List of the tributaries of the Altmühl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Location of the Altmühl between Main and Danube

overview

The Altmühl has a length of 227 km and a catchment area of ​​3258 km². It is divided into two very different parts.

On the upper reaches from the source to about Treuchtlingen , the Altmühl runs in a rather narrow catchment area to the southeast to the edge of the Franconian Alb . The watershed to the right of the Wörnitz , which drains into the Danube above the Altmühl , is usually further away, which is why the larger tributaries come from the right, the left runs long before the Franconian Rezat , which runs roughly parallel , before the smaller Swabian near Treuchtlingen Rezat rises close to the Altmühllauf, which makes its more important Franconian namesake cousin through the confluence of the Rednitz , which drains over the Regnitz and then the Main to the Rhine .

When entering the Franconian Jura, the Altmühl orientates itself to the east, but with its meandering valley changes direction several times. The river, which previously often ran alongside side ditches and old loops, now experiences less inflow, which moreover often comes from karst springs. Its longest tributaries also flow into this lower section of its course, namely the Schwarzach , and then also the Sulz , which has since been fragmented through the use of its valley and water for the Main-Danube Canal and its predecessor, after which the one that represents it today Canal itself and finally the White Laber , all left tributaries, the great length and catchment area of ​​which reflects the much more distant position of the left watershed from the Rhenish system in this area.

Today the Altmühl flows into the bed of the Main-Danube Canal and runs its last 35 km in it to the mouth in Kelheim . The water running in it is actively pumped up for operation and a noticeable part is also carried over into the main system, so that the discharge conditions here are no longer very natural. In the upper reaches, too, water is transferred to the Main by damming the floods in the artificially created Altmühlsee near Gunzenhausen . All in all, the Altmühl now drains artificially to a not inconsiderable extent to the Main.

The 12 longest tributaries, over 12.5 km in length, from source to mouth are:

  • the right Kreuthbach with 15.1 km and 57.4 km², it flows between Colmberg and Leutershausen
  • the right Hagenbach with 14.4 km and 24.8 km², it flows out shortly before Leutershausen
  • the right Great Aurachbach , also called Great Aurach, with 13.8 km and 31.7 km², it flows between Leutershausen and Herrieden
  • the right Wieseth with 31.8 km and 127.3 km², it flows into Ornbau and is the largest upstream tributary
  • the right Wurmbach with 12.9 km and 43.5 km², it flows into Gunzenhausen .

Then the section begins in the Franconian Alb.

  • the right Möhrenbach with 19.1 km and 127.8 km², it flows into Treuchtlingen
  • the left Treuchtlinger Schambach with 14.2 km and 98.0 km², one of three to four Altmühl tributaries of this name
  • the right Gailach with 21.7 km and 78.7 km², it flows into Mörnsheim
  • the left Schwarzach with 52.9 km and 510.5 km², it flows into Kinding and is the largest Altmühl tributary
  • the Main-Danube Canal approaching from the left has a length of 34.5 km calculated from the apex position above and a catchment area of ​​226.1 km²
  • the left White Laber with 44.7 km and 356.7 km², it flows out at the very beginning of the canal section of the lower Altmühl near Dietfurt an der Altmühl
  • the right Riedenburger Schambach with 16.3 km and 138.8 km² flows into Riedenburg .

Table of the tributaries of the Altmühl

With stationing, i.e. the flow stretch from the Altmühl estuary up to the respective tributary, the official water body code (GKZ), the name of the tributary, the mouth side, the length of the inflow and the size of its catchment area, the mouth and the mouth height as well as the source location and the Source height.

  • In the case of some tributaries that flow indirectly via less significant floodplain ditches, these brooks were (also) named and the stationing of the Altmühl on the tributary to the tributary was overshadowed. Where and how often the stationing could not be ascertained from the official data, an interpolation was made between the stationed inflow points above and below using a polygon on the river. Because of the strong meander run and many, sometimes even multiple side runs, the stationing is noticeably flawed, but reflects the order of the inflow.
  • At the GKZ, a separator has been inserted after the prefix 138 common to all of its tributaries, which is the GKZ of the Altmühl itself, for better readability. If no GKZ was available, there is a question mark after the prefix that is safe according to the GKZ structure rule.
  • Parenthesized names for tributaries are not found proper names, but makeshift names.
  • Most of the secondary runs are not listed, nor are the outlets. However, the latter are listed in the detailed list.
  • The tributaries often include sections with different names, especially upper reaches, which are usually not listed here. In case of doubt, the longest upper course was usually chosen.
  • Due to the very flat course of the river and insufficiently fine contour lines in some places, the heights can only be ascertained very roughly.
  • The catchment areas in the area of ​​the Frankenalb karst area - i.e. from about the Möhrenbach - are not necessarily representative for the water flow. Infiltration can weaken the streams, strong springs emerge elsewhere. See the detailed list… .

List of the tributaries and RiverIcon-SmallLake.svglakes of the Altmühl from the source to the mouth as well as the more important named dry valleys in the Franconian Jura .
Mill canals are usually not listed, nor are the numerous small-scale river divisions and oxbow lakes from the middle reaches at the latest, and many of the nameless drainage ditches, which mostly run without an open inflow from the slopes in the wide and flat floodplain next to the river, are also missing. The remaining sections of the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal next to the lower section of the Main-Danube Canal are also not mentioned . On the other hand, the large branches, such as the Altmühl feeder, were mentioned .
Name usually according to the inscriptions on the BayernAtlas, length, lake area, catchment area if possible according to the directory of brook and river areas in Bavaria , otherwise usually measured on the BayernAtlas. The catchment areas are to be understood above ground - especially with the waters, dry valleys and spring runoffs of the karstified Franconian Alb. Heights are usually based on the contour map. Other sources for the information are noted.
