The Rubach , sometimes also called Rubächel , is a 4.5 km long creek in the northern Black Forest in the Lichtental district of the independent city of Baden-Baden in western Baden-Württemberg , which after a total of north-north-west run at the Lichtentaler residential area Gaisbach from the right and finally east into the Oosbach flows.

geography

course

The Rubach rises from a spring about 200 meters west-southwest of the Höhenhotel on the pass of the Rote Lache at about 680  m above sea level. NHN near the junction of the road to Scherrhof from the western valley path of the L 79. The young brook immediately crosses under the path and flows about half a kilometer northwest to a basin lying in the open corridor, where it is about 600  m above sea level. NHN from Eichenploch in the south a further source branch runs towards it.

From there the Rubach flows northwards for the longest part of its way with only weak and drawn out changes of direction. His bed, often completely free of trees or bushes, lies in a strip of meadow a hundred meters wide, which is occasionally interrupted by forest bars on the valley floor, while dense forest stands on the slopes above. The L 79 accompanies it on the left on the lower slope. After about three kilometers, it crosses the Schmalbach von Lichtental settlement, which is mostly on the right bank, with its dozen house numbers, where the open valley corridor on the right slope widens for a section over 200 meters wide.

Downhill from it he turns in a valley forest bar for the last kilometer of his way on the western run, during which he finally passes the three properties of the Lichtentaler residential area Gaisbach . A hundred meters after his last house, it flows out at about 291  m above sea level. NHN from the right into the Oosbach, the right, somewhat shorter and noticeably poorer catchment area, but nonetheless official to this beaten branch upper course of the Oos , which bends here in the last Rubach direction to the west. The length of 4.6 km and the catchment area of ​​5.2 km² of the Rubach are only slightly below the corresponding values ​​of the Oosbach upper reaches (5.1 km and 6.9 km²) to the Tubach estuary.

The Rubach flows about 389 meters below its source and has a mean bed gradient of about 85 ‰.

Catchment area

The 5.2 km² area drained by the Rubach mainly belongs to the natural area of the Northern Black Forest valley , the southernmost and highest area on the Ruberg belongs to the Grindenschwarzwald and Enzhöhen natural area (see also the natural structure of the Black Forest ). Its highest point in the very south close to the higher of the two peaks of the Ruberg is just over 870  m above sea level. NHN high. From here on, the catchment area stretches around 4.5 km north to the Hummelsberg ( 558.5  m above sea level ) above the Talknick near Gaisbach; across it it is quite uniform and nowhere more than 1.5 km wide. The directly competing brooks beyond the short southern and the long eastern watershed on the Ruhberg, then along the long eastern and again the short northern one on the Hummelsberg, from the Sersbach down to the Waldbach , are all left tributaries of the course of the Murg in the northern Black Forest. Beyond the western, the receiving Oosbach drains the adjoining area.

Apart from the mostly open valley floodplain, nowhere more than 250 meters wide, the catchment area is completely forested. The only settlement areas in it are the Schmalbach and Gaisbach settlement areas in Baden-Baden's Lichtental district. The brook rises in the district marking of central Baden-Baden, to which the left half of the valley from the left watershed mostly down to the L 79 on the lower slope belongs, while the right half with almost the entire course of the brook lies in the Lichtental district marking. A narrow strip of high forest on the right ridge belongs to the town of Gernsbach .

Tributaries

Other sources for the information are noted. Small selection from a large number of short sloping streams, unnamed on the usual maps, with at best low valleys formed on the lower reaches.

  • (Bach), from the right and east-southeast to about 460  m above sea level. NHN , 0.7 km and approx. 0.2 km². Arises at about 627  m above sea level. NHN south of the Breitfelder Hütte.
  • (Stream), from the left and southwest to about 400  m above sea level. NHN close to Schmalbach , 0.8 km and approx. 0.2 km². Arises at about 587  m above sea level. NHN in the Langer Wiesel won .

geology

Right at the southern edge of the catchment area lies on the Ruhberg Unterer Buntsandstein , in the arch around the uppermost valley there is a zone with Permian Zechstein . The Rubach rises roughly at its transition to the underlying granitic deep rock, the Forbach granite . In the vast majority of the remaining part of the area, this rock is then everywhere.

Nature and protected areas

The entire catchment area of ​​the stream lies in the Black Forest Middle / North Nature Park . Besides the Gernsbacher, the vast majority of the Baden-Baden area is part of the Baden-Baden landscape protection area . Numerous spring channels, forest-free swamps and field trees in the course of the stream and its tributaries are designated as protected biotopes in accordance with Section 32 of the Nature Conservation Act and Section 30a of the State Forest Act. The upper area of ​​the Ruberg is part of the Northern Black Forest bird sanctuary .

On the first one and a half kilometers of the course of the stream, large parts of the catchment area on the slope belong to the Baden-Baden water protection area , the Stadtwald, Scherrhof, Holdergrund and Übelsbach springs, and the fork around the Obertal . The Baden-Baden part lies in the wide spring protection area for the Baden-Baden thermal springs.

traffic

The valley of the Rubach already offered a regionally important connection from the upper Murg valley to the market town of Baden-Baden and in the direction of the Upper Rhine Plain. In 1906 it was expanded into a country road, today's state road 79, which runs through the entire valley from the top of the Rote Lache pass. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the reign of Grand Duke Friedrich I and the golden wedding anniversary with Grand Duchess Luise , the new street was named Großherzog-Friedrich-Luisen-Straße .
