The Steinbach is an almost 7 km long river in the commune Frankenhardt in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in northeastern Baden-Wuerttemberg , which at the Jagst left a Mühlkanal in the hamlet at the Steinbach Jagst flows. At the upper reaches it is called Honhardter Bach .

geography

course

The Steinbach arises under the name Honhardter Bach about 0.8 km east of the Frankenhardt hamlet of Vorderuhlberg, on the upper layer slope of the Rothalde, which slopes down from the silica sandstone plateau to the east to the Gipskeuper , from several intermittently pouring springs, the highest of which is about 480  m above sea level. NHN lies. It flows quite steadily from the origin to the mouth in an easterly to north-easterly direction. After about 0.2 km it briefly enters the hillside forest, after another 0.4 km it leaves it again in an already pronounced terrain furrow. Another 0.2 km downhill from the right it is reached its first tributary of approximately the same length, the Wagnersbach , which tapers from the south , whereupon it flows through the only 0.3 hectare large frog pond at the foot of Neuhaus.

After 1.3 km he reaches the 1.7 hectare reservoir Tiefensee at the Tiefensägmühle. Below this, a small ditch flows from the right from the broader lake corridor , which runs through the breach of an old lake dam and often only leads the short distance from the dam to the mouth.

After 2.9 km, the Honhardter Bach spans the bridge of the Mainkling-Honhardt road, from the right the 1.8 km long Buschbach reaches it . In a wide floodplain, he then enters the meadow corridor Dorfsee , located between a newer commercial area on the left and a new development area in the village of Honhardt , whereupon Honhardt's houses come close to him on both sides. It flows through the village under the road K 2671 Honhardt-Sandhof, here on the right near the bank is the former moated castle Honhardt .

About 0.2 km below the last houses in the village, the brook flows out of the Veldersklinge from the left , a 1.9 km long, flat and for the most part inconsistent inlet from the west into a rather inconspicuous hollow. At the latest from this point, about 2.3 km before the mouth, the stream is now called Steinbach .

Accompanied by the L 1068 on the left, it flows in a wide basin towards Steinbach an der Jagst, from the right it occasionally receives an inflow from the nearby, less than 0.3 ha large crab pool shortly after the Honhardt sewage treatment plant . It touches its mouth in the north, then crosses under the B 290 Crailsheim-Ellwangen and the Obere Jagstbahn one after the other , then in a short, parallel ditch at about 407  m above sea level. NHN flows almost in the opposite direction into the short Mühlkanal there on the left of the Jagst .

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Steinbach covers about 8.7 km² and extends roughly with the contour of a spindle from its 510.8  m above sea level. NHN highest point in the west-south-west near Vorderuhlberg north-north-east over 6.5 km to the mouth; perpendicular to it it is a little over 2 km wide. In terms of nature , the catchment area belongs to the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains . The southern parts of it, a strip from Vorderuhlberg in the west to Sandhof in the east over the edge of the steps to the Kieselsandstein ( Hassberge Formation ) and in it also the source, lie in the lower area of ​​the Ellwanger Mountains , the larger other part in the lower area of Burgberg Vorhöhen and Speltachbucht , in which the brook itself enters between Froschweiher and Tiefensee.

On the mostly higher right watershed on the south-south-east side, higher Jagst tributaries gradually adjoin the catchment areas , first that of the short Klingenbach , which flows over the same Mühlkanal , then that of the Goldbach , and finally that of the Sulzbach . Beyond the westernmost part of the right watershed at Vorderuhlberg is the headwaters of the Blinden Rot , which drains in a long run south to the drained.

On the left watershed, the catchment area of ​​the Stettbach follows one another in the northwest , in the north that of a much smaller one, like this one that feeds the Speltach , then longer further north to almost the Steinbach mouth that of the Brunnenbach , which is noticeably less downward than that Speltach in turn runs from the left to Jagst.

The catchment area lies entirely in the Honhardt district part of the Frankenhardt community .

  • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svgPasses the pond Krebslache at about 418  m above sea level. NHN at the right foot of the slope, under 0.3 ha.

Mouth of the Steinbach from the left and last but not least northwest at 407  m above sea level. NHN near Steinbach an der Jagst in the local Mühlkanal on the left of the upper Jagst . The brook is approx. 6.8 km long and has a catchment area of ​​approx. 8.7 km².

Nature and protected areas

The Steinbach runs from the Tiefensägmühle down in a straightened bed. From there to almost Steinbach there are occasional heather areas on the hillside. Above Honhardt, on the right slope of the valley, mostly in the catchment area, lies the small landscape protection area of ​​the eastern part of the Sandberg south of Honhardt .
