The stable stream . Stahlbach , too , in sections also Moosbachl , Bleicherbach , and others, is a small body of water near Enns in Upper Austria .

Run and naming

The approximately 17 km long stream drains the first valley of the Traun-Enns-Riedelland west (upstream of the Danube) of the Enns .

The Stallbach rises between Dietach and Stadlkirchen , a few kilometers north of Steyr , and initially flows eastwards, but after about a kilometer mainly northwards. It passes the small towns of Ober- and Unterstallbach , Sieding and Pirchhorn near Hargelsberg . At Thann it comes close to the left parallel brook , the Thannerbach , up to 250 meters, Thann is slightly elevated between the two brooks. Then it flows through the scattered settlement Moos , here it is also called Moosbachl.

Between Eichberg and Forstberg - Schmidberg (Stadtberg von Enns ) the Stallbach reaches the Linzer Feld and runs through Lorch . Here it is also called Bleicherbach or Lorcher Bach . A little north of the village it flows into the Kristeinbach from the right , which itself flows into the Danube soon after.

Hydrography, Name and History

Stallbach is primarily the name on the upper reaches. the localities of Stallbach there can still be found in the 18th century in dialectal long Stolbach , hence the spelling Stahlbach. Also moss Bachl old on the middle reaches and Than Bach and Lorch Erbach refer to the respective places Moos , Thann and Lorch . The second name is confusingly borne by the neighboring Thannerbach to the west . A derivation of the old spelling Lŏrahha / Loracha  (977) for the location as Achen name from an old river name Lauro / Lorch ( Lorbach, Laurach , “Lorcherbach”) is considered incorrect.

The catchment area of ​​roughly 20 km² extends to the east in the Kronsdorf - Thaling - Enns area up to a few hundred meters to the Enns, which is deepened there into the high terrace of the Traun-Enns-Platte, and a stepped area , here Leiten or Wagram called, trains. The western (orographic left) part of the catchment area is narrow, steeper and small-scale structured towards the Thannerbach. The stream has no tributaries worth mentioning.

Substantial parts of the water seep into the gravel of the Linzer Feld, so that the direct entry into the Kristeinbach is less than the water flow near Enns, for example.

The stream on the lower reaches of the river was extensively redesigned in Roman times, in addition to providing water for the military and civil town of Lauriacum, it filled the moat of the legionary camp. This (not precisely right-angled) rectangular storage ditch, with the main axis of the facility pointing to the northeast, was partially preserved in the 18th century and enclosed the area of ​​the Maria Anger church . The southeast side of the city, close to the Enns, served as a Rossschwemme , and later as an ice pond . The course of the trench today corresponds to the Lorcher Straße (piece by piece) - Teichweg - Bahnhofweg - Römergraben , with some direct reference to the fortification by name (mentioned from the east, the north corner of the camp is cut off by the western railway ).

The stream was tightly regulated in the 1930s. Unlike the Kristeinbach, the Stallbach is not affected by transverse structures in the upper and middle reaches. Its bank area is still relatively natural in parts with a wooded border . In June 1996, after a thunderstorm driving rain, severe flooding occurred on the lower reaches. In 2015, as part of the expansion of the Büsscher & Hoffmann area in Lorch , the stream was relocated around its northern edge, and lavishly revitalized with an artificial meander and park design.
