The Ottnanger Redlbach (also Redlbach , Redl , Ottnanger Redl ) is a left tributary of the Ager in the Hausruckviertel in Upper Austria .

course

The Redlbach rises on the southern slope of the Hausruck and initially flows in a south to south-east direction through a wide valley. At Attnang it  reaches the Agertal and bends around 90 ° to the northeast. It now runs parallel to the Ager until it flows into this at Erlau in the municipality of Redlham .

The Redlbach used to flow through the town of Redlham and the town of Fisching into the Ager. Today, most of the water from the Redlbach is led into the Ager via the villages of Tuffeltsham, Einwarting and Piesing. This part of the brook used to be only the smallest brooks from Einwarting and Landertsham (the Leh) - these were deepened a bit by the farmers. In Attnang a connection to the Redlbach (north of the railway from the Attnang church to Tuffeltsham) was created.

The Stegmüllerbach used to flow into the larger Ottnang Redlbach (east of Attnang near Spitzberg) - hence the place name Redlham, which is actually no longer understandable today.

In Attnang there is now a piped connection (approx. Bäckerbrunnen, north of the railway, to the Stegmüllerbach south of the railway) - thus part of the Ottnang Redlbach flows into the Stegmüllerbach south of the railway - the common brook flows through Redlham to Fisching.

In Fisching the Redlbach (incl. Stögmüllerbach) used to flow into the Ager - at the same time, Agerwasser was taken from there for the Brunnlah, which flows through Schwanenstadt and was used for hydropower . Today the Stögmüllerbach no longer flows into the Ager, but is directed into the Brunnlah just before the Ager.

This results in the situation that 2 streams cross each other. The Brunnlah / Stögmüllerbach crosses the Leh / Redlbach by means of a steel bridge.

ecology

In the area of ​​the localities, the Redlbach is mostly straightened and provided with bank protection, in some cases the bottom is also paved. Outside the settlement area, it has a more natural course with an unobstructed bottom. Agricultural use often comes close to the stream. In sections there is wood that accompanies the banks, which mainly consists of alder , ash and willow , in the Attnang area also of poplar , maple and birch .

Surname

As with the other streams of the same name coming from the southern slope of the Hausruck or Kobernaußerwald, the name “Redl” is attributed to the reddish color of the water.
