The Nordrach , called Norderaha in 1139, then Norderahe in 1209 and Norderache around 1373 , is a 15 km long river in the western Black Forest that joins the Harmersbach to the short Erlenbach near Zell am Harmersbach in the Ortenau district in Baden-Württemberg from the right and north-northeast . Your top run is called Klausenbach .

The word Nordrach is derived from the old German Nor = rock and aha = stream and accordingly means rock stream .

geography

Source and history

The Nordrach rises as Klausenbach in the northern municipality of Nordrach in the Ortenaukreis in the Mooswald south of the Edelmannskopfes . The mündungsfernste source is a well, which is 1.2 km east of the Siedigkopf -Gipfels in Hilseckhütte to about 727  m above sea level. NN lies. From here on, the young brook quickly digs a deep, well over a kilometer long, forested Kerbtal section towards the southeast, in which the Geißschleifweg accompanies it closely. Then he runs to about 530  m above sea level. NN the almost as long northern source branch from the saw hole to. After about another kilometer it flows to about 435  m above sea level. NN add a branch from the Glasloch , next to which the K 5354 descends into the valley, which connects it with the Renchtal in the east and then follows the Nordrach down the valley almost to the mouth.

At this point the open corridor begins on the valley floor and the first houses of Nordrach-Kolonie appear. The stream is now called Nordrach . It moves southwest through a kerbsohlental, on the narrow bottom of which there are always small teeth of the community. From both sides of the Nordrach several streams of less than 2½ kilometers in length from often steep and mostly wooded valley valleys run one after the other. Especially on the left side, the tree line on the slope - if you ignore a not uncommon but nowhere wide forest strip at the bottom of the slope - up to a kilometer from the run and rises up to 300 meters above the valley floor, onto the open Many individual farmsteads are scattered across the slope in between.

After about half the length of the river, just before the village of Nordrach, it flows from the right and from the north to about 303  m above sea level. NN its longest tributary, the Ernsbächle . The valley floor widens here to a small plain and the Nordrach now moves with significantly less gradient to the south-south-west. In the Untertal part of the municipality there is a larger new building area above commercial buildings on the left slope, which is much flatter compared to the right, whose rows of settlements occupy fifty meters of altitude on it, after which the settlement in the valley becomes more sporadic again. Immediately after the last Nordracher Zinken Lindach the river occurs at about 250  m above sea level. NN into the area of ​​the small rural town of Zell am Harmersbach , where it stays on the remaining almost quarter of its course. Before the larger Zinken Neuhausen, the three quarters of a kilometer long, somewhat meandering Sägkanal branches off to the right , which flows back between its houses. At the northern edge of the settlement of Zell itself, a 1⅓ km long, rather straight commercial canal leads to the Harmersbach . On the western edge of Zell, the Nordrach finally flows into the Harmersbach from the right and northeast , a few steps after it has taken up the commercial canal. The combined river then continues under the name Erlenbach in the direction of the Nordrach and after about two kilometers reaches the Kinzig .

Catchment area

The Nordrach has a catchment area of ​​40 km². It is an approximately 14 km long tube running south-south-west, which soon after the northern tip at the Edelmannskopf in the Mooswald expanded to a good four kilometers wide and then slowly narrowed again to a little more than two kilometers before the mouth wedge. In the north and northeast, beyond the watershed, lies the Rench catchment area . A long mountain range in the southeast separates the catchment area of ​​the Nordrach from that of the Harmersbach . In the southwest and west the Reichenbach competes , in the northwest the Haigerach , both of which drain to the Kinzig .
