The Stockholzgraben is a brook on the suburb of Walxheim of the community of Unterschneidheim in the Ostalbkreis in northeastern Baden-Württemberg , which after less than three kilometers south-west of the village of Walxheim flows into the Jagst , which is much shorter here .

geography

course

The Stockholzgraben is created about 0.7 km northeast of the easternmost hamlet of Buchhausen in the city of Ellwangen at about 534  m above sea level. NHN just beyond the city limits to the Walxheim area of the community of Unterschneidheim . It begins its course in a narrow meadow between two forests, the larger of which, in the northeast, is called Stockholz . The body of water has no noticeable source, but begins as an initially inconspicuous, dead straight ditch in a meadow that extends south-east.

After leaving the Waldenge after about half a kilometer, it now flows in an only slightly curved course southwards, rarely separated from fields by more than a narrow strip of meadow. After about one and a half kilometers from the origin, the Stockholzgraben crosses under the K 3213 district road, which connects Buchhausen with Walxheim on the left slope, after it has widened to a tiny pond in front of the dam; a property in the outskirts of Walxheim is here on the shore.

Half a kilometer downhill flows from the northeast of the pile ditch , as well as the Stockholzgraben itself, an almost wood-free field ditch with a shorter length of 1.1 km, which contributes a partial catchment area of ​​about 0.8 km² and the only inflow of some importance. After another half a kilometer, the Stockholzgraben finally opens about 0.8 km southwest of the center of Walxheim from the right and north at about 516  m above sea level. NHN in the Jagst itself, which is less than 150 meters long , officially at a sparse pouring well on the left lower valley slope at about 519  m above sea level , officially identified by a sign as a Jagst source . NHN begins its course. Hydrologically, however, the water treated here is by far the more important upper course of the river.

The Stockholzgraben is 2.5 km long and falls on this route by about 15 meters, this corresponds to a mean bottom slope of only about 6 ‰, which roughly corresponds to the geological layer traps. It always runs noticeably closer to the eastern watershed.

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Stockholzgraben is about 2.5 km² and, viewed in terms of natural space , is located in the lower area of ​​the Pfahlheim-Rattstädter Liasplatten of the foreland of the eastern Swabian Alb . This Black Jurassic plateau shows little profile, the largest elevation on the northern tip of the catchment area only reaches about 548  m above sea level. NHN .

The area that drains over the Jagst to Neckar , Rhine and North Sea borders on the east side on the less prominent ridge from Stockholz in the northeast to Walxheim in the southeast to the catchment area of ​​the Schneidheimer Sechta , which competes here via its right tributaries Westeregraben and Aalbach and their outflow reached the Black Sea via Eger , Wörnitz and Danube . The eastern watershed is thus a section of the main European watershed .

Behind the less hydrologically important in the west, the Weihergraben leads the precipitation over the Röhlinger Sechta further down, however, also to the Jagst.

A little over a fifth of the catchment area consists of forest, it is in the north on both sides of the meadow floodplain that continues upwards over the origin, significantly less of it south-southwest of Buchhausen also on the watershed. In the open, fairly cleared hallway, the fields dominate the picture.

The Stockholzgraben runs entirely in the Walxheim suburb of the community of Unterschneidheim , which also includes most of the catchment area. Around Buchhausen in the northwest, a good quarter of this belongs to the Pfahlheim district marking of Ellwangen . Settlement there is limited to one or two properties from Bruchhausen and the one from Walxheim mentioned in the description of the course directly on the river.

Tributaries and lakes

  • Pfahlgraben , from the right and northwest to about 519  m above sea level. NHN across from Walxheim on the opposite slope, 1.1 km and approx. 0.8 km². Arises at about 532  m above sea level. NHN about half a kilometer south of Buchhausen on the boundary with Ellwangen. Usually runs close to grass paths.
  • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svg At the mouth of the Jagst there is a 0.1 hectare pond, but it probably drains to the official Jagst upper branch.
