The Ramsbach is a creek less than a kilometer long in the area of ​​the municipality of Wolpertshausen in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the lower Bühler from the right and northeast below the hamlet of Unterscheffach in the municipality .

geography

course

The Ramsbach begins its course on the plateau , west of the hamlet of Reinsberg, which sinks somewhat towards the upper bend in the Bühlertal valley in a straight ditch running to the southwest next to a dirt road. This starts about 200 meters from the outskirts of Reinsberg, but usually only leads from about a hundred meters before the edge of the slope and at 410  m above sea level. NHN water. Before the terrain becomes steeper, it enters the forest on the upper slope of the river valley and then falls quickly southwest through a small blade that is up to five meters deep in the rocky ground. The forest, which only covers the steepest upper parts of the river valley slope, ends about 300 meters further. The stream now runs from a hedge-lined tree gallery between fields and meadows. A little over half a kilometer after its usual origin, it crosses under the Bühlertalstraße K 2667 and almost next to it reaches the flat meadow meadow, where it is about a kilometer down from the valley hamlet of Unterscheffach and about a hundred meters before the so-called Pfaffengumpen in the course of the river, an expanse at about 276  m above sea level. NHN flows into the lower Bühler from the right and from the northwest .

The Ramsbach only carries water intermittently. It does not have any significant inflow. On its approximately quarter-kilometer-long blade section on the wooded upper slope of the Bühlertal, it falls from around 400  m above sea level. NHN at 340  m above sea level NHN . In the following section of the slope, it continues in a scree-rich gully cut into the terrain. In total, from its usual beginning, it is about 0.7 km long and, after a run with an average bottom gradient of around 20 ‰, flows about 134 meters below this origin.

Catchment area

The Ramsbach has a catchment area of ​​about 0.4 km² and is therefore noticeably smaller than both the catchment area adjacent to the east and southeast of the next upper right tributary of the Bühler in Unterscheffach , which flows through the Heinlesklinge , as well as that of the watercourse through the Kressenklinge , which flows into the Bühler just a hundred meters down at the Pfaffengumpen below a well on the edge of the district road. The highest point is a little northeast of Reinsberg in the Gewann Höhe at about 441  m above sea level. NHN .

A good half of the catchment area lies on the meadow and field landscape of the plateau around Reinsberg. After the steepest section of the slope in the Bühlertal, along which a strip of mountain forest that is up to 200 meters wide stretches, his accompanying gallery runs downhill through the fields and meadows of the river valley slope, which are divided into terraces that are partly lined with hedges. This part belongs, as its Hangenwald about the conservation area Bühlertal between Vellberg and Geislingen with side valleys and adjacent areas to. The last short section on the lower slope on the river side of the road and through the meadow to the right of the Bühler is in the nature reserve Unteres Bühlertal .

The part of the catchment area on the Hochgebene is part of the Eastern Kocher-Jagst-Riedeln , the lower part of the Middle Kocher and Lower Bühlertal , two sub-areas of the natural area Kocher-Jagst Plains .

Their demarcation follows the geological layer boundary from the Lower Keuper , represented by the only regional layer of the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ), to the shell limestone below, which the Bühler has cut deeply. At the greatest heights of the catchment area in the north-east around Reinsberg, above the Lettenkeuper , there is loess sediment still formed from aeolian deposits in the Quaternary . The Bühlertal slope section is divided into a steeper upper slope in the erosion-resistant Upper Muschelkalk , where there is mostly forest, and a flatter one in the Middle Muschelkalk , where agriculture is mostly practiced. The fact that the flow in the brook often completely dries up is probably also a result of the local karstification of the shell limestone, which can be seen in some sinkholes a little northeast of Reinsberg and outside the catchment area .

In the catchment area, which is entirely part of the Wolpertshausen district , the only settlement area is a large part of Reinsberg that still stands above the source of the brook; other parts of this hamlet drain to the Kressenk and even more to the Heinlesklinge.
