The Rindbach is a brook in the Main-Tauber district in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the middle Tauber from the left below Creglingen after a long north, finally east-north-east run of a total of almost 12 km .

geography

course

The Rindbach arises about one kilometer southeast of the village of Rinderfeld in the small town of Niederstetten in front of the northwestern tip of the forest of Hauten in the area of ​​the deserted Kunzenweiler at a crossroads at about 442  m above sea level. NHN . Initially it runs in a ditch from northwest to west. Less than 200 meters from the northern edge of the hamlet of Dunzendorf , it then flows into a 0.6-hectare lake with two small tree islands, to which another ditch also runs from Dunzendorf. Immediately after the stream has left this lake, it flows into the 1.2 hectare permanent lake of the Rinderfeld flood retention basin, which, together with the previous one, is surrounded by a tree-lined green strip.

After the Rindbach has flowed under the earth dam of the flood retention basin, it only has a short stretch of open course before it rotates through the village of Rinderfeld northwards. After the other end of the village, it continues to flow underground through a field and then emerges again in a ditch at the sewage treatment plant. There, for example, the previously not very deep basin of the brook develops into one of the typical shell limestone valleys with patches of forest on the slope from time to time. After it has passed through such a section with forest on both slopes, it swings only a short distance to the northeast and flows under the Weikersheimer hamlet Oberndorf on the left upper slope to the immediately following Creglinger hamlet Standorf mainly on the right bank. The Streichentaler Bach flows through this place from the south, a not much shorter brook with less constant water flow.

Below Standorf the valley again has a northerly main direction; the stream, now mostly accompanied by a tree gallery, and the valley, which is often wooded on the slopes, are now in stronger loops. On this section, the side stream of the Störrental from the southwest is the only side stream that is here at least partially stable. after this unsettled section, the Rindbach flows through the Creglingen village of Niederrimbach . There, in the center of the village, the largest tributary, the Neubronner Bach, flows northwards for the longest part, from the left.

After the end of the village, the valley, which becomes noticeably wider from there, and the stream slowly turn towards the east for its remaining course, which is less than two kilometers long. Finally the Rindbach flows out at about 263  m above sea level. NHN shortly after the sewage treatment plant of Creglingen and a little before the waterworks in the floodplain and the Bavarian border from the left into the middle Tauber running northwards here .

The Rindbach flows after about 11.7 km with a mean bottom gradient of around 15 ‰, about 179 meters below its origin.

Catchment area

The Rindbach has a catchment area of ​​29.1 km². With a not very changeable width of three to less than four kilometers, it extends across it for about nine kilometers from a little south of Dunzendorf to the north to approximately the border with the Bavarian area around the northern arch of the middle Tauber northwest of Creglingen. The 470  m above sea level. NHN highest point in it is near the southeast corner and the Lichteler Landturm . In terms of natural space, a small part in the south belongs to the sub-area of ​​the south-western Rothenburger Landwehr of the Hohenloher and Haller Plains , while the large central part belongs to the sub-area of southern Tauberplatten and the small estuary from Niederrimbach to the sub-area of Taubertal near Bieberehren of the Tauberland .

In turn it borders on the catchment areas of the following neighboring rivers:

  • at the northeast corner in the area of ​​the mouth to the immediate area of ​​the receiving Tauber ;
  • in the rest of the east to that of the upper Tauber tributary Herrgottsbach , which partly competes via its left tributaries up to the Klingenbach ;
  • Beyond the southern border, the Wildentierbach drains over the Reutalbach to the downstream Tauber tributary Vorbach ;
  • Behind the western border, the Vorbach tributary Ebertsbronner Bach collects most of the water, most recently the Vorbach tributary Landgraben ;
  • on the other side of the northern watershed, a few small, only intermittently water-bearing or completely dry blades run to the Tauber arch around Bieberehren .

On the smaller part of the area there is forest in the form of several, sometimes quite large forest islands, especially on the area of ​​the plateau near the watershed and on the valley slopes. In the larger open part of the landscape, mainly arable farming is practiced.

In the south, the Rinderfeld district of the small town of Niederstetten with the hamlet of Dunzendorf , the village of Rinderfeld and the hamlet of Streichental have a share of the catchment area ; the western part of the larger remainder belongs to the small town of Weikersheim and mainly to its district mark Neubronn, here are the hamlet Oberndorf and the village of Neubronn , while the eastern part belongs to the small town of Creglingen and mainly with the hamlet Standorf to its district Niederrimbach. A tiny uninhabited spandrel in the far north is part of the Klingen district of the municipality of Bieberehren in the Bavarian district of Würzburg .

Flood retention basin

The Rinderfeld flood retention basin was built a little south of Rinderfeld in 1988 . Behind an 8.2 m high earth dam, 26,000 m³ of water are permanently dammed on an area of ​​1.2 ha. During high water, the basin through which the Rindbach stream flows and is also fed by a small inflow from Dunzendorf holds a further 168,000 m³, which are drained off in a controlled manner. You can also swim in the lake.

geology

Around the upper catchment area of ​​the Rindbach and its second largest, Streichentaler Bach tributary, which begins at a similar distance to the south, there are continuous, closed half-rings made of Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ), the highest tertiary layer in the catchment area. It continues on the eastern watershed to the north beyond the width of Standorf, in the form of layer islands also on the western and in the interior to a little south of Niederrimbach.

The dominant layer in the catchment area, however, is the Upper Muschelkalk , in which most of the streams arise and the Rindbach, like its largest tributary, the Neubronner Bach, also remain until just before Niederrimbach. After that, the two stream beds lie in the Middle Muschelkalk , into which the Rindbach also flows.

Occasionally there are also small islands of loess sediment from Quaternary deposits on the Upper Muschelkalk .

The strike Taler Bach crosses the upper reaches of a trending southwest to northeast Horst . In Neubronn, a fault with the Hochscholle in the southwest from southwest to northwest crosses its valley at the bend of the Neubronner Bach.

In the catchment area there are numerous sinkholes indicating karstification of the Upper Muschelkalk , especially in the forest areas near the watersheds. Some of them are sealed with flooded clay and therefore house sinkholes. Two such hulls are designated as geotopes, one in a large sinkhole with a diameter of 50 meters is located in the doline - rich forest of Hften south-southeast of Streichental, and a smaller one with only 12 meters of sinkhole diameter southeast of Standorf in the Birken forest .

Nature and protected areas

On its course, which is open again, from the sewage treatment plant of Rinderfeld to the mouth, the Rindbach is classified as a carbonate low mountain range rich in coarse material. Starting from the village, it usually flows in a natural way, often in meanders and usually accompanied by a strip of alluvial forest, while the upper course is a ditch channel that is rarely made of wood, similar to the Neubronner Bach, which only has a more natural character below Neubronn and at the beginning even in sections - be it in a drainage, be it natural - flows underground from fields. The most unsteady flowing Streichentaler Bach among the three large bodies of water has hardly any bank vegetation; it flows, if at all, almost entirely in very straight ditches.

The three large stream valleys belong at least in part to the Weikersheim and Creglingen landscape protection areas , the Rindbachtal from the city limits of Niederstetten to Weikersheim, the Lower Valley of the Streichentaler Bach shortly after the city limits from Niederstetten to Creglingen and the Lower Valley of the Neubronner Bach to Neubronn - the valley locations respectively except. The stone bars typical of the region can often be found on the valley slopes . Almost the entire catchment area is located in a large water protection area .
