The Nesselbach is a 9 km long brook in the districts of Ansbach and Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen in Middle Franconia , which runs into the Altmühlsee near Muhr am See .

Surname

The Nesselbach is mentioned in a document as Nezelbach from the time from 1190 to 1191. The name of the river is derived from the nettles that were found in abundance along the stream.

course

The stream rises at about 430  m above sea level. NN in a wetland in Gewann Burned torture of the Haundorfer Forest about 1.5 km east of the village of Biederbach in the district of Ansbach and on the western edge of the Spalter hill country . It initially flows southwest, soon emerges from the forest, crosses under the district road AN 59 from Selgenstadt to Heglau and then from the right one kilometer south-east of Biederbach takes on the significantly longer Moosach from the north-west. A little later, the Mönchberggraben flows out of the Haundorfer Forest in the east , and then the Schlegelgraben again from the right on the border with the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district .

Here are forests again close to the brook and it now moves southwards, then southwestwards in a meadow tube less than 200 meters wide between the Haundorf Forest in the east and the Mönchswald in the west through the now Haundorf district. In the already Muhr am See belonging Wehle mountain , the open Aue begins to widen from the Haundorfer forest in the northeast empties the last inflow nor the Wettelbach . Not far from this confluence is the location of the abandoned nettle mill , a saw and grinding mill that existed from the 16th century to the 1970s.

The Nesselbach then crosses under the federal highway 13 and the Würzburg – Treuchtlingen railway line in the flat Altmüh plane . After the railway bridge, the stream flows in a much wider bed between longitudinal dams in the Nesselbach feeder , initially a little further west, then it bends to the south and is crossed under by the Altmühl . After about 9.0 kilometers it flows into the Altmühlsee , which is dammed by a surrounding dam , which the Altmühl itself bypasses to the east.
