The Rossbach is a creek not quite a kilometer long in the suburb of the eponymous village of the municipality Bühlerzell in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , about half a kilometer southeast and above the hamlet of Heilberg from the right and east into the upper Bühler .

geography

course

The Rossbach arises at about 453  m above sea level. NHN near the entrance to the forest of the field path north of Senzenberg via the Rosshalde arable field into the Hirschreute forest . It runs quite steadily in a west-southwest direction, the first 0.3 km still in the forest edge, until it reaches below 425  m above sea level in its now flatter valley basin . NHN leaves the forest behind and now moves on in a straight, almost woodless ditch through the mostly meadow-covered corridor. In the right flood plain, it crosses under the Bühlertalstraße L 1072 and then flows about half a kilometer southeast of the hamlet of Heilberg at a little over 390  m above sea level. NHN from the right and opposite the Heilberg ( 444  m above sea level ) into the Bühler above the hamlet of the same name.

The Rossbach flows after its 0.8 km long, a mean bottom slope of 76 ‰ showing course about 63 meters below its origin in the Bühler.

Catchment area

The Rossbach has a catchment area of 0.3 km², which in subspace Ellwanger Berge of the natural environment Swabian-Franconian Forest is located. On the shorter right watershed on the northwest side up to the highest point on the north-northeast tip at about 473  m above sea level. NHN on the upper, still flat southern slope of the Rossberg , it borders on that of a smaller competitor, which drains the southern Rossberg to the Bühler a little downhill, the left watershed in the east separates it from the more important neighboring valley of the next upper Bühler tributary Gruppenbach .

About half of the catchment area in the north is forest. The heights of the hills on the Rossberg in the east are plowed, in the open valley basin, on the slope of which you can find hedges, and the adjacent Bühleraue are almost all meadows. The area, which is entirely part of the Bühlerzell suburb of the municipality of the same name, is completely uninhabited, the largest part of it, namely the open area, belongs to the Upper Bühlertal landscape protection area with side valleys and adjacent areas .

The whole area is in the Mittelkeuper . The plateau to the north of it on the Rossberg (up to 480.7  m above sea level ) is formed by the silica sandstone ( Hassberge formation ), under which the lower colored marls ( Steigerwald formation ) are located in most parts of the forest. The lower terrain level on the ridge of the Rosshalde (up to 459.3  m above sea level ) between the Rossbach and Grundbachtal valleys with their sandy fields must belong to the reed sandstone ( Stuttgart formation ) according to the stratification usual in the area , the slopes and hollow of the valley still belong below the Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld formation ).
