The Rötenbach is a creek in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg of about 6.0 km in length, which flows into the Fichtenberger Rot from the left and north at Schwäbisch Hall- Wielandsweiler . Its upper reaches is Dorlesbach be underflow from the inflow of sometimes Hülbenbach mentioned Hilbenbachs is sometimes named after this.

geography

Source and history

The Rötenbach rises under the name Dorlesbach in the flat meadow basin of the Flurgewanns Klausensee at about 475  m above sea level. NN about 0.4 km west of Mainhardt -Maibach and flows after 0.3 km at its northern tip into the approximately 1.0 ha large Egelsee . Almost at the same point, an approximately equally long, temporary right-hand inlet flows out of the Gewann Einschlag . The Dorlesbach leaves the lake, over whose embankment the Ziegelbronner Straße (here the old route of the B 14) leads south and then immediately, a few hundred meters west of Mainhardt-Bubenorbis, crosses today's B 14 . Then it begins to dig a valley that is immediately lined with trees and takes in a tributary from the right, which arises about 0.4 km further to the northwest on the edge of a forest island to the Langer Marsh corridor . Immediately afterwards, a half as long inflow flows from the left from the direction of the center of Bubenorbis, whereupon it flows through another 0.6 hectare reservoir.

The Rötenbach now goes in a left curve to the south-southeast, a course that it will hold for the majority of its remaining course; In this curve, on the right, a little above the valley floor, there is another 0.2 hectare pond, which is fed by the upper slope. The Waldgewann Finstere Falls is now on his right , after a short slope meadow on this side, the Waldgewann Dillesumpf , which is also on the right, extends back to the bank, where the Bubenorbiser Mühlstraße opens up the village's sewage treatment plant on the creek down from the opposite slope . This follows down the valley and to the right of the stream is a strikingly elongated pond of 0.1 hectares that it feeds , then flows from the right from the Dilles swamp of the 1.8 km long Schelmenbach , which arises in a meadow at the abandoned Hüttener Pumphof here 1.4 km long Dorlesbach to Rötenbach . From this Schelmenbach goes off a left branch a good 200 m before its mouth, which feeds the above-mentioned elongated pond from the valley-facing side, a few steps before the confluence the Schelmenbach then starts the pond drainage. Opposite the tributary of the Schelmenbach flows a small hillside brook about 0.2 km in length, the mouth is immediately followed in the valley by a small pond of less than 0.1 ha.

The next tributary is the Aschenhüttebach , which starts on the right plateau at the Hüttener sewage treatment plant, empties after 0.8 km and previously runs through a small blade in the Mühlwald forest . From the left, the 0.8 km long Rötelbergbach joins the brook, which is the outflow of a tiny pond in the Heidelberg Forest . A forest road runs through its blade to the left into the Rötenbach valley, which then follows the Rötenbach halfway up the slope, finally called the Ölkuchenstraße . From the inflow of the Rötelbergbach to the confluence of the Rötenbach and the Hilbenbach almost 2 km further in the southwest, the forest covers the Rötelberg, which is to the left of the Rötenbach valley, up to the uppermost layers, while on the right on the Hüttener side of the valley the hillside forest up to a plateau adjoins in open hallway; The 0.6 km long Rötenbach tributary Dachsklingenbach rises at this edge of the forest .

A few hundred meters after its mouth, the Rötenbach valley widens and the brook enters the corridor on flat ground, crosses under the Rottalsträßle (K 2669 Bibersfeld – Wielandsweiler), turns around the Röthof to the right in the direction of flow of the wider Muldental Northeast approaching, with 2.3 km longest tributary Hilbenbach and takes this on from the left. This is followed by the Rötenbach , sometimes also called Hilbenbach , the Rottalsträßle on the left for more than a kilometer in a meandering meadow. It is first spanned by the bridge of the branching Steigenstraße K 2589 Wielandsweiler – Sittenhardt, then crossed by the L 1050 running through Wielandsweiler and then joins the southern edge of the hamlet after 6.0 km of running and at 378.6  m above sea level. NN , from the left into the Fichtenberger Rot , which bends here in its direction of flow to the south.

Catchment area

The Rötenbach has a catchment area of ​​11.8 km². Its northwest tip is about 0.6 km northwest of the Egelsee in the southern Strutwald , the border runs from there east to Mainhardt -Maibach, between the southern part of the settlement Obermaibach and the rest of the hamlet it almost reaches the village road. The catchment area of ​​the Ohrn tributary Brunnenklingenbach lies to the north here . Then the watershed turns to the southeast to the Maibach water tower - on this part a stream competes across the river through the Sandklinge to the Ohrn - and reaches the B 14 at the eastern edge of Mainhardt-Bubenorbis on a conspicuous bump in the road; Beyond here lies the catchment area of the turn to Unterohrn current sharpness blades Bach .

From the main road, the catchment area boundary bends a little further east at the edge of the forest to the south into the Spitalwäldle and then runs eastwards from this to the area of ​​the Waldgewann Rücksteige . Up to this point, the Ohrn itself or its right source branch competes with the pine blade to the north . To the east of the return path , where the watershed bends to the south, the Mainhardt forest descends to the rose garden in the Comburger Halde . From here on beyond the large catchment area of ​​the beaver . The watershed runs from the Rücksteige south to Waldgewann Schlupf , then south-east to the low "pass" of the K 2569 Bibersfeld – Wielandsweiler from the Hilbenbachtal in the direction of Rosengarten . Beyond that, smaller slope brooks flow partly ( Brunnenwiesenbach ) over the Starkholzbacher See into the Himmelreichsbach , partly ( Binsenbach ) directly into it, which then flows into the Bibers .

After crossing the K 2569, the watershed roughly follows the Steigenstraße K 2589 to Sittenhardt to the south of the plateau around this village. On this piece the beaver tributaries Einzbach and Sülzbach compete in the east . Then the catchment area border runs east of Sittenhardt over the plateau to the Hartäcker hill , the area beyond drains to the upper Sanzenbach , again a Bibers tributary. On the Hartäckern the watershed bends in a westerly direction and then runs on the plateau south past Sittenhardt, through the Birkenhäu straight down to the forest slope into the Rot valley to the mouth of the Rötenbach in Wielandsweiler.

All adjoining catchment areas up to the mouth of the river drain through the Rot , the Söllbach itself initially competes , then its right tributary Tiersbach , and a short stream through the Eselsklinge already in the area of ​​the Rottalhang .

From the confluence with the Rot near Wielandsweiler the watershed runs up the ridge of the Winkelberg to the plateau around Hütten, here only the Rot itself competes on the left . Just in the hillside forest in front of the Hüttener Wiesengewann Platte , the catchment area of ​​the Moosbach joins to the left , initially competing a meadow channel through the slab , which reaches it via its tributary Krebsbächle . Then the watershed stretches for a long time in a north-westerly direction, crossing the village of Hütten, then roughly following the line of the L 1050 Hütten-Stock to almost the water tower at Stock. Otherworldly competitors here are initially the Hüttener Krebsbächle , then the Moosbach itself at the top .

The western tip of the entire Rötenbach catchment area lies at the water tower, from here all the streams on the other side of the watershed to the Brettach drain . The border initially stretches east to Schelmenweg in the northern area of ​​the Dillesumpf forest and then follows this forest path north to the B14. On the other side, Stockbach , Aschenhüttenbach (over the Krätebach ) and Krätebach itself flow to the Brettach . From the B 14, the watershed continues in a northerly direction over the Langer Sumpf corridor to the Strutwald , where it again reaches its north-western tip. On this piece, on the other side of the Brettach itself, its tributary Strutbach compete .

The catchment area is divided by the large valleys of the Rötenbach and the Hilbenbach, with the Hilbenbachtal and the lower Rötenbachtal forming the main axis for settlement and traffic. The catchment area is divided into the plateaus on both sides of the upper and middle Rötenbachtal, into the valley axis itself and into the plateau around Sittenhardt south of this axis.

To the east of the upper Rötenbachtal lie in the catchment area (Upper) Maibach and Bubenorbis, both of which belong to the Bubenorbis district of the municipality of Mainhardt . To the west of the upper Rötenbachtal lies the northeast half of Hütten, on the district of Mainhardt of the same name, and the residential area Aschenhütte , on the Bubenorbis district. The valley itself is uninhabited here. At the top of the Hilbenbachtal are the Steigenhaus on the left slope, the Hilbenhof in the floodplain of the middle Hilbenbach, and the Rötenhof at the confluence of the Rötenbach and Hilbenbach. The Winterhalde is on the slope opposite and Wielandsweiler on both sides of the lowest Rötenbach and at its mouth, all of these belong to the Bibersfeld district of the city of Schwäbisch Hall . Sittenhardt is located on the plateau south of the valley axis, also on the Beaversfeld district.

About half of the catchment area is forested, its forested parts are mainly on the valley slopes and sometimes extend further from their upper edges over the adjoining plateaus.

geology

The Rötenbach runs everywhere in the Keuper . It rises on the Stubensandstein -Hochfläche to boys Orbis and reached after passing under the B 14, the Upper Colorful marl , at his Südsüdostwendung west of the boys Orbiser development area the pebbly sandstone , approximately at the inlet of the rogue Bach the Lower Bunte Mergel , a little later on the inflow of Rötelbergbaches the Schilfsandstein . From the mouth of the Dachsklingenbach to its mouth, it runs in the Gipskeuper ( grave field formation ). The part of the hillside settlement of the Rötenhof stands on a small mountain tongue on reed sandstone, which here runs as a narrow band along the slope and which nowhere in the catchment area does not form particularly wide planarization areas. In the lower valley after the tributary of the Hilbenbach brook, larger clods have slipped on both sides of the slopes.

The Hilbenbach runs as a whole in the Gipskeuper, some of its tributaries, however, begin higher up in the sequence of layers, partly already in the silica sandstone. Its floodplain sediment zone is noticeably wider than that of the longer upper Rötenbach. In the upper Hilbenbachtal, tributaries have piled up cones.

The plateaus to the west and east of the upper Rötenbach (up to the Hilbenbach estuary) are located in their northwestern parts in the Stubensandstein, in their southeastern in the silica sandstone, the transition is morphologically visible east of Bubenorbis at a step in the course of the B 14. The plateau around Sittenhardt south of the Hilbenbach reaches a height of around 20 m higher in the Hartäckern ( 512.5  m above sea level ) than the surroundings of the upper Rötenbach , but still nowhere does the Stubensandstein reach.

Protected areas

The Rötenbachaue and parts of the valley slopes from below the Egelsee as well as the wide, open floodplain of the Hilbenbach are part of a landscape protection area that includes the valleys of the Fichtenberger Rot and the Upper Murr as well as several of their tributaries. Only the settlement areas of Rötenhof and the village of Wielandsweiler are left out here. The landscape protection area is part of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park, which encompasses the entire Greater Region . The running water and riparian zones of Rötenbach and Hilbenbach are also part of the Natura 2000 area “Kochertal Abtsgmünd - Gaildorf and Rottal”.

A wet meadow west of Maibach close to the northern edge of the catchment area is a natural monument, as is the Egelsee run-off zone and two wetlands on the southern slope of the Rötelberg opposite the Rötenhof; at Klausensee on the uppermost Dorlesbach west of Maibach a field hedge and in the Hilbenbachtal above the source of the brook next to the Steigenstraße to Sittenhardt a structure-rich forest edge. The last two natural monuments mentioned are relics of the former Haller Landheeg . In Sittenhardt there is a small group of linden trees, which is a single natural monument, a little south of the village in a small fork in the road is a pedunculate oak that is also classified in this way.

Many protected biotopes line the Rötenbachlauf and its tributaries and lakes: Apart from some of the areas already mentioned, these are a silting zone on the northern edge of the Egelsee , often source areas, wet meadows, swamps, water vegetation and flood zones , so the wet biotopes that dominate below take up large floodplains especially along the Hilbenbach and the lower Rötenbach north of Wielandsweiler.
