, with settlement parts mostly from the second half of the 20th century, takes up a large part of the lower valley. Imberg is almost entirely on the other side of the watershed, there are no other settlement areas. The stream flows from the source to the Bühlerzeller suburb of the municipality of the same name, to the west of it the area belongs to the Geifertshofener suburb.
