The Reichenbach is a five-kilometer-long right brook in the districts of the small town of Langenburg and especially the community of Braunsbach in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in northern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the middle Kocher in the small Braunsbacher village of Steinkirchen from the right and east .

geography

course

The small stream rises from several sources near the Braunsbach hamlet of Zottishofen on the narrow strip of high plateaus of the Hohenlohe plain between the Kocher and Jagst valleys , the easternmost of which are still on or near Langenburg. The highest and furthest from the mouth is to the east of the district road K 1042 Nesselbach – Laßbach in the small, shrubby indentation of the rural custom between fields, not far from a wind turbine on the ridge between the river valleys. From here on the water flows straight and north past Zottishofen to the west, mostly next to a dirt road. When it reaches the upper edge of the right slope of the Kocher valley, it quickly falls into the valley in the notch of the heap blade . This steep blade is soon joined by a stream of water, first the louse blade from the left and then the shorter sand dump blade from the right. The first of these two tributaries, a little shorter than the main branch, begins a little further south on the plateau, also follows dirt roads and runs through Zottishofen on the way, while the second is only a short river inflow. Even at the bottom of the ravine forest of the heap blade runs from right nor the back slightly longer Lichsenklinge to whose stream also starts on the plateau. In the meantime a flatter course of reaching Reichenbach place stone churches , the little brown Bacher passes through the village and then opens below the weir from the right and east into the boiler , its running dodging here to the left foot of the slope.

Catchment area

The 6.4 km² catchment area naturally belongs to the Kocher-Jagst Plains , is predominantly in the Eastern Kocher-Jagst Plain sub -area and most recently near the mouth in the Middle Kocher and Lower Bühlertal sub-area .

It borders in turn

The greater part of the drained area belongs to the open plateau, the smallest to the moderate slopes of the lower valley. On the relatively empty plateau, the upper courses often dry out in summer, they mostly run as straightened ditches next to field paths in an arable landscape. In the upper and middle blade and on both sides of it up to the watershed to the neighboring brooks there is dense mixed forest, after the corridor border there is grassland down to the edge of the settlement.

Tributaries

List of tributaries from the source to the mouth. Length of water, catchment area and altitude according to the corresponding layers on the LUBW online map. Other sources for the information are noted.

Origin of the Reichenbach at about 469  m above sea level. NHN approx. 1.5 km northeast of Braunsbach - Zottishofen still on the Langenburger Flurgewann Land custom on a dirt road. The water runs from beginning to end quite precisely to the west, after about a third of its course it enters the wooded tip of the heap .

  • (Stream through the Lausenklinge ), from the left and east-southeast to 376.3  m above sea level. NHN at its inlet to the Haldenklinge approx. 0.9 km west-northwest of Zottishofen, 1.9 km and approx. 1.3 km². Arises at about 468  m above sea level. NHN about 0.2 km on this side of the water reservoir between Langenburg- Nesselbach and Zottishofen on the boundary and on the Hohen Strasse. Subsequently runs through Zottishofen before entering the blade section and no longer as a ditch until after the village.
  • (Stream through the Sandhaldenklinge ), from the right and to 449.9  m above sea level. NHN , over 0.4 km and approx. 0.6 km². Arises at about 415  m above sea level. NHN approx. 1.4 km northwest of Zottishofen in its upper forest blade. Above it has an only intermittent course of another 0.7 km²., Which begins on the L 2547 from Braunsbach- Tierberg to Zottishofen.
  • (Stream through the Lichsenklinge ), from the left and southeast to 301.7  m above sea level. NHN about 1.2 km east of Braunsbach- Steinkirchen on the lower edge of the Klingenwald, 1.3 km and about 0.9 km². Arises at about 442  m above sea level. NHN about 0.7 km north-northeast of Braunsbach- Jungholzhausen near Gewann Mühl .

Mouth of the Reichenbach from the right and east to about 232  m above sea level. NHN in Steinkirchen in the middle cooker . The Reichenbach is 5.1 km long and has a catchment area of ​​6.4 km².

geology

In the southeast of the catchment area is in the range of High Street quaternary loess - sedimentary , everywhere else on the plateau mostly lower Keuper . The upper blade incisions are in the Upper Muschelkalk , in the lower valley the middle one begins roughly at the corridor boundary, the Lower Muschelkalk roughly at the local boundary , the flat valley floor of the Kocher Valley with the mouth is filled with floodplain sediments.

In Landsbrauch is fluvial rearranged Flint gravel, the short time after the flow reversal to the Rhine was banked drainage system.

Protected area

The blades at their incisions and the lower valleys, with the exception of only the village of Steinkirchen and its soft area, as well as the majority of the forest heights in the northwest and western catchment area, lie in the Kochertal nature reserve between Schwäbisch Hall and Weilersbach with side valleys , which in total comprise around a third of its area.

History

A burial mound stands on the spur of the mouth of the lichens blade . The second longest Lausenklingen upper course begins in Gewann Hohe Straße , a name that is not uncommon in the larger area, mostly on old, sometimes even prehistoric, high-altitude trails, on which the less favorable valley sections were previously avoided. Here the north-south ridge of hills meets between the two large rivers and a west-east one, on which today a county road connects the two large river valleys.
