geography

course

source

The Marienbach rises on the western edge of the Schweinfurt Rhön (Hesselbacher Waldland) at an altitude of 323  m above sea level. NHN of the Marienbach spring about 700 m north of Hambach on the southwest edge of the Waldgewann Bauholz . An only intermittent source stream rises a good one and a half kilometers north of the Marienbach source at an altitude of 370  m above sea level. NHN northeast of the Dittelbrunn district of Holzhausen .

Upper course in Dittelbrunn

The stream initially flows southwards through an agricultural zone , accompanied by the district road SW 8, and then reaches the northern edge of Hambach, which it passes through underground. It then runs along the wooded western slope of the Geißberg ( 305  m above sea level ) and is fed by the Lauerbach to the west of the Haardtberg ( 334  m above sea level ) on its left . The brook now crosses the piped Dittelbrunn again and is strengthened north of Eselshöhe on the northern edge of Schweinfurt on its right by the stone ditch.

Lower course in Schweinfurt

Reichsstadt Schweinfurt by Matthäus Merian, Frankfurt a. M. 1656. On the right the lower reaches of the Marienbach

The Marienbach now reaches Schweinfurt and forms the border between the districts of Haardt in the east and Eselshöhe to the west, where the Zellergrundbach finally flows into it from the left . Then the Marienbach marks the border between the eastern part of the town Hochfeld / Steinberg and the northern part of the town to the west . After that, the brook forms the border between Kiliansberg in the east and the old town to the west . The Marienbach finally flows between the old town district of Zurich and the Schweinfurt Stadt train station to the east at an altitude of 208  m above sea level. NHN at Main KM 332.75 from the right into the Main approaching from the east-northeast. Immediately to the east of the estuary is the land belonging to the Schweinfurt ports, with landing stages for cargo ships and river cruise ships . Immediately to the west of the estuary is a historic main bastion , which is now the Schweinfurt city beach . The Böckleinsinsel is located opposite the estuary in the Main .

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Marienbach lies completely in the district of Schweinfurt and the independent city of Schweinfurt. It extends in a wedge shape, with the base in the north of the Schweinfurt Rhön (Hesselbacher Waldland) and with the tip in the south, at the confluence with the Main.

Tributaries

  • Lauerbach ( left ), approx. 3.0 km (constant) to approx. 6.6 km (unstable)
  • Steingraben ( right ), approx. 2.4 km
  • Zellergrundbach ( left ), approx. 5.4 km, with its left upper course, the Weipoltshausener Dorfgraben, even approx. 9.7 km

criticism

The piping of the Marienbach within Dittelbrunn in the 1970s was criticized by the public at that time because of its loss to the appearance of the town. The accusation of nepotism was also raised, as the Dittelbrunn engineering office commissioned with planning the project was close to the municipal administration.
