The Steigegraben is a 0.7 km long stream in the Main-Tauber district in the north of Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the Muckbach from the right and south at the beginning of Dittwar . In the local dialect of Dittwar, the Steigegraben and the path leading to the valley on the right edge of its cut in the terrain are both called Staach [ ʃdaːx ], corresponding to the regional expression for the southern German word Steige . Its limestone valley is also known as the knee crusher blade .
geography
course
The climbing ditch usually rises at about 285 m above sea level. NHN south of Dittwar, a district of Tauberbischofsheim , in a ditch overgrown by trees and bushes next to a field along which it runs north towards the place; if the weather permits, it can also arise a little higher in the valley. Slightly below, its razor crack begins , which is traversed by a dirt road a quarter of a kilometer below its usual origin. There his terrain trough, which is now overgrown with trees on both sides of the shoulders and cut into the valley floor, is already about 20 meters wide. At about 245 m above sea level. NHN suspends this furrow, the stream now flows along an orchard and then initially through the southern settlement area of Dittwar approximately north-northwest. After crossing under the Way of the Cross, it again runs openly in a vegetation-free ditch, which soon flows into the Muckbach from the right across from house No. 13 on Heckfelder Straße ( L 578 ) .
The Steiggraben has no significant tributaries. The steep path on its right slope connects Dittwar with Oberlauda in a neighboring valley, near its highest point it crosses the federal highway 81 .
Catchment area
The Steiggraben drains an area of around 0.8 km², which in natural terms belongs to the Umpfer-Wachbach-Riedel sub-area of the Tauberland . It is a landscape shaped by Muschelkalk , the brook itself first runs in the Upper , and finally in the Middle Muschelkalk . A fault line running from the southeast into the Muckbach valley and ending close to the mouth of the Steigegraben moves Middle Muschelkalk on the southwestern Hochscholle against Upper Muschelkalk downstream on the Tiefscholle.
The highest point in the catchment area is at the southern tip of the Gewann Zollstock on a dirt road branch at a little over 445 m above sea level. NHN . The upper Muckbach competes behind the left and western watershed from there to the mouth. From this the right watershed rises quickly to 292 m above sea level. NHN high grass mountain and then runs south-southeast to a little beyond the route of the federal highway 81 . Behind this ridge is the next right side valley Lerchengraben to Muckbach. From the southeast corner of the catchment area to about 441 m above sea level. NHN near the Dittwarer Berg and the motorway back to the southern tip, there is a short piece of south-southeastern watershed, behind which the Oberlaudaer Bach flows eastwards to the Tauber above the Muckbach estuary.
history
On June 21, 1984, Corpus Christi Day , heavy rain led to a flood disaster in the valleys of Muckbach and its tributaries as well as some neighboring waters. Dittwar and the surrounding communities were affected. The total damage caused was estimated at around 90 million German marks .
Wayside shrines on the Steigweg
There are two wayside shrines on the climbing path at the edge of the climbing ditch. The first is at the confluence of the Steigweg in the road towards Dittwar with the inscription “Gest. Martin Both 1731 - Ernestine Both and Emma Hammerich 1902. “The second with a representation of Pietà stands at the small wood on the upper path just before the motorway underpass. According to the inscription, it was built by Hans Martin Both in 1732. ⊙
Stations of the cross on the Steigweg
The way of the cross from 1747, which begins at the Dittwar cemetery, leads with its second and third station along the steep path before it flows right into the chapel forest and ascends to the cross chapel on Kreuzhölzle. Pilgrimages to Kreuzhölzle have been recorded on this route since 1670 .
