The Schindbach or Schimbach is a creek about three kilometers long in the area of ​​the small town of Langenburg in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows from the right and east into the middle Jagst at the north foot of the mountain spur that supports the town and castle .

geography

course

The only occasionally water-bearing upper course of the Schindbach flows in a ditch that is about one kilometer east-northeast of the center of the Langenburg hamlet of Atzenrod on the Alten Postweg and the route of the former Blaufelden – Langenburg railway at about 483  m above sea level. NHN begins. This draws dead straight between field and meadow towards Atzenrod, in which it continues following the Blaufelder Straße underground. After he is about 450  m above sea level. NHN has crossed the Grabenweg, he enters his forest blade in the open course again, in which its more constant lower course falls steeply to the valley. Less than 500 meters further, he crosses under the hairpin of the valley path of the L 1033 from Langenburg to Oberregenbach at about 450  m above sea level. NHN . To the north under Langenburg Castle on the Talsporn on the left, it passes the sewage treatment plant of the small town and immediately crosses the L 1025 at the bottom of the Jagst Valley. A good hundred meters further on, it flows from the right in a west-northwest direction to 286.7  m above sea level. NHN in the middle Jagst .

The Schindbach empties about 196 meters below the beginning of its upper reaches, its mean bottom gradient on this 3.0 km long stretch of river is about 65 ‰. Most of the absolute gap, namely about 163 meters of altitude, which accounts for its blades run, only about 1.7 km is long, here the average bed slope is therefore even at around 97 ‰.

The Schindbach has no significant tributaries.

Catchment area

The 2.2 km² catchment area extends about 2.9 km to the west from near the start of the trench to the mouth; across it it is a maximum of 1.0 km wide. It borders in turn: in the north-north-west for a long time to the drainage area of ​​the Reisichsbach , a roughly parallel Waldklingenbach further downstream, which flows into the Jagst shortly before Oberregenbach; in the north-east briefly to that of the Holderbach , which only reaches the Jagst downhill from Unterregenbach; in the east again longer to that of the Michelbach , whose outflow the Jagst now reaches above the Schinbach estuary via the Brettach . The most noticeable watershed runs on the ridge of the Langenburger Talsporn in the south, whose waste on the other side largely drains the Ziegelbach, which flows into the Jagst in Bächlingen . The up to 491.1  m above sea level. NHN highest altitudes are all on the northeast and eastern watershed.

The Langenburg hamlet of Atzenrod is the only place on the run, around its soft patch of orchards there are almost only fields. The entire catchment area lies on the Langenburg town marker and in the natural area of Kocher-Jagst Plains , up to the Klinge in its sub-area Bartenstein-Langenburger Platten , then in the sub-area Middle Jagsttal .

In its section on the plateau up to the entrance to the blade after Atzenrod, the Schindbach runs on the Lettenkeuper ceiling ( Erfurt formation ) of the shell limestone , in the three large layers of which the stream then cuts in its steep gorge down to the Jagsttalgrund and into the lower shell limestone . There he finally crosses the floodplain sediment tube around the river. On the highest parts of the catchment area on the north and south-east edges of the Lettenkeuper there is still loess sediment from also Quaternary deposits.

Nature and protected areas

The largest part of the Unterlaufschlucht is part of the landscape protection area Mittleres Jagsttal with side valleys and adjacent areas . In this blade there are landslides and seepage springs on the slope, fallen trees and deposited block debris on the bottom. In parts the stream runs under gravel, on the lower part it has raised a terrace up to 30 meters wide.
