The Muckbach is a less than 7 km long brook in the Main-Tauber district in the north of Baden-Württemberg , which flows from the right into the lower Brehmbach at Dittwarer Bahnhof before its confluence in Tauberbischofsheim .

geography

course

The Muckbach arises on the northern edge of the village of Heckfeld , a district of Lauda-Königshofen , at about 310  m above sea level. NN and runs in northerly directions along the L 578 via Dittwar to the Dittwarer Bahnhof, where it flows into the Brehmbach from the right in the lower reaches of the valley loop in the south .

Catchment area

The approximately 21 km² catchment area of ​​the Muckbach lies at heights between 385.7  m above sea level. NN on the hilltop Heide west of Heckfeld at its southwest corner and the mouth at its northern tip at about 193  m above sea level. NN . The catchment area of ​​the Tauber borders on the watershed in the east above the mouth of the Muckbach outflow floodwater Brehmbach , which only flows into the Oberlaudaer Bach at more important tributaries . From the south-east corner of the watershed over its south-west corner to the area of ​​the central western watershed, outside the Schüpfbach, it competes with the streams running towards it, which drains a little further up into the Tauber via the Umpfer . Behind the rest of the catchment area border in the west and northwest lies the upper and middle catchment area of ​​the Brehmbach.

Most of the area belongs to the city of Tauberbischofsheim , a smaller one around the upper reaches in the south to the city of Lauda-Königshofen and on the western edge to the municipality of Königheim , all three of which are in the Main-Tauber district . The landscape comprises a larger part of open land with mostly fields and a smaller part of forest mostly on the steep slopes to the valley cuts. Settlement is low and is concentrated in the village districts of Heckfeld von Lauda-Königshofen a little above the source of the brook and Dittwar von Tauberbischofsheim in Untertal and at the mouth of the largest tributary, the Ölgraben. In addition, there are still a few small settlement areas, the Schwarzfeld settlement of Königheim, a group of Aussiedlerhöfe, at the beginning of its longer upper course, the Reißberggraben and of Tauberbischofsheim the Lärchenrain on the brook from the Lärchenklinge, the hamlet of Steinbach to the right above this tributary, the settlement settlement Heidenkessel on the lower reaches and a few houses in the Dittwar station residential area on the estuary.

  • Pühlferstalbach , from the left and west-southwest, 0.9 km and approx. 0.5 km². It is much longer than the Muckbach to this point.
  • Stream from the Zieglersgrund , from the right and east, approx. 0.8 and approx. 1.0 km².
  • Valley ditch , from the left and west-southwest, 1.0 km and approx. 1.0 km².
  • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svgPassed the Dittwarer See (located on the right) on the run in front of the first houses of Dittwar, 0.5 ha.
  • Steiggraben , from the right and south at the beginning of Dittwar, 0.7 km and about 0.8 km².
  • Weiherbach , from the left, 0.2 km and below 0.1 km². Outflow of the Dittwarer Weiher near the Heckfelder Straße on the eastern edge of Dittwar.
  • Ölbach , from the left and northwest through Dittwar, 2.2 km and 9.3 km².
    • Reißberggraben , right and southwestern upper reaches, 3.2 km and approx. 2.6 km².
    • Road ditch , left and northwestern upper reaches, 0.7 km and approx. 1.2 km².
    • Eisgrundgraben , from the right and south-southwest in western Dittwar, 3.5 km and approx. 3. km².
  • Brook from the Lerchenklinge , from the right and southeast to the last house of Dittwar, 1.7 km and 2.0 km².
  • Jägergraben , from the right

Geology and natural spaces

The catchment area is located entirely in the subspace Umpfer-Wachbach-Riedel of the natural environment Tauberlandpark which the shell is marked. The stream and its tributaries all originate in the Upper Muschelkalk , in the deeper parts of the valley basins - at the Muckbach even from the middle reaches before Dittwar - the Middle Muschelkalk is present , below Dittwar the Lower Muschelkalk begins , into which the stream also flows.

Remains of the overlying Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ) lie on the shell limestone plateaus, especially on the southwest and eastern edge of the catchment area, in layer islands; elsewhere on the heights there are two islands of loess sediment formed from Quaternary deposits . At the middle course at the mouth of the brook from the Lärchenklinge and on the lower course around the Heidenkessel settlement , two small fault lines line from southeast to northwest to near the right bank of the stream. Another disturbance probably crosses the valley shortly afterwards.

Flood

On Corpus Christi Day , June 21, 1984, heavy rain led to a flood disaster. Heckfeld, Dittwar and the surrounding communities were affected. There was damage of around 90 million German marks .

Muckbachtal Bridge

The Muckbachtal bridge of the A 81 near Heckfeld (2017)

The A 81 federal motorway north-west of Heckfeld crosses the upper Muckbachtal over the 330 meter long Muckbachtal bridge, 40 meters above ground.

Muckbachtal cycle path

The Muckbachtal cycle path runs along large parts of the Muckbachtal. The cycle path is paved from the Dittwar train station to the TSV Dittwar sports facilities and the Dittwarer lake at the end of the village in the direction of Heckfeld. From the Dittwarer See , the cycle path runs for two kilometers on a gravel stretch at the edge of the forest. The cycle path ends about one kilometer before the Muckbachtal bridge over the A81, and the journey must be continued on a country road before the cycle path resumes about one kilometer after the motorway bridge to Heckfeld in the area of ​​the Heckfelder Gardens.

At the Dittwar train station there is a connection to the Brehmbachtalradweg and via this in turn to the Taubertalradweg in Tauberbischofsheim .

An expansion of the Muckbachtal cycle path from Dittwar in the direction of Heckfeld and Uiffingen was demanded by local politicians in 2014 and already in 2012 in the cycle path concept of the Main-Tauber district under the title Uiffingen - Heckfeld - Dittwar. Cycle path through the Muckbachtal as a connection between Ahorn / Boxberg and Tauberbischofsheim added.
