The Rotenbach is about four kilometers long, right tributary of the Rems from the Welzheimer Wald in eastern Baden-Württemberg , whose upper course is called Deinbach .

course

The Rotenbach rises on the western outskirts of the Schwäbisch Gmünder district Rehnenhof-Wetzgau , a few steps south of Großdeinbacher Straße (K 3268) and immediately west of the Wetzgau cemetery. After walking less than a kilometer to the south-south-west, it has dug a 60-meter-deep forest hollow in the Lower Jurassic plateau and then takes in a tributary about half as long from the right, which comes from the eastern outskirts of Großdeinbach in the north-north-west. Then it turns in a southerly direction and then takes on numerous sloping streams from the right and left, some of which are steeply sloping into the Oberkeuper .

Shortly after passing the Fuchsloch , a valley opening on his left, through which his longest tributary (almost 800 m) from the center of the Großdeinbach district of Wustenriet , the route of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes crosses the valley. It moves from the Waldgewann Burgstall on the west slope, in the bottom of which the remains of the small Roman fort Kleindeinbach lie, over to the east to the Gewann Pfahl on the opposite height. Around 90 meters west of the brook , the Roman provinces of Upper Germany and Raetia met each other in Roman times , roughly between today's municipalities of Lorch in the west and Schwäbisch Gmünd in the east . The floodplain opens a little downhill to form a broad meadow, less than a kilometer later the valley reaches the Remstal on the Stuttgart – Aalen railway line ; On the eastern mountain spur between the valleys was the small fort Freimühle in Roman times . After about 500 m of the Remsaue and a total of about 4.0 kilometers in length, the stream flows into the Rems from the right , shortly after it has passed under the B 29 .

The stream and its catchment area are entirely within the boundaries of the city of Schwäbisch Gmünd .
