 The confluence of the Steinbach in the Neckar |

The Steinbach is a 4.6 km long creek in the western Odenwald in Baden-Württemberg , which flows into the Neckar from the right and north in the Heidelberg district of Ziegelhausen .
geography
course
The brick houses Steinbach arise on Dossenheim forest markings in the Allmendwald in a warped valley basin east to southeast of the White Stone from several blades , the highest of which is about 400 m above sea level. NHN arises. It then flows south into the still wooded area of the Heidelberg district of Ziegelhausen, where after a little more than half of its course from the left, the Peterstaler Bach, which is not much shorter there, runs at an acute angle, which previously ran through the eponymous place Peterstal of the district . Furthermore, the Steinbach flows south and now often turned through the brick houses settlement area that fills the valley and climbs the slopes. Finally, at the confluence of its valley road, it joins the riverside road that accompanies the Neckar on the right at around 108 m above sea level. NHN in the Neckar.
Catchment area
The brick houses Steinbach has a catchment area of 11.0 km². The longest stretch is about 4.7 km from the Langer Kirschbaum saddle in the north over the uppermost valley basin of the left source branch of Peterstaler Bach to the mouth in Ziegelhausen in the south. Across it, it is no more than 3.8 km wide. The northern watershed is the ridge from the Weißenstein ( 548 m above sea level ) in the northwest over the Dossenheimer Kopf ( 539 m above sea level ) and the pass saddle Langer Kirschbaum (almost 500 m above sea level ), which is clearly marked by a high path in nature . NN ) up to the vicinity of the Holzapfelbaum saddle a little east of the Geigersheidsattels ; on the other side, the catchment area of the Kanzelbach tributary Katzenbach , then the Steinach tributary Hilsbach borders. Then the watershed in the Kameralwald bends south and runs over the Sitzbuche first to the Suhl , here also runs across the Schafbach to the Steinach, then on to the dance floor , a piece on the Hahnberg ridge and from this down to the mouth; On this section the short Bärenbach runs parallel to the Steinbach to the Neckar in the east .
From the mouth, the border climbs the Köpfel on the west side and from there uphill to the Einsiedlerhütte in the southern Centwald ; At a short distance from the ridge, the short Mausbach strives southeast to the Neckar. Then it runs on a wider ridge about the route of the elevated road northwards back to the White Stone. In the western neighboring valley, the Mühlbach flows southwards to Handschuhsheim , which then, now under the name Rombach , runs to the aforementioned Kanzelbach.
The highest mountain in the catchment area is the 548 m high White Stone on its northwest corner. Almost everywhere on the northern watershed, the terrain is over 500 m above sea level. NN , the western and eastern ones are initially up to 50 m below this level and drop down little for a long time, finally steeply to the Neckar.
Well over half of the catchment area is forested. Its open areas, all in the valley, are built on, with the exception of the slopes that are too steep or turned away from the sun, in the south of the valley over a large breadth of the settlement areas of Ziegelhausen that have grown up the slopes. The Steinbach-Oberlauf up to the inlet of the Petertaler Bach is completely wooded, the strongly narrowing settlement band along the valley road L 596 upwards follows this shorter brook branch instead and goes uninterruptedly into the place Peterstal , which then together with the open corridor at a height of slightly below 350 m above sea level NN runs out sporadically before the serpentine stretch of the state road.
Tributaries
Tributaries from the source to the mouth. Unless otherwise noted, water lengths according to the water network layer of the LUBW map services, heights according to the background map there. Other sources for the information are noted.
Source of the Steinbach in the Allmendwald about 1.2 km east of the White Stone on Dossenheimer Waldgemarkung at about 375 m above sea level. NHN . The stream initially flows southwest.
- Slightly longer source branch, from the right and northwest at the first short valley direction to about 335 m above sea level. NHN , approx. 0.3 km. Arises closer to the White Stone, at about 400 m above sea level. NHN .
- (Inflow), from the right and northwest to 312 m above sea level. NHN , approx. 0.3 km. Arises in a valley from the White Stone at about 350 m above sea level. NHN , the actual source is the Dörrbrunnen at about 435 m above sea level. NHN . From here, cross over to the Heidelberg city limits and south run in a narrow corridor.
- (Bach from the Sengesseloch ), from the right and west in the again completely wooded lower Kreuzgrund at about 225 m above sea level. NHN , approx. 0.6 km. Arises at about 330 m above sea level. NHN . There is a water reservoir at the side valley inlet of the run, which previously barely dried out even in summer. At the mouth of the valley there is rhyolite . Here the course bends to the south-east until the confluence with the next.
- Peterstaler Bach , from the left on the outskirts of Ziegelhausen / Peterstal near a rhyolite rock, 2.2 km. The Steinbach itself is only 2.6 km long here. Arises at about 315 m above sea level. NHN at the northernmost houses in Peterstal. South-southwest run to the mouth, from which the Steinbach then runs south-southeast, often verdolt.
- Meschgraben , from the left verdolt to about 140 m above sea level. NHN , 0.5 km. Source at about 190 m above sea level. NHN in the valley basin from the pen .
Mouth of the Steinbach in Ziegelhausen at 107.8 m above sea level. NN from the right and north into the Neckar at river kilometer 29 at the confluence of the valley road L 596 following the stream into the L 534 following the right bank of the river.
geology
The Steinbach runs through the layers of the Lower Buntsandstein and through granite at the valley exit , on which loess sediments are sometimes superimposed. In the middle of the valley at the confluence of the two large spring branches there is an isolated rhyolite deposit that is related to the Permian volcanism near Schriesheim / Dossenheim .
history
Already in the year 850 a place name derived from the river Steimbach is mentioned in the Lorsch Codex . The place has not survived. The Peterstaler Bach also originally bears the name Steinbach. As early as 1432, the point of confluence was referred to as “between the two stone ponds”. The new name is used today to differentiate.
In the local dialect the stream is called Schdååbach . This is also the unofficial name for the settlement area in the brick houses (not in the Peterstaler) Steinbachtal. All streams in the region are female gender .
A mill channel was derived from the confluence of the two stone streams, which flowed along the western slope of the valley and fed several mills. Remnants of the canal are still preserved today. Another Mühlkanal led from the exit of the Steinbach valley at the foot of the slope of the Neckarhelle along parallel to the Neckar to the west to the lower reaches of the Mausbach, where both waters together fed the monastery mill of the Neuburg monastery .

In the 16th century, the Elector of the Palatinate had three fish ponds built above the village of Ziegelhausen am Steinbach, which were dammed by dams, and a pleasure house with a fountain was built. This place was called Fürstenbrunn . Between 1760 and 1769, Elector Karl Theodor von der Pfalz had 1200 river pearl mussels fetched from the Bavarian Forest and inserted into the Steinbach between Peterstal and Ziegelhausen. However, the settlement failed and finally the pearl mussels were moved to the Steinach between Altneudorf and Schönau , where they remained until the second half of the 20th century.
