The red in Gutenzell

The Rot , north of Achstetten also called Baierzer Rot , is a river in Upper Swabia , the southeastern part of Baden-Württemberg , mainly in the district of Biberach . After a 55 km long run, including its longest upper course, mainly to the north and north-northwest, it finally flows into the Danube from the right in the area of ​​the small town of Erbach in the Alb-Danube district .

geography

course

The Rot arises in the district of Biberach near the hamlet Spindelwag of the municipality Rot an der Rot from the confluence of the Pfaffenrieder Bach coming from the south and the Ellbach flowing from the southwest . The main upper course is the Pfaffenrieder Bach with its much greater length and its somewhat larger sub-catchment area. This entfließt in district Ravensburg little northwest of the bath Wurzacher village Seibranz on Öschhof a Kleinteich almost at the apex of a würmeiszeitlichen moraine , the watershed between the iller beyond the part and the Danube river basin above the inflow is on this side. The right Pfaffenrieder Bach then joins the left upper course at Spindelwag.

After the "river wedding" of Ellbach and Pfaffenrieder Bach, the Rot meanders mainly northwards through its valley, which is lined with wooded ridges and initially interspersed with moor and meadows and later with arable land. Via the municipality of Rot an der Rot, where the Haslach joins before Zell an der Rot , its tributary with the richest catchment area, it flows towards Berkheim- Eichenberg and takes on the Reichenbach , then past Erolzheim -Edelbeuren to Gutenzell , under which you the Laubach flows in. Then it moves through Schwendi and Burgrieden in the direction of Achstetten , which is on the left of the run.

A few kilometers down the river flows through the red, the city of Erbach in Alb-Donau-Kreis belonging Dellmensingen where her as the last of the major tributaries, the Schmiehe falls. Below this, most of its runoff flows via an artificially created canal into the reservoir of the Donaustetten hydropower plant near Ulm - Donaustetten ( Ulm city ​​district ), which is fed by a canal branching off from the Danube , while the remaining water is directed under the canal branched off from the Danube and runs further north in the original river bed, only to flow a little further north across from the bathing lake and behind the central Erbach into the river bed of the Danube itself.

Catchment area

The Rot has a rather slim, 297 km² catchment area, except in the uppermost area, which extends approximately 47 km as the crow flies from the watershed in the south to the Iller to the confluence with the Danube and approximately northwards. The western watershed borders only briefly on that of the Riss , but mainly on that of the river system of the Westernach, which flows into the Danube less than a kilometer further up, and in particular of its main waters, Rottum . On the east side the catchment area of ​​the Iller borders up to the Danube, which competes for a long time over its left tributary Weihung. All neighboring rivers move almost parallel northwards towards the Danube.

Tributaries

Direct tributaries from the origin to the mouth. Selection, usually without secondary channels.

Localities

Locations on the run with their affiliations. Only the names of the lowest nesting level denote neighboring settlements.

Worth seeing

Sights on the Rot include, for example, sections of the Oberschwäbische Barockstraße and Mühlenstraße Oberschwaben holiday routes , which either run along the river or cross it.
