Confluence of the Ostrach (left) into the Danube near Hundersingen |
The Ostrach is a river in southern Baden-Wuerttemberg in the districts of Ravensburg and Sigmaringen , which flows into the Danube from the right at Hundersingen in the Herbertingen municipality after a stretching slightly to the left, altogether north-north-west of over 33 kilometers .
geography
course
The Ostrach arises immediately north of the European main watershed near Fleischwangen in the district of Ravensburg , on the official main line it has successively the upper reaches Fronhofer Bach (to Fleischwangen) and Schlierbach (until shortly before its Mühlhof Eichenmühle). In the further course it takes on some drainage canals and ditches from the Pfrunger Ried on the left, some of which extend over the apex to the Rotach , which drains beyond the watershed towards Lake Constance.
Then the Ostrach in the village of Ostrach squeezes between two closely standing moraine hills , flows through the Weithart, the Göge and the Weitried and flows into the Danube in the Hundersingen district of the Herbertingen municipality in the Sigmaringen district .
The Ostrach is 33.1 km long, 11.1 km of which are in the Ravensburg district and 22.0 km in the Sigmaringen district. Its catchment area covers about 198.5 km².
Places on the Ostrach
The Ostrach crosses or grazes on its way the places Fleischwangen , where two of its upper reaches converge, Guggenhausen , Riedhausen , Ostrach and its suburbs Laubbach , Jettkofen , Wangen , Einhart as well as Habsthal , the Quantum district of Rosna , the Hohentengener suburbs Bremen and Beizkofen , around to flow into the Danube at Hundersingen .

There has been a beaver population in Pfrunger-Burgweiler Ried since 2005 - verifiable since October 2008. In the upper area of the Ostrach, which serves the drainage function here, a few meters below the mouth of the Hornbach, one or more beavers built a dam across the stream. The dam held back thousands of cubic meters of water, whereupon the water has already overflowed its banks not only to the upper edge of the embankment, but to the great annoyance of agricultural businesses in Riedhausen and Laubbach. The Hornbach also overflowed its banks. At the end of November 2008, the dams were removed by 40 centimeters, the structure could not be removed entirely. In order to keep the beavers away from the Ostrach in the future, a wire fence with electricity was laid above the water level.
A large nature conservation project costing seven million euros aims to wet the core areas in order to restore the reed to its original state. Among other things, logs are transported to the barriers that are supposed to prevent the water from flowing out of the drainage ditches that were once created. Trench weirs have already led to visible successes in places. The project ended in 2015.
