The Schlierbach is an almost 8 km long brook in the Ostalbkreis in northeastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows from the right to the upper Kocher near the Hüttlinger hamlet Niederalfingen after running south-southeast .

Several kilometers down the valley there is another, smaller, right-hand Kocher tributary Schlierbach, just after the hamlet of Wöllstein in the Abtsgmünd community .

geography

course

The Schlierbach arises on the extensive Black Jura plateau around Neuler , which it divides into two wings with its rapidly deepening south-south-east course. Its source is about 900 meters south-southeast of the Neul hamlet of Leinenfirst , about 50 meters from the south side of a district road triangle, in the forest of the tithe blade that begins there . Already on the first kilometer in the valley (measured as the crow flies) it cuts about 50 m into the terrain and then mostly runs between wooded, steep slopes in a narrow meadow. Above all from the left, the valley has some steep side cliffs with tributaries, none of which is two kilometers in length.

After almost half of the run, the L 1075 descends into the valley on the flank of such a left side blade, above which the village of Neuler sits on its shoulders, crosses the stream and then rises again to the right plateau after the hamlet of Bronnen ; it is the only public road in the mostly narrow valley. After a subsequent section of the valley, in which the forest even covers the valley floor and the brooks meander between the feet of the slope , a floodplain opens up again; from here, now flowing over 80 meters below the side heights, the Schlierbach runs more and more southeast over the next two kilometers to Niederalfinger Bad. There it turns south at a last tributary, runs through the hamlet of Niederalfingen , above which Niederalfingen Castle stands on the downward spur of the valley , crosses under the federal road 19 on the southern outskirts to the Kocheraue, in which the Schlierbach then flows from the right into the upper one that runs westwards there Kocher empties.

Catchment area

The Schlierbach drains 13.3 km² in the sub-area of Platte von Neuler of the natural area foreland of the eastern Swabian Alb . Its catchment area has roughly the shape of a spindle, which is about 6.9 km long from its tip in the north-northwest on the edge of the linen ridge to the mouth in the south-southeast and about 3.1 km wide at the thickest point. The highest and lowest point are at the spindle tips, at the linen ridge at about 541  m above sea level. NN and at the mouth to 391.5  m above sea level. NN .

The border to the adjacent catchment areas runs largely on the almost everywhere very flat, slightly sloping Black Jurassic plateaus on the right and left above the deeply indented valley. In the northeast competed beyond the watershed of the size Bach to the upper Jagst , in the east, via its two headwaters Strütbach and length Bach , of this flow in the reservoir Rainau book reached Ahlbach . On the remainder of the stretch to the mouth, the scabbard runs towards the very small Hüttlinger Dorfbach on the other side of the short southeastern border, which reaches the upper Kocher for the first time . The competitors in the southwest are the somewhat longer south-facing Kocher tributaries Ziegenbach and Krummbach . In the rest of the west, finally, the Blinde Rot also runs south to the Kocher, it is by far the longest of the neighboring rivers.

About a third of the drained area belongs to the municipality of Hüttlingen , this part is located in the southeast; the rest to the community of Neuler . The only settlement on the run is Niederalfingen at the entrance to the Kochertalaue; The grinding mill, which has since been abandoned, once stood near today's Neuler sewage treatment plant.

Other places in the drainage area are the village of Neuler itself, just above a short left side edge of the middle valley, by far the most populous place, and the Neuler Halmeshof on the downward left watershed and the Hüttlinger hamlet of Sulzdorf on the upper Fülgenbach in front of its edge. Today only the Neuler hamlet of Ramsenstrut lies on the right-hand edge, roughly west of Neuler. A grinding yard located further down the valley just above the upper shoulder of the slope has also been removed.

The forest takes up a quarter of the catchment area, it stands on a large part of the valley slopes of the stream; In the upper reaches it leaves gaps in the corridors, in the middle it is closed and even covers the flood plain, in the lower reaches it leaves it free again and only ends near the local border of Niederalfingen. The larger side blades are also wooded. The plateaus on both sides of the steep incision lie entirely in open fields and are mainly used for arable farming.

geology

The Schlierbach rises near the border between the Black Jura , which covers the accompanying plateaus, and the Oberkeuper below . Step-forming is an erosion-resistant sandstone layer in the Black Jurassic. When the Schlierbach crosses into the Kocher Valley, there is Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ) on the lower slope , and its own lower meadow, like that of the Kocher, is filled with alluvial sediment. Trees on the open Schlierbachtal slopes sometimes show saber growth , which points to landslides and the presence of marl ( Trossingen formation ) in the subsoil.
