The Herrgottsbach is a 14 km long creek from its highest source on the northeastern edge of Baden-Württemberg in the northern Hohenlohe plain and especially the eastern Tauberland , which flows into the Tauber from the left and south in Creglingen in the Main-Tauber district . His valley is called Herrgottstal.

Rimbach

The Rimbach between Spielbach and Wolkersfelden

The Rimbach is the left source brook of the Herrgottsbach . It arises south of the village of Spielbach, which belongs to the municipality of Schrozberg, on the northern edge of the Hochholzes at around 471  m above sea level. NHN . It runs first and foremost in an east-northeast direction. After leaving the forest, it turns north and feeds the ice pond and another small lake with a total area of ​​about 0.4 hectares. In the further north run parallel to a dirt road, it reaches Spielbach and flows through it partly in a westerly direction. After the last houses, it continues as a ditch to the municipality and district boundary, where it flows northwards into the area of ​​the town of Creglingen. Here in the rear blade , which is more of a hollow, it flows between low wooded hills on both sides. To his left is the nature reserve Oberrimbacher Erdfälle in the forest areas Birken and Dornschlag ; in it, rows of sinkholes run parallel to a typical, here quite striking sinkhole field. The break-in dolines begin a little above the border with the Upper Muschelkalk in the Lower Keuper . Then he reaches the Creglingen village of Oberrimbach , behind which his real blade, d. H. The valley section of the lower reaches begins. After a short stretch past the Galgenberg to the right , he reaches Lichtel, a hamlet largely on the spur of a castle that was abandoned in the late Middle Ages, from the other side of which his only significant, 3.1 km long tributary, the Klingenbach, flows from the left. A little behind it, after 7.3 km, it joins the right Schmerbach to the Herrgottsbach . Its catchment area covers 14.7 km², to which the Klingenbach contributes 3.7 km².

Schmerbach

The Schmerbach is the right source brook of the Herrgottsbach . It arises at about 460  m above sea level. NHN north-east of the Schrozberger place Böhmweiler next to a road, which it then follows as a ditch north over the district boundary to the Creglingen place Blumweiler. Shortly before the hamlet's settlement limit, it passes through a pond of around 1.2 hectares. From the small settlement it flows with fluctuations in a north-westerly direction. A little before he reaches the Creglingen village of Schmerbach , a field of sinkholes runs to the north in the Burgstall forest on the left edge of the hill. Behind the village, at the southwestern foot of the Sommerberg ( 437.7  m above sea level ), its short blade section begins , after which it converges with the left Rimbach to the Herrgottsbach . It has no major tributaries, is 6.2 km long and its catchment area covers 9.4 km².

course

The Herrgottsbach flows about 0.8 km northeast of Lichtel at 361.1  m above sea level. NHN from its two upper reaches and then remains on its fairly constant north-north-west run through the so-called Herrgottstal in the town of Creglingen. From the beginning he is accompanied by the state road 1005, which enters his valley via the Kerbtal of the Schmerbach. Under the left slope Halden there are three smaller ponds in the left floodplain. Soon afterwards, from the right, from the wooded Heisersklinge, a brook, which is only about 0.7 km long and is emerging quite far below, runs towards it. However, the Klinge runs from the plateau to an unstable water-bearing ditch in a clearly recognizable valley basin, which arises a little above the approximately 0.8 hectare Karrodsee , runs through this bathing lake and runs westwards to the beginning of the Klingen ; With this route, the watercourse then reaches a length of around 4 km.

To the west of the downward spur of the mouth of the Kräuselberg , the Herrgottsbach is dammed up immediately after this inflow by a dam to the approximately 2.2 ha large Münstersee , which almost completely fills the valley floor, which is only about 100 meters wide. About half a kilometer after the outlet, above a campsite in the floodplain on the southern edge of the village of Münster, it reaches another reservoir, this time about 1.1 hectares. The village that it passes through is the only larger settlement in the valley in front of the small town itself and is located at the inlet of the 3.8 km long Berbach , which arises as the crow flies about three kilometers south-southwest of its mouth in the center of the village on the eastern edge of Niederstetten on the left plateau and a little away from the Lichteler Landturm as a ditch alongside the road, but often dry there on the upper reaches falls. At the northern edge of the village, a 0.4 km long water from the short Eppichsklinge flows from the left .

This is the last tributary of the brook, which does not noticeably widen its valley bottom for the remaining three kilometers of its course in the steeply cut shell limestone valley. About one kilometer before the town limits of Creglingen, he passes the Herrgottskirche, famous for its high altar, on the lower right-hand slope, immediately afterwards the coal mill . A little behind it, an old Mühlkanal branches off to the right, which after a parallel run of 0.6 km runs back to the settlement boundary. Now the Herrgottsbach still flows close to the core town of Creglingen, which is narrowed by its location in the only slightly widening valley funnel, at the left foot of the slope for about 300 meters and finally flows out at the Riemenschneider Bridge at less than 270  m above sea level. NN from the left and south into the Tauber .

Catchment area

The Herrgottsbach has a catchment area of ​​42.9 km², to which the left upper course Rimbach contributes 14.7 km² and the right Schmerbach 9.4 km². It extends from its greatest height in the high wood to about 482  m above sea level. NHN near and a little above the Rimbach source a little over 11 km north-northwest to the mouth in Creglingen at a little under 270  m above sea level. NHN . At right angles to it it reaches a maximum width of about 6.7 km.

Beginning at the northern tip of the estuary, the catchment area border stretches south-east to a little east of the Karrodsee, where it bends south to near Böhmweiler and the source of the Schmerbach; On this section, smaller bodies of water move beyond to the upper Tauber . Here the border bends to the west- south- west, whereupon it extends to the height mentioned in Hochholz , the southernmost point of the catchment area; beyond the somewhat larger (upper!) Vorbach drains to the Tauber, at the very last in the Hochholz there is the catchment area of ​​its even higher inflow, Schandtauber .

Now the watershed runs to the northwest into the large wooded area of Hften between Wildentierbach and the Lichteler Landturm, towards the catchment area of ​​the Reutalbach , which flows into the (lower!) Tauber tributary Vorbach . On the final stretch of the watershed running to the north, the Streichentalbach and the downstream Tauber tributary, the Rindbach, run roughly parallel to the Herrgottsbach.

In the south-west, less than 5 km² of the catchment area belong to the district of Niederstetten , in the south less than 7 km² belong to the city of Schrozberg , the remaining under 31 km² are cregling.

Tauber river system

Characteristic

The Herrgottsbach is a second order body of water. Its water quality was classified in 2004 on the section recorded for this purpose, which begins shortly after its source brooks merge, as low pollution (quality class I-II). It belongs to the trout region . While the creek is still very close to nature in its remote sections, the parts in the settlement area and the areas around the reservoirs are heavily built-up. Its course is hindered by transverse structures in the area of ​​the reservoirs through which it flows.

geology

Rimbach and Schmerbach begin their course in the Unterkeuper layer on the shell limestone of the southern plateau, on the edge of loess sediment , which occupies the highest positions in elongated islands, especially on the southern edge of the catchment area, but also to the west of the mouth of the Herrgottsbach on the plateau lying forest area Bockstall occurs sporadically. The short inlet of the Karrodsee arises in the Unterkeuper, Klingenbach and Berbach on the border of this to the Upper Muschelkalk , which Rimbach near Spielbach and Schmerbach near Blumweiler reach and where they also unite. In the area of ​​the two reservoirs, middle muschelkalk sets in for the first time in the valley floodplain , which occupies the greater part of the slopes in the Untertal and into which the Herrgottsbach also flows. Also in the area of ​​the lakes, floodplain sediment sets in on the valley floor, which stretches in a narrow strip to the mouth.

biosphere

The Herrgottsbachtal is characterized over long stretches by large strips of alluvial forest with lots of ash , black alder and pollarded willows. Shortly before the confluence of the Herrgottsbach into the Tauber there is a moist high herbaceous corridor . On the lower reaches of the Herrgottsbach there are not only bullheads but also brown trout , eels and minnow and in the upper reaches, besides the bullhead, only brown trout and occasionally the non-native rainbow trout occur. The noble crab and stone crab can also be seen in the Herrgottsbach . According to the fisheries association Creglingen eV, roach , rudd , crucian carp and various other small fish species should also occur in the stream.

freetime and recreation

The Herrgottsbach is popular with anglers because of its abundance of fish . The two reservoirs are also used as fishing waters, the second northern reservoir is also used as bathing water . The stately alluvial forest galleries invite you to go hiking .
