The black cooker is the left, longer source flow of the cooker . It rises south of Oberkochen from the origin of the Kocher . When undercooking , it combines with the white cooker to form the cooker .

Surname

Since the source river flows quietly away from its source, the viewer has the impression that it is black. This led to the name Schwarzer Kocher. Another explanation is that slag residues from the former slag laundry near the origin of the cooker gave the black cooker its name.

Historical maps, namely the Walch map from 1804 and the Majersche map from 1705, show, however, that the names of the source rivers of the Kocher were exchanged over time. There the Oberkochen tributary, today's black cooker, is referred to as the “red boiler” and the Unterkochen tributary, today's white boiler , is called the “black cooker”.

geography

course

The origin of the Black Kocher south of Oberkochen is the start and end point of the Oberkochen route of the Karstquellenweg .

The Schwarze Kocher flows through the town of Oberkochen, where the third and smallest source brook of the Kocher, the Rote Kocher , flows from the oil pond. It is also fed by the Katzenbach . This rises in the meadow from a typical layer boundary spring . The Katzenbach flows, partly piped, after a short run as Zollbach at the station bridge into a Mühlkanal next to the Schwarzer Kocher. About half a kilometer down, the Gutenbach , also known as Langertbach , also flows into the same canal in the settlement area of ​​the city, a few steps before its return .

In the Aalen district of Unterkochen, the black and the white cooker unite . The confluence was renatured in 2015 and relocated about 100 m to the northeast. Where the Black Kocher flows to the east today, the White Kocher ran west until the redesign.
