The Riedgraben is a one and a half kilometer long, mostly dry rift system in the eastern Hintertaunus in the district of Butzbach in the Hessian Wetteraukreis . The Riedgraben coming from the north joins the Fauerbach from the left and finally from the west .

View from the Hausberg observation tower to the spring branches in the oval

The Riedgraben rises in two branches in the eastern Hintertaunus to the northwest and above Fauerbach vd Höhe .

The approximately 800 m long upper branch has a hydraulic connection at its highest point to the road ditches on both sides of the district road 15 between Butzbach - Hoch-Weisel and Butzbach - Münster . The approximately half a kilometer long lower branch rises at a height of 264 m from a contained and temporarily pouring spring at the junction of a field path, approximately 200 m east of the K 15.

Both branches initially run parallel to the south side of dirt roads at a distance of about 300 m through the field corridor Am Gänsnett to the east. The upper ditch now turns almost 90 ° to the south, then flows about 350 m between the corridor Riedgraben on the right and the corridor An den Brautgärten on the left and then picks up the lower branch on its right side. Below the junction of the two branches, a small hollow has formed in which moisture-loving plants ( stream bungee and rushes ) form a community and indicate that the ditch temporarily carries water.

The combined ditch now runs south-southeast towards the village of Fauerbach and after about 300 meters is piped under the place, about 350 m long as the crow flies. It begins about 40 m north of a tower-like transformer house , which stands at the intersection of Mehl- and Weidengasse ( Grabelicksweg to Butzbach-Münster, there called Fauerbacher Weg ) on the northern outskirts. Although no water flows into the piping at the inlet, it leaves its end below a newly built hall of a courtyard on the eastern outskirts of Fauerbach.

The ditch leads in a straight line to the east and turns for a few meters to the southeast, to flow from the left over part of the ditch flank at a height of 208 m into the Fauerbach approaching from the west .
