geography

Schirnbach spring

Schirnbach spring

The Schirnbach spring, designated as a natural monument , lies at an altitude of about 266  m above sea level. NHN southeast of Rüdenhausen . The water of the spring set in natural stones rises from the rocks of the Steigerwald foreland and emerges from the sand-covered soil of the spring socket.

The Rüdenhausen bypass is currently being built near the Schirnbach spring .

course

The Schirnbach, which soon runs steadily north-west, is strengthened for the first hundred meters after the source, first on the left and then on the right by two only periodically flowing streams; the longer right one along the St 2421 is called Goldbach and usually arises half a kilometer south-east of the Rüdenhausen outskirts of a source in a small wood, but can sometimes even arise on the outskirts of Greuth .

In Rüdenhausen, the Schirnbach initially flows along the eastern edge of the castle park, where it used to feed the moat of Rüdenhausen Castle . After the market place, he takes a shorter source branch of the same name from the left on the A 3 crossing between Loh- and Kratzermühle. Down the Kratzermühle, the Schoßbach flows from the right, which, together with its upper reaches, the Kantersbach, is even longer than the Schirnbachstrang up to this point; a little after this mill, also from the east-southeast, the equally long Heimbach or Heubach. The stream then crosses a forest bar and in the following corridor the village of Feuerbach .

Below it it finally flows out at an altitude of about 216  m above sea level. NHN at the lower paper mill from the left into the Sambach .

Its approximately 7.3 km long run ends 50 meters below its source, so it has an average bed gradient of 6.9 ‰.
