The Rehbach is a 29 km long flowing water in Rhineland-Palatinate and a left tributary of the Rhine . It draws its water mainly from the Speyerbach , the left branch of which it is.

The brook is classified as a second order body of water . On the municipal side, the Rehbach-Speyerbach water association , which was founded in 1985 and is based in Ludwigshafen , is responsible for its support .

geography

course

The Rehbach does not have its own spring , but separates to the left at 130  m in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse on the Winzinger Wassergescheid with a third of the amount of water from the Speyerbach . Corresponding inscriptions were carved into the sandstone blocks of the water structure, which was artificially created before 1561, during renovations in 1569 and 1745. The Kurfürst-Ruprecht-Gymnasium has been located within the fork formed by Rehbach and Speyerbach since 1969 .

Rehbach between Neuhofen and Rheingönheim

After leaving the Neustadt district, the Rehbach initially flows through the western part of the Rhine Plain in an easterly and later in a northeastern direction . It moves along the north edge of the triangular alluvial fan that widens towards the east , in which Speyerbach and Rehbach have deposited sediments. The stream touches the communities of Haßloch , Böhl-Iggelheim , Schifferstadt , Limburgerhof and Neuhofen on its course through the plain .

In the east of the Ludwigshafen- Rheingönheim district , the Rehbach flows into the Upper Rhine from the left at a height of 90  m .

Inflows and outflows

Mußbach tributary

The most important left tributaries of the Rehbach are the Mußbach , which flows between the Neustadt district of the same name and Haßloch, the Landwehrgraben , which is diverted to the left in Haßloch and re-introduced in Iggelheim, the Steinbach , which flows into the Rehbach above Schifferstadt, and the Ranschgraben . Like the Rehbach itself, it emerges from the Speyerbach - in the south of Haßloch - and flows north of Limburgerhof-Rehhütte from the left into the Rehbach, after having even crossed it a few hundred meters earlier at Limburgerhof-Kohlhof from the right. The Ranschgraben runs on the original geological drainage line of the Speyerbach.

A few meters above the Mußbachmündung is from the Rehbach to the right of the rear goers trench derived. It then flows for a good 3 km at a distance of 200 to 400 m approximately parallel to the Rehbach and irrigates the northern edge of the Ordenswald . Its name indicates the type of locomotion of the crayfish found in the ditch . The Rückgängergraben flows back west of Haßloch from the right into the Rehbach.

The Floßbach runs as a cross connection from the Rehbach (outflow Schifferstadt) north to the Isenach (inlet Lambsheim) . It does not carry water constantly, its water quality is stated as "completely changed".

history

Landwehrgraben

The Rehbach was derived from the Speyerbach to the left as early as the Middle Ages in what was then the village of Winzingen , which is now a district of Neustadt.

In the area of ​​Haßloch and Iggelheim, the brook was divided into two parallel arms over a length of about 8 km. They supplied the drive water for the local mills and sawmills . On the southern arm, the actual Rehbach, three systems are still preserved. The northern arm is the Landwehrgraben, which joins Iggelheim from the left. Below Böhl-Iggelheim, the Rehbach over the Steinbach also receives the water from the 10-hectare Niederwiesenweiher , a renatured quarry pond that was created in a former gravel pit from 1973 .

In 1981, large parts of the area between Neustadt and Speyer through which Speyerbach and Rehbach flows and which are not subject to structural use, were declared the Rehbach-Speyerbach landscape protection area.
