The Pfühlbach is a right tributary of the Neckar in Heilbronn in northern Baden-Württemberg . It is in its upper reaches topper called and passes through the wooded and traditionally used as a recreational area Köpfertal whose lakeside path Köpfer fountain of Verschönerungsverein Heilbronn created in the 19th century. After its exit from the forest, the Pfühlbach then passes the Trappensee and the Pfühlpark and is then verdolt on its way through the urban area to the confluence with the Neckar .
course
The Pfühlbach arises as a Köpferbach down on the northeast slope of the Schweinsberg in the Heilbronner Waldgewann Saubuckel . It flows his first three kilometers to the north by the tree-lined, and since 1985 as a nature reserve designated Köpfertal , passing the local Köpfer well system and a 0.4-hectare retention basin and then passes after less than two kilometers of the corridor limit, after the Heilbronn Ehrenfriedhof to its right slope. After about three kilometers it crosses under the K 9550 Heilbronn – Untergruppenbach –Donnbronn and reaches the Trappensee (0.6 ha), from which it is called Pfühlbach . Here a superficially waterless valley flows into his from the south-east, and it bends to the west. Soon it crosses the city's Pfühlpark , where it feeds another 0.5 hectare lake, then disappears into a dole at the end of the park and now continues underground, first under Schillerstrasse, then under Gartenstrasse, Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse , Berliner Platz, Turmstrasse and finally below the Heilbronn ice stadium . After a total of 6.7 km of a first north, then west through the city, the Pfühlbach flows into the Neckar from the right opposite the Heilbronn Schwaneninsel .
Catchment area
The Pfühlbach has a catchment area of 10.9 km². In the north it borders on that of the Breitenloch ditch , in the northeast and east beyond the watershed of the Galgenberg, the Weinsberger Stadtseebach drains to the northwest to the Sulm , in the southeast and south the Untergruppenbacher Gruppenbach , which runs south to the Schozach , and especially its right tributary Donnbronner Bach , compete in the South-west of the Fleiner Bucherngraben to Deinbach and on a longer stretch of the mostly verdolte Cäcilienbach directly to the Neckar .
history
In historical times the brook did not flow along its twisted section straight to the west along the route of Schillerstraße, as it does today, but made an arc about 500 m further north to over today's Pestalozzistraße in the direction of Sülmer Tor, cf. the map in the article Mönchsee . Its current northern neighboring water , the Breitenlochgraben , which arises below the Weinsberger saddle and now flows up to it on the Orthstraße – Wartbergstraße –SAFE line, must therefore have flowed to it from the right.
The Köpfertal on the upper reaches of the Pfühlbach has been one of the most intensively used for local recreation areas on the outskirts of Heilbronn since the 19th century. The bank reinforcements and the bridges in the section between the Köpferbrunnenanlage and Trappensee, which have been completely or partially preserved, date back to the beautification association in the 19th century. In the lower area of the Köpfertal, many residents had set up fish ponds and the like, and the beautification association needed 16 years to acquire the land to build the riverside path. The Köpfer-Uferweg connects the paths to the Schweinsberg tower , the Gaffenberg and the Uhlandslinde with the Trappensee and the Jägerhaussteige as well as some other traditional excursion destinations.
The reservoir was created in 1935 by the Reich Labor Service and was the largest retention basin in the city at that time. An attempt was made to settle swans on the lake, but the shady location did not allow this. The lake was then leased to a fishing club, who regularly drained the lake and cleaned it of mud. The retention basin has recently been enlarged and modernized.
In the relatively wide section of the valley between the Köpferbrunnenanlage and Trappensee, the youth camps in the Waldheim on the Gaffenberg held field games for decades and dammed the creek with improvised dams. The much narrower upper Köpfertal above the Köpferbrunnenanlage has always been more idyllic with the steep creek on moss- and fern-covered, deeply incised edges, but the fragile mosses and ferns suffered greatly from the strain of day trippers and youth camps. The intensive interventions in the Köpfertal only ended with its designation as a nature reserve.
The puddling of the lower reaches of the Pfühlbach began in January 1936 with the section from the Pfühlbrunnen to Mörikestrasse.

The longest and at the same time the highest of these two spring branches, which are not taken into account for the length, arises on the topographic map at about 331 m above sea level.
