The Reichenbach is a brook in the municipality of Oppenweiler in the Rems-Murr district in northern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the middle Murr from the left after a roughly 2 km long run in an approximately west-northwest direction near the hamlet of Reichenbach an der Murr of the municipality .
geography
course
The Reichenbach arises in the Oppenweiler Waldgewann Schürhau , which lies on the western slope of the Murrhardt Forest to the already wide Murrtal, which soon emerges from the mountainous landscape of the Swabian-Franconian Forest into the Backnang Basin. It has two source brooks of about the same length, of which the more catchment area and called Reichenbach run continuously at about 408 m above sea level. NN about 1.4 km west-southwest of the Höhenweiler Ittenberg the neighboring community Sulzbach an der Murr is emerging just beyond the municipality boundary to Oppenweiler. Its valley basin in the forest, on the contour of which the municipal boundary runs, starts much closer to Ittenberg. This source stream flows roughly northwest and soon in a ridge , it unites after a good 0.7 km and at a little under 310.3 m above sea level. NN with the right, westward running source stream.
The so strengthened Reichenbach flows further northwest to the end of its blade at less than 290 m above sea level. NN , where the forest stops. From here on, he walks along the remaining half of his course, accompanied by trees, westwards, initially with small changes of direction. Shortly before the small Reichenbach on the Murr , a short stream flows in from the left, which is fed by a clump of forest blades in the Gereut at the foot of the Köpfles . He passes the first houses of Reichenbach in the south, then he crosses under the Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental-Waiblingen railway line on the edge of the Murrtalaue and runs straight through the rest of the hamlet. His ditch then crosses the left floodplain in a green strip between two fields and finally flows, opposite the return of the Mühlkanal of the Rüflensmühle on the other side of the river and Reichenberg Castle on a valley spur above it, at about 257 m above sea level. NN from the left into the middle Murr .
From the onset of its constant run in the left swelling blade to about 408 m above sea level. NN 2.0 km long Reichenbach flows after a run with a mean bottom slope of about 75 ‰ around 151 meters of altitude below this source.
Catchment area
The catchment area of Reichenbach, which drains around 1.5 km², is located in the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park and on the western edge of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains natural area , which borders the neighboring Neckar basin and, more precisely, the Outer Backnang Bay . The predominant upper part of the catchment area belongs to the sub-area Murrhardter Wald , the lower part, beginning around the tree line, to the sub-area Murrtal . The highest point is on the eastern border in the field west of Ittenberg, where on a flat knoll the height is 475 m above sea level. Exceeds sea level . Behind this morphologically inconspicuous and short eastern border, the Ittenberger Bach drains over the Eschelbach further up into the Murr. The southern watershed runs long west on the spur of the Köpfles and separates it from the catchment area of the longer Eichelbach . Beyond the northern only short and mostly nameless streams run to the Murr above the Reichenbach estuary.
Most of the area is forested. In the far east there is a small area of land with arable land near Ittenberg and also in the west near the mouth with hillside meadows and valley fields around the only settlement in the catchment area, the Oppenweiler hamlet of Reichenbach an der Murr . The largest part of the catchment area also belongs to the Oppenweiler district, only a marginal strip in its south and east lies on that of Sulzbach an der Murr .

Origin of the Reichenbach at about 408 m above sea level. NN approx. 1.4 km west-southwest of Sulzbach an der Murr - Ittenberg in a fork in the forest east of the Köpfles and just this side of the municipal boundary of Oppenweiler. The valley incision is formed from here upwards about 0.8 km further in the forest in the direction of Ittenberg.
- (Other upper course), from the right and east to a little under 310.3 m above sea level. NN about 0.4 km before the change from the Schürhau to the open corridor, 0.8 km and about 0.4 km². Arises at about 435 m above sea level. NN at a bend in the forest path in Schürhau about 1.1 km west of Ittenberg. This upper course, officially counted as part of the main line, is hardly longer than the 0.7 km long upper course on the left of the name, which, however, at about 0.6 km² makes a noticeable contribution to the sub-catchment area.
- (Inflow from the Gereut ), from the left and southeast to around 265 m above sea level. NN in the corridor just before the Oppenweiler hamlet Reichenbach an der Murr , on the longest stretch to just over 0.4 km and below 0.2 km². Is the runoff of a plumage from small blades at the tail foot of the Köpfles , which at heights of less than 330 m above sea level. Use NN and inconsistently lead water.
Mouth of the Reichenbach from the left and finally west to about 257 m above sea level. NN near the Oppenweiler hamlet Reichenbach an der Murr in the middle Murr ; opposite the Mühlkanal of the Rüflensmühle runs back into the river. The stream is 2.0 km long and has a catchment area of about 1.5 km².
geology
The catchment area of the Reichenbach lies entirely in the Mittelkeuper . The two origins lie in the transition area between the Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ), which forms the plateau of the Murrhardt Forest, and the Upper Bunten Marl ( Mainhardt Formation ) below . After quickly crossing the layers below, which also includes a narrow band of reed sandstone ( Stuttgart formation ), the Reichenbach then runs the longest stretch in the Gipskeuper ( grave field formation ), most recently in the broad floodplain sediment band next to the Murr. At the middle reaches a large island of rock from higher strata that has slipped in the Quaternary . Both headwaters follow roughly proven fault lines, the deep floe lying north of the line.
nature
The two spring blades of the Reichenbach are deeply cut blades typical of the Mittelkeuper, on the slopes of which small springs often emerge, which nourish sintering. The hanging sedge and the giant horsetail grow in the blades . Sometimes there are also small rocks made of sandstone above the source streams, which in the lower area constantly lead water in a regularly up to two meters wide bed, in which there are small sandbanks and stones.
