The Strassbach in front of its mouth at Friedberg

The Straßbach is an almost seven kilometers long right and western tributary of the Wetter in the western area of ​​the Hessian Wetteraukreis , coming from the Taunus , carrying water at times and in sections. After ¼ km in the forest, its course leads through arable land and industrial areas. It crosses a highway ( A 5 ), two main roads ( B 455 and B 3 ), and two railway lines ( railway Friedrichsdorf-Friedberg and Main-Weser line ). Its mouth lies under the weather bridge of a third railway line, the Friedberg – Hanau railway line .

Surname

Its name is reminiscent of the Straßheim desert .

geography

course

The Straßbach rises at an altitude of about 252  m above sea level. NHN in a deciduous forest southwest of the Friedberg district of Ockstadt on its grounds, west of the A 5 and a much-used forest path, east and below the Taunus peaks Mainzer Kopf or Dachskopf / Steinkopf ⊙ . In the valley between Mainzer Kopf in the south and Dachskopf / Steinkopf in the north there is a run that leads near the source of the Strassbach and flows into the drainage ditch of a forest path. Above the source, other drainage ditches and ponds can be seen that at times carry water.

After a few steps eastwards down the slope, it is carried out under a much-used forest path with a resilient water-bound cover, which roughly parallel to the A 5 motorway connects Ockstadt, where it is connected to Usinger Straße , and Ober-Rosbach . On the northeast side of this passage , embedded in the forest floor, there is a facility for the natural gas pipeline "Frankfurterleitung" parallel to the A 5. In front of the approximately 75 m distant and 50 m long passage with a square cross-section under the motorway, open into an elaborately fortified one Construction first from the left and north from a ditch a small tributary (source area about ½ km dep1northwest of the source) and a little further, directly on the highway, drainage ditches from the left and right (the latter is connected to the run from the valley further up and to the west) . On the east side of the motorway, the Straßbach flows in an approximately 125 m long run (with a waterfall) to another, less well-reinforced and used forest path that also runs parallel to the motorway. This path joins Hardbäumchesweg in the north at a natural gas transfer station west of Ockstadt, just west of the golf course clubhouse , in the south it connects to the Löwenhof and the Ober-Rosbach network of paths, about ½ km from the municipal boundarydep1 . On the west side of this path, the Straßbach flows about ⅛ km dep1southwards and then runs 90 ° eastwards under the path. It flows through, lined with trees, north of the Löwenhof over a dep1length of ¼ km , which has a pond on the eastern edge in a swampy area, which is fed by a ditch from the Bornwäldchen . From the left and north, a drain from the meadow flows into the Straßbach in front of a path . The natural monument Alteiche am Löwenhof is located south of the passage .

Soon below the path, the Straßbachdep1 becomes a part of the Ockstadt golf course, which extends to the north, for a distance of about ½ km . On the right bank, on the south side, two former fish ponds are irrigated, from this section the stream gives the impression of being straightened. Behind the end of the golf course it turns to the southeast at river kilometer 5.435 and hurries largely treeless to the crossing under the B 455 (km 5.2). Below it, it takes up the original eastward direction. In the field it flows about ½ km dep1through a gallery forest . At km 4.6, an approximately 2 km long ditch flows from the left and north, which begins today north of the Löwenhof in the forest on the motorway, crosses the golf course in a west-east direction, leaves it to the southeast, the B 455 and after about ⅛ km takes dep1a south course to the Straßbach . The ditch temporarily and locally carries water.

Below a paved field path that crosses it at km 4.6, the Straßbach enters an approximately 3 hectare grassland area, partly covered with fruit trees, on which it can meander a little, lined with deciduous trees. At km 4.45 it flows through a structure in which it is laboriously tapped to irrigate the fish ponds on the right bank - the largest is over 1 hectare in size . Beavers have lived here since the 2010s . On the left bank is the corridor An der Straßheimer Kirche , which points to the desolation that gives it its name. Immediately below the pond, the Straßbach crosses under the Friedrichsdorf – Friedberg railway line at km 3.94 and crosses the uppermost part of the Sauerweide corridor , which is used because of its use. Wetting was abandoned. Below the paved field path at km 3.90 begins a 1¼ km dep1long stretch of arable land, mainly used as grassland, which is straightened by land consolidation at the beginning of the 20th century and planted on one side with high recognition value with tall alder trees , which extends to the Friedberg town limits where, instead of alders, increasingly crumbling willows were planted today . The border between the districts of Ockstadt and Friedberg lies at km 3.59 on a field and cycle path from Ockstadt to Ober-Rosbach, which crosses the railway line in the north on ramps planted like an avenue with large walnut trees . At km 3.6, the B 3 crosses the stream on a clear and 125 m long bridge. A ditch runs from the springs on the west side of the southern ramp of the dirt road to the ramp of the higher-lying B 3, which flows under the B 3 bridge from the left and north into the Straßbach . It also carries water at times, as does the 50 m long ditch on the west side of Frankfurter Strasse , which flows from the right and south. Up to the city limits, the brook has dug several meters deep into the loamy soil.

After crossing under Frankfurter Strasse , the Straßbach comes within the scope of the "Industrial Area South" development plan from the early 1980s on a narrow plot of land north of the Friedberg road maintenance depot, on which there is a weir to dam the water. In front of the first passage under a road, a small ditch opens out from the left from an approximately ½ dep1large natural meadow property with large trees on which bat boxes are hung. The masonry passage with a large cross-section under the street "Am Straßbach" has inlets downstream that feed surface runoff from the sealed areas of the properties and traffic areas of the industrial area into the stream unchecked. This is the beginning of an approximately 1¼ km dep1long and 20 m narrow gallery forest of densely set and therefore still small alders and willows , which heavily shade the ground and the water. A main collector is set into the ground on its right edge , over which a driveway has been built. At river kilometer 2.34, the outflow of the Friedberger Pfingstbrunnens flows from the left and north , whose constantly flowing water flows 70 m away from the stream from the spring enclosed in a wall. In front of Freseniusstraße , a berm has been built in the trapezoidal trench of the Straßbach to alleviate peak runoff. The generously dimensioned masonry passage under the street has elaborate inlets downstream.

A new development plan applies from Freseniusstraße . Over a length of more than ½ km dep1, the Straßbach flows through a green belt up to 60 m wide, which is cut by several transverse footpaths and bridges, on a fenced private property, through which the sewage collector also leads under the route. Still in the area of ​​application of the development plan, the Entengraben flows to the right and south at km 1.35 , a tiny body of water that is only 225 m long today , reaching to a field path, the Römerweg , which usually does not carry any water. A flat, approximately 100 m wide valley can be seen in the agricultural area to the south. At its end there is an old passage under the Steinbrücker Weg ⊙ , like the Entengraben coming from the west .

Opposite the mouth of the Entengraben , an unpaved basin has been built to the north and left of the Straßbach to absorb the surface runoff from the car park to the north. A technical device is used to throttle the dammed water into a short ditch that flows from the left and north at km 1.29. To the east of the bridge over the dirt road at km 1.2, a sewage collector has been laid on the left bank at a distance of about 15 m. The stream is lined with a few trees, mostly covered with tendrils of blackberries and herbs. Its water level is meters below the edge of the terrain . Only on the last ¼ km dep1before the Main-Weser Railway does it move closer to the edge of the terrain. Its bank vegetation becomes less dense, trees made of hardwood such as walnut appear. The passage in the embankment is similarly elaborate and ornamentally made of red sandstone as that of the Säckelgraben . For the third track from the Görbelheim junction , which runs on the east side of the embankment , the passage was extended to a total of 100 m with a functional concrete structure . For the last 350 m to Römerstraße or Landesstraße 3351, the Straßbach is again accompanied by alders. Its last 150 m to the mouth at an altitude of about 125  m above sea level. NHN from the right with the coming of the Northeast weather it flows rehabilitated by a closely planted with alder compensation area for intervention is the realization of the development plan no. 40 large in the Friedberger core city and by a total of nearly 7,500 ha conservation area Auenverbund Wetterau .. The mouth is about 100 m below the mouth of the Usa , almost ½ km above the Görbelheimer Mühle and almost directly under the railway viaduct of the Friedberg – Hanau railway line . dep1

Although it is the south-eastern edge of Friedberg, the boundaries of the Friedberg core city and the districts of Ossenheim and Bruchenbrücken meet at the mouth of the Straßbach . Wetter and Straßbach erode the banks, relocate their respective course, the boundaries bound to boundary stones and coordinates do not follow these changes. This is currently the estuary on the Ossenheim area.

Celery in the fountain basin

The Strasbourg Bach is one of very few known waters in the Wetteraukreis, in which Apium nodiflorum or (recent scientific name) Helosciadium nodiflorum occurs, just the Knotenblütige celery (botany always a she ). So far, findings from the USA's river system , especially the Seebach or Leihgraben and their tributaries , are known for the Wetteraukreis . From the river system of the weather only the finds have been in Hechtgraben the Friedberger district Dorheim listed.

Finds have been reported in the Wetterau district in a ditch to the Wetter in the north of the NSG Salzwiesen von Münzenberg , as well as, already downwards, in a ditch in the NSG Ludwigsquelle , east of the Karben district of Okarben , which flows into the Nidda .

The Friedberger Pfingstbrunnen ⊙ in the industrial area south drains into the Straßbach and is at least secured by the development plan as a small recreational area.
