The Nesenbach is a tributary of the Neckar with a length of almost 13 km. The Nesenbach has cut the valley in which the Baden-Württemberg state capital Stuttgart has developed. The small stream used to cross the city from southwest to northeast, but has now been replaced along its entire length by the main collector of the same name from the Stuttgart mixed sewer system. The original creek has been renatured over a length of about one kilometer between the districts of Kaltental and Heslach , where the closed development of the core city begins. This run, called Stadtbach Nesenbach to distinguish it from the main collector , no longer feeds the Nesenbach spring, but only small local inflows. It then also flows to the main collector. Along the former course of the stream, below the city center, in the palace gardens, there are ornamental waters that are fed from the drinking water supply. Because of the associated costs, one only compensates for evaporation and infiltration.

designation

The folklorist Helmut Dölker assumes that the term "Nesenbach" is derived from the personal name Nes . This could have been derived from a family name or the name Agnes . For the first time as Nesenbach , the body of water was led in 1504. Previously, the Nesenbach was referred to as "the Bach", in parts also Vaihinger Bach , Kaltentaler Bach , in Heslach also Laisebach , towards the city center as Furtbach . Furtbachstrasse in Stuttgart-Süd and Bachstrasse in Stuttgart-Vaihingen are reminiscent of this to this day .

meaning

The Nesenbach is not particularly significant in terms of its length, its size, or its usual water flow. It rises in the district of Vaihingen and falls almost 250 m on its 12.7 km long run through its valley.

In the first quarter of the 20th century, the Nesenbach got its water from the meadows , once a wetland in the west of Vaihingen. Today it is criss-crossed by roads and the A 831 motorway and was intensively built on in the 20th century. You can hardly see anything of the meadows today; only the Honigwiesenstrasse reminds of it. The headwaters of the Nesenbach are now west of the A 831 motorway. In 2012, the Vaihingen-West green area was completed with a sports area. The Nesenbach was given a new bed here. The sparse running water, however, was led east in a tube under the highway. It runs underground through Vaihingen and on towards Kaltental.

The Nesenbach never played a decisive role in the commercial development of the city of Stuttgart, not even hampered by some devastating floods. However, it was an important supplier of drinking water for centuries. But with every new spring on its upper course, the Nesenbach itself carried less and less water; The millers therefore lacked the drive for their water wheels. It is thanks to your complaint, among other things, that in 1566 the Pfaffensee with its outflow Christophstollen into the Heidenklinge was created. The creation of the lakes on the Katzenbach and Steinbach in 1812, the Bärensee and the Neuer See (1833) in the source area of ​​the Glems ensured more inflow of usable water into the Nesenbach.

Presumably, the protective effect of this narrow valley is the reason why the residential and later large city was able to develop despite the generally unfavorable topography.

The use of the Nesenbach for the population was varied: It supplied the water for washing, cleaning, watering, watering and washing the cattle, for many manual activities, for washing away the rubbish and of course also for the fire-fighting water .

The Nesenbach always caused considerable flood damage when the masses of water poured down from the steep slopes into the valley during heavy thunderstorms. Within a few minutes, the normal water flow could swell from 20 to 100 l / s to 60 to 100 m³ / s, i.e. up to a thousand times.

Archaeological excavations from 2008 in the former Württemberg wine cellar of the old castle indicate that the outer protective wall of the predecessor structure collapsed during a flood due to undercutting. During the reconstruction, the new walls were rotated 45 degrees so that they were now parallel to the course of the stream.

As the Nesenbach became more and more polluted over time, it was increasingly arched and completely overturned. Today it is the most important main collector in the Stuttgart sewer network and serves as a sewage and rain sewer for the entire southern urban area. It no longer flows into the Neckar at Berg , but is fed to the Mühlhausen sewage treatment plant . The Nesenbach flows as a canal under the Breuninger department store on Stuttgart's market square . Between the two sub-buildings, the central building and the high-rise building , you have to pass under it using two escalators in the basement. Up until the 1980s, two aquariums were installed here.

Nesenbach Viaducts

The Nesenbach Canal also passes under the Carl Zeiss Planetarium in Stuttgart, a few meters from the pit for the projector.

Stuttgart on the Neckar

The city of Stuttgart, especially if you consider its slow development from the “Stutengarten”, is by no means (directly) on the Neckar , but on the Nesenbach. On the Neckar was and is Bad Cannstatt , which for centuries played a similar or at first more important role than the slowly developing Württemberg residence. Even today, both sides of the Neckar belong to the Bad Cannstatt district , the right with the old town of Cannstatt and the left with the area around the Wilhelma . Stuttgart-Berg then joins up the Neckar .

bridges

Two remarkable viaducts span the Nesenbach valley between Vaihingen and Kaltental : the Vaihingen bypass ( north-south road ) and the Gäubahn bridge .

Nesenbach culvert

In 2016, a culvert was built for the Nesenbach to cross under the main station, which is currently under construction with Stuttgart 21 , which leads the main collector under the new station gully. The construction of the Nesenbach culvert is an essential prerequisite for the realization of this project.

Initially, the construction lot was to be awarded by May 12, 2010 and completion by mid-2014. However, no company could be found for the (underground) mining construction under compressed air that was still planned at the time .

The contract was then awarded in mid-March 2012, together with the shell construction of the underground station, to a bidding consortium led by the Stuttgart construction company Züblin. The order has a volume of 323 million euros. The main measures began on June 8, 2015, after the Federal Railway Authority had approved a modified construction concept in November 2014 with an open construction method and a shortened length.

The current plans envisage execution in part together with the renovation work on the Staatsgalerie tram stop . Due to the now open construction, the light rail traffic between this stop and the main train station has been interrupted for an expected two years since December 10, 2017.

In the course of the construction, it is planned to feed 20 liters of water per second from the Stadtbach in Kaltental through separate pipes within the main collector to the Lower Castle Garden. The water should serve to improve the water quality of the Eckensee. From the lower castle garden, the Nesenbach should then flow back to the Neckar with a discharge of 15 to 20 l / s.
