The Stangenbach is a stream in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg, four kilometers in length, which flows into the upper "Spiegelberger" Lauter from the left and northeast at the Wüstenroter Lohmühle .

geography

course

The Stangenbach arises at the north foot of the 559  m above sea level. NHN high Stangenberg in the area of ​​the municipality of Wüstenrot next to the northern Wesleystraße at about 500  m above sea level. NHN in a beginning forest blade . From here it runs west-southwest, soon forming the marking boundary opposite Löwenstein on the right bank, until the valley road K 2098 descends into the valley coming from the left of Wüstenrot and Schmellenhof and a tributary from the direction of the Horkenberg flows from the right. Then the brook turns to the south-south-west back into the Wüstenrot area, a course which it will hold steadily from now on.

The Wüstenroter Lohmühle. The Stangenbach comes into the picture from the left

Soon after, he enters the open corridor that is common to the hamlets of Schmellenhof on the left hill, Stangenbach in the valley at the inlet of the longest side valley from the Pfaffenklinge and Greuthof. Here it flows through the only larger valley settlement of Stangenbach, after which it moves again in partly open floodplains between forest slopes.

The Stangenbach finally empties after a 4.0 km long, west-south-west to south-south-west course with an average bed gradient of about 31 ‰ to about 375  m above sea level. NHN and thus about 125 meters below its source from the left and finally northeast at the Wüstenroter Lohmühle into the Lauter, which is only a little longer here.

Catchment area

The Stangenbach has a catchment area of ​​4.6 km². In terms of natural space , it is located on the north-eastern edge of the sub-area of ​​the southwestern Löwenstein Mountains of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains to the neighboring sub-area of ​​the Vorderer Mainhardter Wald .

It has an approximately pear-shaped shape with the point in the southwest at the confluence with the Lauter tributary of the Murr and it extends from the junction of Wüstenroter Wesleystraße from the district road at Spatzenhof about 3.2 km to the southwest to the confluence, across it it measures the widest point 2.2 km.

The northernmost point is on the summit of the Löwensteiner Horkenberg at 549  m above sea level. NHN , where the catchment area of ​​the Bernbach rests briefly, which drains over the Brettach to the lower Kocher . From there, the now north-northeastern watershed follows the edge of the corridor island around the Chausseehaus and the Spatzenhof to the northeasternmost point near the source, behind which lies the source area of ​​the Fichtenberger Rot , which is heading towards the upper Kocher. The subsequent eastern watershed climbs the Stangenberg ( 559  m above sea level ) and then runs southwards to the Raitelberg ( 561  m above sea level ) on the western edge of the settlement area and the clearing island of Wüstenrot, whose drainage is from the Tiefenbach to the upper Fichtenberger Rot. .

From the Raitelberg the catchment area border then runs on the mountain ridge Heßberg ( 505.6  m above sea level ) southwest to the mouth at about 375  m above sea level. NHN ; Beyond this part of the total watershed, the Buchenbach flows almost parallel to the Stangenbach and a little further down into the Lauter, which drains over the Murr noticeably above the Kocher into the Neckar . From the mouth upwards, the right, western watershed follows the ridge of the ridge towards the upper Lautertal almost exactly north to the Horkenberg summit again in the north, touching the Greuthof on the outside; this ridge only reaches 500  m above sea level again at the foot of the Horkenberg . NHN .

At least three quarters of the altitude between 375 and 559  m above sea level. NHN lying catchment area are forested. In its center lies a clearing island that crosses the valley around the Wüstenrot hamlets Schmellenhof, Stangenbach and Greuthof, a narrow strip in the east towards Wüstenrot is also in the open corridor, in which there are also some houses in the village. Otherwise, only the Lohmühle residential area is part of the catchment area. Of this, a section of less than 0.8 km² is in the north, a completely uninhabited hillside forest area around the Horkenberg , part of the area of ​​the small town of Löwenstein and a tiny snippet at the Lohmühle part of Beilstein , the vast majority of the remainder belongs to the municipality of Wüstenrot .

NHN from the left and finally northeast into the upper "Spiegelberger" Lauter . The stream has a total length of 4.0 km and a catchment area of ​​4.6 km, the Lauter itself to dortjon is only 4.3 km long and a 5.9 km sub-catchment area.

geology

The source of the Stangenbach and the higher of its tributaries - like something from the brook from the Pfaffenklinge  - are located near the border between the Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein Formation ) and the marl overlying it ( Trossingen Formation ), which is in the ring around the three last Black Jura humps here Horkenberg , Stangenberg and Raitelberg are located on the north-western edge of the Keuperberge of the Swabian-Franconian Forest . The runs then stay in the Stubensandstein down to the mouth of the Stangenbach.

The Stangenbachquelle lies close to the edge of the catchment area of ​​the more important upper Fichtenberger Rot , which ends in a pointed western wedge in front of the Horkenberg. The red itself arises only half a kilometer to a kilometer northwest to northeast from the Stangenbach origin - the views of its source differ somewhat - and runs in a very shallow valley south-southeast to the upper Kocher, where it starts at about 40-45 m for the first 4 km Height loses, while the Stangenbach digs itself about 125 m deep into its steep Kerbtal on its equally long course, i.e. has about three times as much gradient. The same applies to the Brettach tributary Bernbach on the north side of the wedge to the Keuper step edge. This shows the greater erosion power of the streams draining on the more direct route to the Rhine compared to the red, which historically has drainage towards the Danube .

Geotopes

On the southern slope of the Horkenberg in the Steinfelsklinge , in the Säuhagenklinge east of the mountain and in the Pfaffenklinge west of Wüstenrot there are outcrops in the Stubensandstein with geomorphological formations typical of the landscape. On the northern edge of the catchment area by the Chausseehaus there is a sand pit, also in the Stubensandstein, in which pebbles are found, also northeast of the hamlet of Stangenbach on the slope of the Stangenberg. Angulate sandstone from the Black Jurassic is exposed in an abandoned quarry on the western slope of the Raitelberg.

Nature and protected areas

The upper Säuhagenklinge and the upper Steinfelsklinge are natural monuments, as is a wetland at the mouth of the Säuhagenklinge and the upper Pfaffenklinge with the silver gallery. The Aue of the Lower Valley from the inflow from the direction of the Heßberg summit is part of the Spiegelberger Lautertal landscape protection area with side valleys and adjacent areas . Between Horkenberg in the north and Schmellenhof in the south, a section of the Upper Valley is defined as the Wüstenrot-Schmellenberg water protection area .
