The Schleifbach is a 3.7 km long stream in the west of the district of Schwäbisch Hall in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg , with its longest upper course , which flows downstream of the district of Gelbingen from the left and south-west into the middle Kocher . On the last kilometer he runs through the Schleifbach blade .

geography

course

Upper reaches to the Breiteichsee

The Schleifbach arises on the edge of the southeastern tip of the Waldenburg mountains to the Hohenloher level . Here on the sloping Keuperberge on the loamy slopes at a height that fluctuates with the seasons, some spring streams arise , some ponds sound in the loam and there are pools with water levels falling sharply in summer. The small streams that soon emerge from the forest then run through rather flat terrain, mostly occupied by meadows. The longest source stream, the Fässlesbrunnen , which arises in the open ground near the Haller Waldfriedhof, runs for a long time as a small meadow ditch without any accompanying gallery, the other two permanently water-bearing upper streams , the Wiesensteinbach and its receiving water, the Krummensteinbach , used to be covered with wood. The remaining two source streams are combined in the final playing sports ground strip on the western edge of the district Haller Heimbach settlement / Teurershof lying Breiteichsee . In the approximately 1.0 hectare large and up to 2.2 m deep, through the two tapering valley basins from the west and from the southwest V-shaped reservoir, the local fish breeding association fishes Moderlieschen, roach, rudd, rainbow trout, tench, scale and Mirror carp, pike, pikeperch and crayfish. On the left on the hill at the edge of the forest is the wide oak , the namesake of the at around 345 m above sea level. NHN lying lake.

Middle run to the Schleifbach blade

The Schleifbach flowing away from it then moves northeast, passes the Fischhaus settlement on the left bank and then begins to dig deeper into the plateau to the left of the Kocher valley. It soon crosses under a bridge under the Haller western bypass and then runs in a steeper hollow with orchards and pastures on the lower slope and fields on the edge hills towards the northern Gottwollshausen . Between his first house on the left edge of the hill and the old town center on the right with the small village church St. Georg on the edge of the valley, he crosses the Brunnenteichstraße leading towards Gailenkirchen , shows the first shell limestone banks in the bed and fills a small, wooden damming. Then he turns for only about 200 meters to the northwest, along the street Im Schleifbach, which is only very loosely built on the left. At the end of this section, the Neuhöfenbach runs to him under the road that turns to the west from the valley basin. Less than 100 meters up in the tapering valley there is an old building with a mill wheel that is no longer in use. After this, as you can see through a gap in the Verdolung, apparently quite strong inflow, the blade and the brook turn to the east-northeast, the water runs under the high embankment of the Crailsheim-Heilbronn railway line , which rises from the right from the Kocher valley.

Schleifbach blade and muzzle

After exiting the dam, the Schleifbach flows on its remaining course, which is about one kilometer long, about 150 meters long to the right at the foot of a heavily moss-covered retaining wall built up from shell limestone humpback blocks in a very wide and flat artificial channel. At the end of this, the brook plunges about 9 meters down to the valley floor of its shell limestone gorge, which has now become the Schleifbachklinge . A large, several meter long sintered lime droplet hangs on the gutter eaves, from which part of the water flow is sprayed. Opposite on the right side of the valley, a hiking trail descends into the Klinge, in which a little above a notch in the terrain shows the route before the diversion into the artificial channel. In the further course of the blade, the stream repeatedly falls in smaller steps over banks of shell limestone. On the lower right slope there is a small grotto next to the path. The lower blade becomes significantly wider, here the brook flows close to the left slope, while old runs on the right are filled with rock rubble and have no more flow, except when there is a strong flow of water. The brook leaves its blade about 150 meters from its mouth and emerges on a mouth fan in the left floodplain of the digester. Then it flows, opposite the Neuberg with the ruins of the Neuburg on the Umlaufberg , about one and a half kilometers downstream from Gelbingen from the left and west-southwest at about 265 m above sea level. NHN in a left loop of the middle cooker .

Catchment area

The Schleifbach has a catchment area of 4.9 km². It extends in a north-easterly direction from the level of the Streiflesberg near the road from the Schwäbisch Haller Stadtheide to the Michelfelder hamlet of Rinnen for almost 3.5 km to the confluence with the Kocher. Across it, it measures about 2.1 km at the widest point. The highest location in the catchment area is reached on its northwest side on the edge of the steps of the Rothalde to the Rinnen plateau with the Wartwald at a little over 500 m above sea level. NHN , the southeasternmost foothills of the Waldenburg mountains .

The watershed runs from the mouth to the south up the steep Kochertal slope, crosses Gottwollshausen above, and then reaches the farm fields in a flatter ascent ; on the other side in the east the short stream drains through the ear blade to the stove . From the Hofäckern the watershed turns to the west, divides the Heimbachsiedlung / Teurershof district and then runs roughly parallel to the B 14 except for a bump in the Haller Waldfriedhof; on this section, across the Heimbach, also competes east to the Kocher.

Then the catchment area border climbs the Streiflesberg to the northwest ; on the opposite side, the Streifleswaldbach runs southwest to the Bibers near Michelfeld, which also drains into the Kocher much further upstream. From the Streiflesberg the sheath climbs northeast down to a saddle and then onto the higher plateau of the Wartwald , whose southeast edge to the Rothalde it follows up to its eastern spur; behind the morphologically very distinctive border section, the Arzbach runs to the Bibers. The watershed then descends in a wide arc onto the plateau to the left of the Kochertal section and then continues east to the hamlet of Sülz ; across the border in the north, the Grundbach and its short tributaries drain over the Schmiedbach east to the nearby Kocher. From Sülz, the watershed rises again quickly over the downward spur of the mouth into the Kocher valley to the mouth.

On the west and north-east edge of the catchment area, less than 0.25 km² of forest area belongs to the municipality of Michelfeld , the entire remainder lies within the boundaries of the city of Schwäbisch Hall .

Origin of the Schleifbach in the Breiteichsee.

Breiteichsee , at over 345 m above sea level. NHN northwest of the Heimbachsiedlung / Teurershof district of Hall , 0.9 ha.
- Krummensteinbach , left and southwest tributary of the Breiteichsee, 1.0 km. Escape from a forest pond. The valley basin of the brook stretches as an initially steep clay gorge a few hundred meters west and a few dozen meters upwards in the direction of the log cabin on the Streiflesberg saddle.
  - Source pool of the Krummensteinbach at about 375 m above sea level. NHN to the left of the forest path from the forest cemetery to the Breite Eiche, 0.1 ha. A little further up there is another pond of about the same size in the valley basin.
  - Pond below 355 m above sea level NHN to the right of the run after the forest emerged in a tree gallery widened to the right, under 0.1 ha.
  - Inconsistent meadow inflow, from left and west across from the widened gallery, approx. 0.5 km. Arises in the forest at approx. 370 m above sea level. NHN near its eastern edge.
    - Runs through a pool at approx. 385 m above sea level. NHN at the edge of the forest and drains an even smaller left.
  - Wiesensteinbach , from the right and southeast to just under 350 m above sea level. NHN at the end of the widened gallery, 0.8 km. Arises in a narrow bay to the west. The basin continues here to the west and upwards, there is one in it
    - Pool at approx. 385 m above sea level. NHN left of the forest path mentioned above the origin.
    - Runs through a pond below 380 m above sea level. NHN in the bay, approx. 0.1 ha.
- Fässlesbrunnen , right and south tributary of the Breiteichsee, 1.6 km. Arises below 385 m above sea level. NHN at the edge of the forest, near the Haller Waldfriedhof to the west beyond Rinnener Strasse.
Inflow, from the left and west to over 335 m above sea level. NHN at the Fischhaus residential area, at least 0.2 km. The valley basin of the brook, which is quite stable in the lower reaches, continues with an herbaceous strip in the middle westwards for a few hundred meters to the edge of the forest, where north of the Breite Eiche next to a field path at about 355 m above sea level. NHN the heavily silted Rothalde pond lies.
Rinne, at over 330 m above sea level. NHN after the road bridge of the Haller Westumgehung (K 2576) from a source on the right upper slope, less than 0.1 km .. Immediately below the upper channel running diagonally to the slope, a floe has started moving downwards.
Neuhöfenbach (!), From the left and west to below 320 m above sea level. NHN next to the street Im Schleifbach in northern Gottwollshausen shortly before the passage through the railway embankment, at least 0.7 km. Arises below 355 m above sea level. NHN southwest of the hamlet of Neuhofen (!) In the Weingasse basin in front of a forest peak, which is a rudiment of the Haller Landheeg . The stream can carry quite a lot of water on the partly twisted lower course and used to drive an overshot mill wheel here.
- (Mühl -?) Pond below 330 m above sea level. NHN after crossing under the Gottwollshausener Brunnenteichstraße (old route of the K 2576 to Gailenkirchen ) a little in front of the building with the mill wheel, approx. 0.1 ha.

Mouth of the Schleifbach at 265.1 m above sea level. NN from the left and west-southwest in the middle Kocher at its loop around the Neuberg with the ruins of the Neuburg below Gelbingen . The brook is 2.2 km long from the confluence of the source brooks in the Breiteichsee, 3.1 km on the main strand with the Krummensteinbach, 3.7 km on the longest strand with the Fässlesbrunnen, and has a catchment area of 4.9 km² behind themselves.

Localities

Only the Fischhaus settlement with two residential buildings and ancillary buildings as well as the northwestern part of the hamlet Gottwollshausen , both of which belong to the Schwäbisch Hall district of Gailenkirchen, are located on the Lauf .

In the catchment area, there are also less than half of the Heimbachsiedlung / Teurershof district on the southeastern edge, more than half of Gottwollshausen on the eastern edge, the hamlet of Neuhofen in the northwest and half of the hamlet of Sülz on the northern tip, all also districts of Schwäbisch Hall .

geology

The Schleifbach runs in the Keuper and in the Muschelkalk . The source streams Krummensteinbach, Wiesensteinbach and Fässlesbrunnen all arise in the Gipskeuper ( grave field formation ), the layers of clay in the terrain on and below the Rothalde in a restless elevation with numerous small blades and tongue-shaped foothills as well as in the quickly silting small blade ponds . At the Breiteichsee it reaches the Unterkeuper ( Erfurt formation ), below the lake you can find numerous typical yellow clay stones of the Lettenkeuper in gravel banks in the stream bed. After its noticeable deepening below the Gottwollshausener Brunnenteichstraße (K 2576 to Wackerhofen), at its short bend to the northwest, the first rocky banks of the Upper Muschelkalk can be seen , in which he dug the steep Schleifbachklinge after returning to the north-east course after the route of the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway line Has. In this section, noticeable cushions of sintered lime have been deposited on the artificial waterfall as on a 2-3 m high fall and several smaller falls over rock banks. In the lower area of the blade, the bottom widens significantly; this is where the Middle Muschelkalk apparently sets in , into which the water later also flows. The brook runs in the lower blade at the left foot of the slope and has old runs on its right filled with debris banks, the remains of them only have a flow when the water is strong. After emerging from the blade, the stream crosses the left Kocher Valley, in which the floodplain sediment lies, on its last 150 m course on a noticeably arched rubble fan; an almost always dry old run on its shorter right edge shows a bed with bare rubble the size of a child's head, while a willow-covered, straight ditch run on its left edge may be laid out to drain the adjacent flat meadows.

nature and environment

About one and a half square kilometers in the west of the catchment area are forests on the slopes of the Waldenburg Mountains in an approximate triangle between the forest cemetery in the south, the Streiflesberg in the west and the Wartwald in the north. In addition, there is around a sixth of a square kilometer of gorge forest in the Schleifbachklinge. Around two thirds of a square kilometer are settlement areas, especially in the Heimbachsiedlung / Teurershof district of Hall to the east and the hamlet of Gottwollshausen, which is also part of the town, mainly to the east of the run. Up to the inlet of the stream at the Fischhaus, there are mainly meadows on both sides of the rest of the corridor, after which fields dominate except around Neuhofen.

The major part of the catchment area lies in two landscape protection areas; The landscape protection area Ostabfall of the Waldenburger Berge extends down to the outskirts of Gottwollshausen with Streiflesberg, Streifleswald and adjacent parts of the area , a little before the Schleifbachklinge the Kochertal landscape protection area begins between Schwäbisch Hall and Weilersbach with side valleys .

Sights and buildings

Natural monument width oak near Gottwollshausen

Natural monument Kleine Breiteiche , a sessile oak between Fässlesbrunnen and Wiesensteinbach at the entrance to the forest of a field path.

Natural monument Breite Eiche , about 250 meters northwest of the Breiteichsee on a field path that runs past the lake dam and into the forest immediately after the tree. The branches of the old, widely spreading pedunculate oak are supported with struts, a low parapet extends in a circular crown around the trunk.

At the lower, mostly gutted course of the Neuhöfenbach, less than 100 meters upstream of the confluence in the tapering valley basin, there is an apparently unused building with an approximately 7 meter high mill wheel on the outer wall facing the street. It has rusted metal blades and an overshot, almost no water inlet, is more than half in a pit in the terrain and is blocked by fallen material.
