The Söllbach is a 3.5 km long forest stream in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg , which flows through the southeastern Mainhardt Forest and flows into the Fichtenberger Rot from the left and northeast at Oberrot - Obermühle .

geography

Source and history

The Söllbach arises in the south-eastern Mainhardt forest between the nearby Schwäbisch Haller hamlet Sittenhardt and the more distant Oberroter hamlet Frankenberg in the Seiterwald, which belongs to the municipality of Rosengarten, at around 484  m above sea level. NN . The commentary hut is a stone's throw away in a small forest clearing.

From here it flows almost half a kilometer to the southeast, then swings south and takes up two short left tributaries. Then it flows around the Wolfsberg to the west, after its passage takes up the Wolfsbach , which comes from the northeast from the golf course near Frankenberg, and continues southwest. A third of a kilometer later, the right of its two longer tributaries flows out at around 385.6  m above sea level. NN , the 2.6 km long Tiersbach , which arises a little closer to Sittenhardt than it does, but flows here on a straighter path. At an acute angle of the mouth of the spur is Köpfles , the southern tip of the enclosed by the two streams Kommenturwaldes .

The valley basin is noticeably wider from here and its bottom is now in the open corridor. Another half a kilometer further from the left and east runs to the 2.6 km long Altenbach , which arises at the foot of the small hill Frankenbergle . A little afterwards, the Söllbach enters the soft landscape of the Oberrot hamlet of Obermühle, here it bends west around the sharp, south- tapering mouth of the Kappbach to the Rot , picks up a smaller tributary from the left from the Mühlreuteklinge east of the settlement, and then pours into approximately 366  m from the left into the Fichtenberger Rot , from which the Mühlkanal branches off a few steps afterwards.

Catchment area

The Söllbach has a catchment area of ​​7.5 km². It extends in the south-eastern Mainhardt Forest roughly between the southern part of the Sittenhardt clearing island in the north and the slope of the plateau to the left Oberrot valley widening of the Fichtenberger Rot in the south, between the forest road Sittenhardt-Frankenberg in the east and the mountain ridge that ends at Kornberg in the south Valley of the "Fichtenberger" Rot in the west.

Starting at the mouth, the watershed runs northwards up the ridge of the Kappberg to Kornberg and continues along the road from there to Sittenhardt, but leaves it where it turns to the northeast and thus reaches the middle of the Birkenhäus . To the west of it, the Fichtenberger Rot is very close everywhere , so that there is only one place on the other side for a smaller inflow to it ( donkey blade ).

From the Birkenhäu the catchment area border then runs east-northeast - and a little south of the eponymous Schwäbisch Haller hamlet - over the Sittenhardt clearing island to its eastern edge in the Hartäckern , where on a hilltop at 512.5  m above sea level. NN is the highest point in the inlet area of ​​the Söllbach . In this section, the North competes through the hamlet to Rötenbach and red flowing customs Hardter Bach .

Then the water divide runs roughly on the route of the forest road from Sittenhardt to Frankenberg, initially east-southeast to just before the triangle of roads west of the Lichten Platte . On the other side of the river, the steep slope of the Mainhardt forest down to the lowlands of the rose garden , which is drained by the Sanzenbach to the beaver, begins here . From then on, the dividing line follows, with certain fluctuations, the road to the Oberrot hamlet of Frankenberg, which it crosses, and then close behind the small Frankenbergle , which follows the plateau, at 511.2  m above sea level. NN to reach another watershed triangle. The water east of this border stretch also flows to the Bibers via its largest tributary, the Dendelbach .

From the triangle point onwards, the red catchment area is connected again on the other side . The vagina draws first, there southwest, following the road from Frankenberg, up unto the other end Hohenhardtsweiler hamlet, on this short section competes the red tapered Stiersbach . Then the dividing line bends to the west and runs on a side path up close to the southern slope of the plateau through Kohlwald and then Amselwald to the left edge of the Red Valley itself. Until then, the immediate competitor is its tributary Finsterklingenbach . Then it moves at an obtuse angle to the Rot to the valley, crosses Obermühle and reaches the confluence again.

Origin of the Söllbach in the forest about 1.2 km southeast of the center of Schwäbisch Hall -Sittenhardt between Seiterwald in the north and the clearing around the former commentary house in the south, east of a forest path cross, at about 484  m above sea level. NN . About 400 m north-west of there is a pond in an old pit at the edge of the forest to the Hartäckern RiverIcon-SmallLake.svg , which, following the contour lines through the Seiterwald, has to drain towards the Söllbach source.

Localities

A good two thirds of the catchment area is forested. The significantly smaller part of the open field, in which the grassland dominates, is located on the lowest course and in the Rottalaue near the Oberroter Obermühle. The larger, on the other hand, lies on the plateau divided by the Söllbach and its tributaries at at least 460, mostly 480 to 510  m above sea level. NN in clearing islands. In the south-east lie the hamlets of Hohenhardtsweiler and Frankenberg in the Oberrot area , with the larger part of Hohenhardtsweiler and only the smaller part of Frankenberg falling into the catchment area, as well as the hamlet of Seehölzle and a single farm. In the Sittenhardt clearing island in the far north, which is part of Schwäbisch Hall , only two small, isolated groups of buildings on the edge of the uppermost Tierbach- Mulde drain to the Söllbach . In the far west of the unwooded ridge between Tierbach and Rot , the Kleinweiler Kornberg is just beyond the watershed. Surrounded by the forest in the north is the former commentary house, the only Rosengarten residence.

In the northwest, less than 1 km² of the catchment area belongs to the town of Schwäbisch Hall, in the central area there is almost 2½ km² of forest to the left of the upper Sollbach and between Söllbach and Tierbach the wide ridge of the Hörnles to Rosengarten. The larger rest of the catchment area lies in the Oberroter district.

Landscape image

Around 70% of the catchment area is forest. Large areas in the middle and south of the catchment area - north of the Köpfles , near Kornberg, west of Frankenberg and in the Amselwald - are groundwater protection areas that serve the Oberroter water supply.

A well-developed forest path follows the creek from the commentary house to Rottalstraße at the mouth - on its forest stretch in front of the Tiersbach inflow on the lower right slope, up to a hundred meters from the creek and up to twenty meters above it.

The open fields of the lower valley and the two still running streams belong to the landscape protection area Fichtenberger Rot-, Murr- and Fornsbachtal with adjoining mountain ranges .

In the upper valley of the Brenntbach near the Sittenhardt – Frankenberg im Greut road there are two and a half litter meadows, and to the right above the Tiersbach im Gewann Kleefeld there is a dry grassland, all of which are natural monuments.

The floodplains of the Söllbach and most of its tributaries occupy near-natural wetlands that accompany the natural streams. On the eastern edge of the catchment area there are some wet meadows and litter meadows on the upper reaches of the left-hand tributaries in the open corridor on the plateau around Frankenberg; such also occur next to the Söllbach lower reaches after it emerges from the forest. There are several near-natural stream sections in the corridor in the east. The free spur of the Kappberg is covered with grass.

The entire catchment area belongs to the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park .

geology

The Söllbach rises in the transition area of ​​the silica sandstone ( Hassberge Formation ) to the lower colored marls ( Steigerwald Formation ) below . The course and catchment area are entirely in the Mittelkeuper .

In the area of ​​the Söllbach middle and lower reaches the long-reaching east-north-east running depression zone of the Neckar-Jagst furrow runs through the Keuper mountain landscape of the eastern Mainhardt Forest. As a result, Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ) still lies to the left of the creek and on the Kappberg because of the low layers on the upper areas of the plateau , while a little north and south outside this zone, i.e. to the right of the Söllbach and a little south of the left watershed , the silica sandstone completes the sequence of layers at the top at a similar height. For the same reason, the deepest layer into which the brook cuts is the Lower Colorful Marl, while in the Rottal lies Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld formation ) on the lower slopes both slightly above and below the mouth of the Gipskeuper . At the Söllbach- Unterlauf two faults crossing the valley and thus turned against the main direction of the Neckar-Jagst furrow are assumed with the deep floe each down the valley.

In large sections of the valley and in the side valleys there are slides on the slopes. The Quaternary valley fillings, which widen noticeably towards the mouth, begin in the lower part of the central valley. The flat area of ​​the upper Tiersbach near the spring , almost at the top of the plateau, is filled by the same floodplain sediments.

In the parlor sandstone by the Kornberg water tower there is a site of pebbles and flint stones. Around von Frankenberg, sandstones were quarried in three places in it. At the street star east of Seehölzle, a wooden barn with a conspicuous tower-like structure still stands on the edge of the hollow of the uppermost Altenbach . Here, mined sandstone was allegedly ground into sand in the past.
