The Nesselbach is a creek in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg about six kilometers long, which flows into the middle Bühler from the right between Bühlertann and Obersontheim . Its left upper course is almost the same length as the Schenkenbach .
geography
Source and history
The Nesselbach rises in the eastern part of the Hahnenberg forest area , around 1 km northeast of Markertshofen and around the same distance west of Brunzenberg, both hamlets of the Frankenhardt community . For its first nearly kilometer, the stream flows in a steadily deepening forest gorge in a south-south-west direction to a valley spider, from where it runs permanently in the open. Here it takes up some sloping streams from the Hahnenberg , which curves around the valley spider to the north, and turns south. After a long half a kilometer, it reaches the middle of the hamlet of Markertshofen, where the L 1066 crosses it in another valley spider.
A kilometer further to the south it is reached from the left by its almost equally long Schenkenbach tributary , which arises between the Birkhof and Vorderuhlberg (both also to Frankenhardt) and joins in a westerly direction. The combined stream then continues in a west-southwest direction and already a quarter of a kilometer down the valley from the left takes on the Milan stream .
This rushes in a west-north-westerly direction through a narrow valley from the outskirts of Frankenhardt- Hinteruhlberg . After the mountain forest areas of Dörnich in the south and Ebersberg in the north have narrowed the Nesselbachaue briefly to a width of only about 300 m, the forest to the right of the brook then recedes about 1.5 km from the brook, on the left a little over 0.5 km to the foot of the slope Buchenschnabs ,
From here, a series of shorter bodies of water flow one after the other from the Lindich corridor in front of this corridor . Meanwhile , the Birkelbach , its 2.8 km longest tributary, reaches it from the right opposite , in the area of the damp Schwarze Lache lowland . In a wide basin and in a straightened course since at least the inflow of the Schenkenbach , it now runs between a Aussiedlerhof standing on its flat valley slope first to the right and then to the left and then reaches the dirt road bridge of the Tiefen Weg , from where its character changes completely. This is where a section with small, winding meadow meanders begins. And so far it has only been accompanied by very young and low bushes on the straightened section on the bank, old alders now line its bank, the rhizomes of which visibly cause its winding course. From about two hundred meters before the mouth it runs as a natural dam river on the right a little above the deepest of the trough, through which the water leaving the stream bed rushes over a shorter route to the Bühler when it is high . Opposite a reforested impact slope, it finally flows into the Bühler from the right and almost vertically about 6.0 km below its source.
Catchment area
The Nesselbach has a catchment area of 12.5 km². It has roughly the shape of a triangle, the longest side of which connects its mouth at the southwest corner with the southeast corner near a district road triangle near Vorderuhlberg. The third corner lies in the north in the area of the plateau of the Geschäufelte Marsh near the Frankenhardt village of Spaichbühl.
On its northeast side between Spaichbühl in the north and Vorderuhlberg in the southeast borders the catchment area of the Speltach and its tributaries, on a small section afterwards on the plateau between Vorder- and Hinteruhlberg in the south the Blinde Rot competes , everywhere else the Bühler tributaries or the drainage beyond the watershed Bühler itself. Just west of the plateau near Hinteruhlberg, the border runs for a long time to the catchment area of the Bühlertanner Bühler tributary Dammbach on the northern edge of a ridge that stretches from the Vetterhöfen to Bühlertann, and then bends before its western drop to the mouth. From there, the border climbs northeast up the Bühlerhang, then leads east around the opencast mine on the former Obersontheimer Heerberg and then follows the Birkelbach uphill to the west at a distance of less than 0.3 km . In this section, beyond the watershed, the short waters of Speckbach and then Hambach zur Bühler drain . On the remainder of the border, which closes after crossing the Hahnenberg plateau on the Geschäufelte Marsh , the precipitation flows beyond the watershed in the northwest via its tributary Lanzenbach to the Bühler.

Localities
The hamlet of Markertshofen is the only village on the banks of the Nesselbach or one of its tributaries. The also Frankenhardt village Hinteruhlberg is in the south just in the catchment area, apart from these, its settlement is limited to the Bühlertanner single house Himmelreich and two Obersontheimer Aussiedlerhöfe. Most of the creek and the catchment area lie in the territory of the Frankenhardt community, a smaller part belongs to Obersontheim, the border runs in the north on or on the ridge that separates the upper Nesselbach and Birkelbachtal, and in the south along the eastern one upper slope edge of the Milanobach valley. A significantly smaller part of the catchment area belongs to Bühlertann, it lies on the southern edge and extends for less than a kilometer in front of the mouth from the left to the lower reaches.
geology
The course of the Nesselbach lies entirely in the Keuper . It rises at the border between the Upper Bunter Mergeln and the Kieselsandstein and runs through the forest ravine in quick succession through Kieselsandstein, Untere Bunte Mergel and reed sandstone , in order to reach the Gipskeuper in the valley spider north of Markertshofen , in which it runs as far as the mouth of the Birkelbach remains at the Schwarzer Lache, the remaining stretch to the mouth belongs to the Unterkeuper . The larger tributaries Schenkenbach and Birkelbach arise on slopes in the Untere Bunter Mergeln, the community stream in the reed sandstone, the tributaries of the lower reaches mostly in the Gipskeuper.
The upper reaches of the Nesselbach and Birkelbach follow the extensive tectonic basin line of the east-north-east oriented Neckar-Jagst furrow , the isolated occurrence of the Upper Bunter Merkel at the Nesselbach spring is also explained by this tectonic low elevation; Apart from this, the highest layer in the catchment area is the silica sandstone. The middle to lower Birkelbach runs roughly on the line of the south-east moving Vellberger Fault.
South of the Vorderen Schenkensee there are two sinkholes next to each other in Gipskeuper, one of which was recently (as of 2010) filled in by excavation from the lake.
In the catchment area, gypsum mining took place in some places, to the greatest extent on the Heerberg, over the ridge of which the watershed ran about one kilometer northeast of and parallel to the lower reaches. In the meantime, the mountain has been cleared and the opencast mine on base gypsum has almost been discontinued, the remaining pit now serves primarily as a landfill. To the east of Markertshofen, there were quarries in the reed sandstone that had long ceased to exist. On the little forest road that leads through the murderer blade, there is a small abandoned reed sand quarry in which resedimentation breccia is exposed.
Landscape image
Below their source blades, which are mostly located in the hillside forest, the Nesselbach and its larger tributaries flow in wide, flat, often moist hollows in open fields in which the grassland dominates. The fields are often on higher terraces above the valley basins. To the east of Markertshofen are the reed sandstone plateaus of Helmesberg and Krautäcker unterm Pflug, to the west on the ridge that separates the upper Nesselbach valley from the Birkelbachtal, the level is built, a leveled area on the Corbula bank of the Gipskeuper. In the Obersontheim district, where the layers above the Gipskeuper are rare and even the upper Gipskeuper has mostly been cleared, the small platform-like high elevation of the Lindich between the stream and the slope forest of the Buchenschnabs is striking .
Below the mouth of the Birkelbach, a trough around the course of the Nesselbach forms more clearly, which becomes a little narrower below the bridge of the Tiefen Weg .
Sights and buildings
In the south of the rear Schenkensee there is a Wurst-like peninsula, separated from the foot of the slope by a now dry ditch. It used to be a hunting lodge, today a wooden forest hut.
