The Ottmarsfelder Graben is a creek about three kilometers long in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district in Central Franconia . It flows west and flows north of Ellingen from the right into the Swabian Rezat . On the upper reaches of Ottmarsfeld it is also called Seiserbach .

geography

course

The brook rises as Seiserbach in the municipality of Höttingen between Fiegenstall and Ottmarsfeld in the Gewann Klinge , where it runs between fields to the west. After a good 800 meters it touches Ottmarsfeld in the south, from here it is called Ottmarsfelder Graben . A few 100 m further on, the Schloßgraben coming from Oberndorf and the Eichgraben from the right flow into a sewage treatment plant . After that, the basin widens significantly, the stream changes to the urban area of Ellingen , feeds the pile pond here and then crosses under the federal highway 2 . Opposite it flows into the golf course there, about 250 m east of the Zollmühle , from the right into the Swabian Rezat.

The mean slope of the river bed is about 21 ‰. The only place on the stream is Ottmarsfeld, which gives it its name.

Catchment area

The catchment area in the northern foreland of the southern Franconian Jura on the edge of the Central Franconian Basin covers around 5.0 km². In the northeast it borders on that of the Arbach , in the east and southeast on that of the Felchbach , both also source streams of the Swabian Rezat. The highest point is on the eastern tip at about 481  m above sea level. NN on the flat hilltop height , north of Fiegenstall and near a water reservoir. Apart from a few small forest islands, most of the catchment area is open; closed forest stands on the northern edge in pile wood and in cross lay .
