The Rentbach is an approximately three kilometers long, north-north-west and left tributary of the Sauerbornsbach in the Hessian Taunus .
geography
course
The Rentbach arises from a number of small source streams between Königstein and Kronberg at the northeastern foot of the 408.7 m above sea level. NHN high Hardtberg .
Officially, however, it begins in the Kronberg area directly north of the border with Mammolshain at an altitude of 306 m in the Opel zoo, which was founded in 1956 on the initiative of Georg von Opel as a research enclosure .
It flows through the zoo and finally feeds the small Hardtweiher there . After leaving the zoo, he immediately runs into a steaming basin built by the Kronberg sewage association in 2015 for around 750,000 euros . To the south of it lies the Königstein State Forest , a designated protective forest .
The stream now flows at the northern foot of the Hardtberg, which is covered with mixed forest, in an east-southeast direction, initially in the Lower Eichen corridor, through a loosely and largely deciduous, deeply incised valley . In the following hallway in the Rentbach there is a small forest with alders and other trees in damp to wet locations. In the northern area there was a meadow orchard that was previously intensively used and many of the old apple , mirabelle , cherry , pear and plum trees have been preserved to this day. In the north, accompanied in this case the leader of Kronberg Opelzoo public Philosophers and the south by the current through the forest Scheibenbuschweg . At the Flur Im Tal it is bridged by the Rentbachweg . The brook now runs south-east through grassland accompanied by thick wood. It then flows past a small pond on its left. On the other side there is the chestnut grove Buchholz , for which the two cities of Frankfurt and Kronberg feuded in 1389. In this grove there are trees with a trunk width of up to one meter.
He then crosses under the valley road . He used to run the Thalmühle to the south of Talstrasse in the Neunmorgen corridor . The stream now moves east of the resulting primarily with 70-50s in the years of the 20th century single and two-family houses lined valley road along and passes the lying on his left side on the eastern outskirts of Kronberg 1901-1905 by the Frankfurt banker Wilhelm Bonn built and Villa Bonn is now a listed building and now houses the Kronberg town hall. Around the town hall, in the corridor Auf dem Pfaffenstück, is the town hall garden, a spacious park-like garden with old trees that comes within fifty meters of the brook. Next to the villa is the Catholic St. Peter and Paul Church designed by the Frankfurt architect Max Merkel, the foundation stone of which was laid on May 7, 1876 by Pastor Johannes Ehrlich. Between the town hall and the church there is a listed rectory and to the south of the church there is the Villa Frank , a building built in the 1860s in the style of historicism . There is another large orchard meadow to the west of the valley path.
A little further down the stream , where the valley path divides into the Upper and Lower Talfeldweg , a mill ditch branches off from the Rentenbach on the right side . To the west of it, just under a hundred meters from the stream, lies the 2.8 hectare Thalerfeld cemetery . Between the stream and its ditch there are wet meadows with a high biotopic development potential and in places a heavy vegetation of moisture-loving bushes and trees. West of the Mühlbach is a chestnut grove and then hedges with trees in fresh locations. A little further down the stream , the donkey path , an extension of the Kronenthaler Weg, crosses the floodplain . On the outskirts in the east there is the Villa Haub , built in 1905 in a country house style by the Kronberg building contractor Franz Hauber . To the right and left of the two trenches there are gardens remote from the apartment
To the south of the corridor Auf der Birk , the garbage ditch flows back together with the Rentbach. The reunited stream now runs south-south-east through a strip of deciduous forest, which is bordered to the right and left by grassland through the Kronenthal , then makes a small arc to the left in the Breitwiese corridor and takes on a meadow creek on its left side. The Rentbach then runs, accompanied by wood, through grassland in a south-south-west direction along the eastern edge of the Kronenthal senior citizens' home . A little to the west of the monastery is the Herberth cider press and then the Kronthal spring park .
In the street In the Kronenthal , at the western side there Schlehensträuche grow, the river changes again to the south-southeast and finally ends in corridor Sauer Bornwiese hundred meters west-southwest of the resultant in the Middle Ages as Fronhof, then used later for sheep farming, today stud Schafhof and a good half a kilometer east of Mammolshain and south about the same distance from Kronberg at an altitude of about 176 m at an acute angle from the left into the Sauerbornsbach which is approaching from Mammolshain from the west-northwest .
Catchment area
The catchment area of the Rentbach lies in the Hochtaunus Nature Park and for the most part belongs to the Königsteiner Taunusfuß natural area , only the last stretch to the mouth is in the area of the Kronberger Taunusfuß . It is drained into the North Sea via Sauerbornsbach, Schwalbach , Sulzbach , Nidda , Main and Rhine .
The catchment area of the Rentbach is adjacent
- in the northwest to that of the left Liederbach upper course Reichenbach ,
- in the northeast to that of the Westerbach tributary Winkelbach ,
- in the east then to that of the Westerbach itself, which is a tributary of the Nidda,
- in the west to that of the Hollerbornbach , which flows into the Sauerbornsbach, but is viewed by some as its source brook
- and in the west it borders on that of the Liederbach, which is a tributary of the Main.
Most of the catchment area is forested, with the town of Kronberg in the east and green spaces in the east of the estuary in the south.

Geology and soil type
Geologically, the northern area of the basin is from the Phyllitgesteinen from Oberordovizium and Silurian coined in the central region prevail green shales and gneisses from the Silurian before and on the lower reaches is clay - silt , sand - gravel , quartzite , limestone and Tuffit from the Miocene - series of Neogens before. In have brown soils with lösslehmhaltigen Solifluktionsdecken deposited and base-poor rock units and in the narrower Aue there Pseudogley - Parabraunerde ago.
nature and environment
The Rentbachtal is surrounded by large chestnut forests and orchards. It provides a habitat for rare bird species such as the endangered redstart and the threatened serpent , grosbeak , rattle warbler and pied flycatcher . At bat species was common pipistrelle seen and also the occurrence of slow worms is known.
