geography

course

The Seltenbach arises in an inconsistent course on the plateau of the Korngau as a sand ditch near the cemetery on the eastern edge of the Hochdorf district of Nagold . Almost exactly to the east it runs through the little deep Laiblestal north of the Eutingen district of Göttelfingen , where a stream that also only occasionally carries water flows into it from the left. Near to the southwest of the Rottenburg district of Baisingen , it takes in another inconsistent inflow from the left, shortly afterwards one from the west from the Korntal .

Only a little later, in the west of the Rottenburg district of Ergenzingen , does the constant run begin, on which it soon crosses the town underground. At the sports area on the south-eastern outskirts, it emerges again and then flows less than a kilometer eastwards and under the A 81 , before turning in a sharp curve to the south-west. From here, after its previous course, it flows into an only slightly deepened valley on the plateau, where fields often extend to the shore, now for the first time in a deeper valley under forest-lined slopes. He only keeps the new direction just below the Liebfrauenhöhe monastery , where he turns, again abruptly, to the south-east and now runs through the narrow, wooded Rommelstal valley, which is sunk into the Gäu Plateau, about six kilometers long and has a few valley meanders, in which the corridor later clears again on the valley floor. The valley, which runs as far as Obernau, is named after the family name Rommel of the royal official responsible for surveying. Then the Seltenbach reaches the second and last place it flows through, Obernau, at the entrance to the further Neckar valley, which is mostly on the left. Barely two hundred meters after breaking away from the settlement area, the Seltenbach finally flows eastwards and from the left into the Neckar .

history

The Romans used the water of the Seltenbach around 100 AD to supply the Roman city of Sumelocenna, the "Roman Rottenburg", about eight kilometers to the east. An aqueduct was built for this purpose, remains of which are still preserved in the Rommel Valley. In the Middle Ages the water was used for spa baths. When the nearby town of Rottenburg needed more water at the end of the 19th century, a water pipe was moved to Rottenburg. Until 1953 part of Rottenburg was supplied with water from the Seltenbach.
