The Rinnenbach is a less than 4 km long creek almost exclusively in the area of ​​the municipality of Kupferzell in Hohenlohekreis in northern Baden-Württemberg , which flows northeast of Hesselbronn from the left and southwest into the Kupfer .

Surname

According to maps from the first half of the 20th century, the Rinnenbach was called Westernach at least from the confluence of its two headwaters on the northern edge of the village, and at least then it was still called Westernach .

geography

Upper course Rinnenbach

The Rinnenbach is still being built in the Waldenburger / Kupferzeller industrial area on the urban boundary of Waldenburg between the street Am Bahnhof and Max-Eyth-Straße at about 349  m above sea level. NHN in a ditch through a fallow area, which is only a little over 200 meters east of the course of the Epbach , which curves conspicuously close to the foot of the Waldenburger Bergsporn in the west . After a few steps, it crosses Max-Eyth-Straße and changes between the industrial buildings by its side in the Westernach district of the municipality of Kupferzell, where the rest of the river and all other waters in its stream system are located. Then he moves approximately eastwards, somewhat looped and accompanied by a farm road through the fields around the village of Westernach. At the northern edge of the river it meets at about 343.4  m just before the connecting route to Belzhag with the last Ziegelbach coming from the south.

The Rinnenbach upper course is about 1.2 km long and has a catchment area of ​​only about 1.0 km² up to the confluence about 6 meters below its source. It has an average bottom slope of about 5 ‰ on this stretch.

Tributary to Ziegelbach

According to the identification number shared with the Rinnenbach-Unterlauf, the tributary Ziegelbach of the Rinnenbach is considered by the State Agency for the Environment Baden-Württemberg as its main upper reaches. It arises about 1.1 km south-southwest of the center of Westernach on the lower foot of the Friedrichsberg at a field path cross at about 363  m above sea level. NHN . In the beginning about north it crosses a farm road accompanied by the Hohenlohebahn and then delimits the western edge of a newer part of the Westernach settlement. Then it swings at a short tributary from the south-west for its second half of the course to the north-east, partly ruined course through its soft patch and the village and reaches the Rinnenbach on its opposite side.

The Ziegelbach is about 1.3 km long and has a catchment area of ​​about 1.7 km². It has an average bottom gradient of about 15 ‰ on this stretch.

Further course

After the Ziegelbach has flowed in, the Rinnenbach, at least here formerly also known as Westernach , swings to the north-east and after a good 200 meters it crosses the federal highway 9 , about 400 meters further the federal highway 6 . On its straightened course, which only changes direction slightly, between fields in its little deepened natural hollow, it is still closely accompanied by a farm road. About a kilometer and a half after its large upstream tributary, it changes direction to the north and is soon strengthened in the flat corridor of the Gewann Sauerbrunnen from the southwest by the Katzenbach, a nearly one and a half kilometer long Feldbach that arises a little north of the highway entrance to the main road and is on the way takes up a left branch from the hamlet of Hesselbronn . Then it crosses under the K 2367 Hesselbronn– Goggenbach and then flows 300 meters later from the left and south and a few steps after the Ohrnbach from the other side at about 330.8  m above sea level. NHN in the copper .

The entire course, known as the Rinnenbach, is 3.6 km long, drops by around 18 meters in altitude on this route and therefore, like on its upper course, has a mean bottom gradient of around 5 ‰. The line from the source of the Ziegelbach is 3.8 km long, flows about 32 meters below this source and has a mean bed gradient of about 9 ‰.

Catchment area

The Rinnenbach has a catchment area of ​​5.7 km², which extends from the spur tip of the 516.7  m above sea level. NHN high Friedrichsberg extends about 4.2 km north-northeast to the confluence with the Kupfer . The overall small proportions of the Sporn Plateau and the slope of the Friedrichsberg naturally belong to the lower area of ​​the Waldenburg Mountains of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains , but the far larger portion with all watercourses is around 150 meters lower in the lower area of ​​the Kupferzeller Ebene and Kocheneck of the Hohenloher and Haller levels .

The catchment areas of the following neighboring waters border on that of the Rinnenbach:

  • in the north that of the Heimbach , the unstable next left copper tributary;
  • from northeast to east that of the receiving copper itself;
  • in the southeast the Flürlesbach above competes with the copper in a direction similar to that of the Rinnenbach ;
  • The upper Epbach drains from the southwest to almost northwest beyond the watershed , this sheath is initially very prominent in the form of the Friedrichsberg spur waste, in the area of ​​the Rinnenbach origin in the Waldenburger / Kupferzell industrial area, only a good 200 meters from the Epbach run, then almost not closed to notice;
  • in the north-east lies the headwaters of the Sall for only a short section .

On the Friedrichsberg-Spornabfall there is forest up to the lower slope, the rest of the area outside the soft area of ​​the settlements is used almost entirely for arable farming in large areas that have been cleared of land. Except along the traffic routes (in front of the autobahn and the Hohenlohebahn), it is only slightly structured by woods. The only settlement on the brook itself is the village of Westernach , it is on the right and is traversed by the other spring branch, Ziegelbach. In addition, the hamlet of Lochholz is located in the catchment area in the south, halfway up the slope of the Friedrichsberg and the hamlet of Hesselbronn on the northern edge, all three in the Westernacher suburb of Kupferzell , which covers almost the entire area. Only at its western edge to the Rinnebach origin projects with its industrial area at the station a little piece Waldburger city district into the catchment.

Tributaries

Origin of the Rinnenbach at about 349  m above sea level. NHN as a runoff from a reed area in the Waldenburg / Kupferzeller industrial area between the street Am Bahnhof and Max-Eyth-Straße . The ditch of the Rinnenbach, which begins directly at the municipal border, flows into the Kupferzell municipality initially approximately eastward, and mainly along roads and field lanes.

  • Ziegelbach , from the right and south-southwest to about 343.4  m above sea level. NHN on the northern edge of Kupferzell- Westernach just before the communal road to Belzhag , 1.3 km and approx. 1.7 km². Arises at about 363  m above sea level. NHN on a field road cross south-southwest of Westernach between the furnace , Seeäcker , Holz and Reuth .
    Is accompanied by dirt roads up to its inflow.
    The Rinnenbach, which is 1.2 km long up to the Ziegelbach, has a catchment area of ​​only approx. 1.0 km². After this inflow, the stream turns to the north and is called Rinnenbach on today's (2017) topographic maps , while according to maps from the first half of the 20th century it was called Westernach from here, at least then . The responsible state agency     for the environment in Baden-Württemberg, in turn, names the entire strand from the flowing Ziegelbach and the following lower course, probably after the more important upper course branch with Ziegelbach .
    • (Inconsistent inflow from the brick fields ), from the left and southwest to about 348  m above sea level. NHN on today's western edge of Westernach, approx. 0.4 km and approx. 0.7 km². Arises at about 354  m above sea level. NHN on the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway line .
      Is accompanied by dirt roads up to its mouth.
  • Katzenbach , from the left and southwest to about 333  m above sea level. NHN in Gewann Sauerbrunnen east of Hesselbronn , 1.4 km and approx. 1.5 km². Arises at about 343  m above sea level. NHN on a dirt road section under the B 19 in the Geizklinge basin .
    Today a dirt road ditch along its entire length in its natural hollow.
    • (Graben von Hesselbronn), from the left and west to about 337  m above sea level. NHN southeast of Hesselbronn, approx. 0.5 km and approx. 0.6 km². Arises at about 543  m above sea level. NHN on the southwest edge of the Hesselbronn soft patch.

Mouth of the Rinnenbach (or Westernach ) from the left and finally south to about 330.8  m above sea level. NHN northwest of Hesselbronn in the copper . The brook is 3.6 km long with its upper course called Rinnenbach , 3.8 km long with the longer right upper course Ziegelbach and has a catchment area of ​​5.7 km².

geology

From a geological point of view, the catchment area of ​​the Rinnenbach lies in the Middle and Lower Keuper . On the small spur plateau of the Friedrichsberg in the far south lies Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ), down the slope only thin strips of Lower Bunter Mergeln ( Steigerwald Formation ) and Kieselsandstein ( Hassberge Formation ) follow . A larger zone in the gypsum keuper ( grave field formation ) already sets in above the holewood , which is partially evident in nature through restless slope shapes and extends approximately to the railway line a little southwest of Westernach. Beyond it, the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ) sets in , which occupies the larger remaining part of the catchment area, but is covered in places on the small hills by loess sediment from much younger Quaternary deposits and in the early accompanying floodplain strips around the watercourses by likewise Quaternary fluvial sediment .

The Rinnenbach rises in such a wide floodplain sediment area, which is also flowed through by the Epbach, which is close to the west, the Ziegelbach just in the Gipskeuper, the Katzenbach on the edge of a loess sediment island on the Lettenkeuper.

Nature and protected areas

The Rinnenbach, which was straightened after 1930 and before 1980, is now accompanied by rows of trees at best. Only in two places after crossing under the motorway do they widen into field hedges that are 20 meters wide. The largest of these artificial plantings in the catchment area are, however, on the embankment of the motorway and in the cloverleaf of the driveway from the main road. Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park encompasses all parts of the catchment area down to the railway line. The portion northeast of the route of the B 19 is part of an extensive water protection area on both sides of the Kupfer.
