The Schwarzbach is an almost 32 km long right or northern tributary of the Main in Hesse. The left upper reaches of the Schwarzbach bears the section name Dattenbach .

Surname

In the course of history the brook was known under different names such as Kriftel, Cruofdero, Cruftele or Kruftelam . Other names were or are Goldbach, Dattenbach, Kröftel and Okriftel . It was historically important as the eastern border between Königssondergau and Niddagau . In Roman times that separated Kriftel the Civitas Taunensium ( Wetterau and Vordertaunus) from the Civitas Mattiacorum (around Wiesbaden ).

geography

course

The Schwarzbach rises in the Hohe Taunus under the surname Dattenbach between Glashütten and Oberrod near the federal highway 8 and first flows through the districts of Oberrod and Niederrod , which belong to Idstein, and then crosses the Voraunus in a general southward direction . Below Kröftel is the rabbit mill by the stream. This is said to have served the Schinderhannes as a shelter. The reason was, on the one hand, the remote location and, on the other hand, the fact that the stream there was then the border between Kurmainz and Nassau. On the other side of the stream was the Fuchsmühle, which burned down in the 1980s. Between Kröftel and Vockenhausen, the stream flows through the Dattenbachtal nature reserve between Kröftel and Vockenhausen .

After 16.3 km of flow, it joins the Daisbach south of Vockenhausen with the Daisbach coming from the right and west from the direction of Niedernhausen and drops the surname. For the last 15.6 km to the mouth, only the main name Schwarzbach applies . The name came about because the tanneries there colored the water of the stream black.

The Schwarzbach flows through Hofheim am Taunus , the district town of the Main-Taunus district , the municipality of Kriftel , crosses the Main- Taunus foreland and finally flows into the Main at Okriftel .

fauna

In July 2009, 15,000 young salmon were released in the Schwarzbach. The authorities and the environmental associations hope that some of them will manage to return in a few years and spawn at this point. The following animal species also occur in the Schwarzbach : brown trout , grayling , Mühlkoppe , brook loach and stone crab . In addition, on the lower reaches of the rainbow trout , aland , chub , gudgeon , hazel , roach , bitterling , river perch , ruff , pikeperch , marbled goby and signal crab .

freetime and recreation

Old railway bridge

About 100 meters northeast of the Hattersheim (Main) train station , the Schwarzbach is crossed by the Taunus Railway ( Frankfurt with Wiesbaden ) on a rather inconspicuous two-arched sandstone bridge. The bridge dates from the original time of the railway in 1839 and is therefore - together with the Nied railway bridge - one of the oldest railway bridges still in operation in Germany. It is based on a design by Paul Camille von Denis . The bridge was renovated with concrete in 1911 . It is a cultural monument due to the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
