The throat is the left of three branches of the confluence of the Welzbach into the Tauber near Werbach and Hochhausen in the Main-Tauber district of Baden-Württemberg .
course
The current flowing to the axis of its there west-southwest pulling Tales Welzbach divided about 200 meters before the Werbacher Weidenmühle at a weir into two branches.
The right branch, still called Welzbach, flows down to the mill at the level of the weir, and then turns around 90 ° to the right at the transition into the Taubertal, grazes the outskirts of Werbach and, after a long, almost parallel run, flows next to the Tauber as the lowest Mouth of the Welzbach in them. From Welzbach, the middle, rather short, splitting arm Schleifgraben goes off to the left.
The left splitting arm Schlund leads the overflow of the Streich weir shorter and in continuation of the direction of the lower Welzbachtal to the Tauber. At first it flows, accompanied by wood and strongly straightened, between the corridor at the willow mill on its left and the corridor shaft drive on the right through fields and meadows and under an old stone bridge. At the Lache corridor, it crosses the L 506, then runs a good half a kilometer between the Rosenmark corridors in the north and Kannenmark in the south and flows out across from Hochhausen at an altitude of about 169 m above sea level. NHN from the right into the Tauber approaching there from the south.
The throat is about 2 to 3 meters deeper than the Welzbach arm. This circumstance, its apparently large gradient and its direction in continuation of the valley direction of the Welzbach indicate that it follows the route of the old Welzbachlauf before the construction of the Streich weir. This is also confirmed by statements from locals. The higher right lower course Welzbach was probably created artificially to irrigate meadows or to drive earlier water mills .
