The devil's blade is a blade a good quarter of a kilometer long in the forest area of ​​the Roßfeld district of Crailsheim . The stream that arises in it, probably called Ackersbach , then runs through the forest and finally also the corridor markings of the Großaltdorf district of Vellberg, also in the Schwäbisch Hall district in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg . After a total of less than two kilometers, roughly west-northwest, it flows into the upper Aalenbach half a kilometer before the hamlet of Lorenzenzimmern .

Surname

The brook name is probably Ackersbach and the name Devil's Blade instead chosen on the official waterway map is probably an emergency name chosen after the name of the short spring blade.

geography

course

The devil's blade begins in the southwestern tip of the Roßfeld district marking in the Gewann Hohenschlag in the western fork of a forest path star, in which, near the intersection, the stream flowing through it at about 463  m above sea level. NHN uses. The narrow, 200-300 meters long and up to 10 meters deep blade with short side blades and source horizons pulls westward. Then, from about the boundary to Großaltdorf, the valley cut becomes wider, the stream meanders on a further, damp, bedrock overgrown with alders and ash trees and shows pools in the course. The valley between the Gehren forest troughs on the left and Spitalwald on the right with small side blades from the south turns for the next 400 meters to the north-northwest.

At a width of one meter or just below, the mostly little water-bearing brook flows under alders on the partly flat bank and less meandering through the forest, its bed is muddy to gravel. On this section to the edge of the corridor, a longer side blade runs to the right. Shortly before this, the stream is accompanied by a farm road on the right. In the corridor, which is initially only open to the left, the stream runs as a ditch without trees and almost no bush on the bank between the field channels Wolfsee on the right and Ackersbach on the left more and more to the west. From a field path cross, it then follows on the right-hand side the branch of the road that is moving to the northwest and then soon flows about half a kilometer before the outskirts of Lorenzenzimmern at about 414  m above sea level. NHN from the left into the upper Aalenbach .

The brook, probably called Ackersbach , flows after a 1.7 km long run with an average bottom slope of about 28 ‰, around 49 meters below its origin at the beginning of the Teufelsklinge

Catchment area

The brook from the Devil's Blade has a 1.2 km² catchment area, which , in terms of natural space , lies far predominantly and far beyond the tree line in the lower area of ​​the Burgberg Vorhöhen and Speltach Bay of the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains and only with the small gusset in the lower area of ​​the Haller level of the Hohenloher and Haller level . The with about 505  m above sea level. NHN's highest point is on the northern watershed in Hohenschlag on a small forest plateau.

In turn, the catchment areas of the following neighboring waters are adjacent:

  • In the north the brook pulls out of the badger construction blade in an approximately west-northwest direction a little further up to the Aalenbach ;
  • behind the short north-eastern watershed lies the headwaters of the first major tributary Buchklingenbach to Maulach , which drains into the Jagst , while the Aalenbach outflow reaches the Kocher via the Bühler ;
  • in the south lies the catchment area of ​​the Muckenbach and then the immediate drainage area of ​​its receiving water Lanzenbach , which also feeds the Jagst via the Speltach ;
  • the Brühlbach on the other side of the Bergäcker plateau spur in the west closes further downwards and feeds the Aalenbach again.

Around a third of the catchment area in the east, all of it forest, is in the Roßfeld district of Crailsheim , the rest in the district of Großaltdorf in Vellberg . About two thirds of the entire catchment area are forested. The open parts are in the west, on the plateau spur in the feather and above all mountain fields everything is under the plow, on the slope of Kührain to the north there are bushes and orchards, including Ackersbach in the Gewannen . Krautgartenwiesen and Wolfsee up to the Aalenbach not only fields but also meadows.

The area is unpopulated.

Origin of the stream from the Teufelsklinge / Ackersbach at about 463  m above sea level. NHN in Waldgewann Hohenschlag at the beginning of its blade crack in the western limb of a spider on the forest path from Ilshofen - Eckartshausen towards Frankenhardt - Oberspeltach .

  • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svgAbout a hundred meters east and up the source is a forest pond at about 470  m above sea level. Below 0.1 ha.
  • (Four blade tributaries), from the left and south to about 445– 436  m above sea level. NHN on the initially western section of the run, all under 0.2 km and under 0.1 km². Arise at around 450  m above sea level. NHN in Gehren forest area .
  • (Blade inflow), from the right and east to about 432  m above sea level. NHN about 150 meters before the forest exit, about 0.1 km and about 0.1 km². Arises at about 440  m above sea level. NHN in Waldgewann Spitalholz .

Mouth of the brook from the Teufelsklinge / Ackersbach from the left and finally southeast to about 414  m above sea level. NHN about 0.5 km east of the outskirts of Vellberg - Lorenzenzimmern in the upper Aalenbach . The stream is 1.7 km long and has a 1.2 km² catchment area.

geology

In the vast majority of the catchment area the Gipskeuper ( Grabfeld Formation ) is to be found; only on the north-eastern edge does a plateau in the * reed sandstone ( Stuttgart formation ) rise above it . The stream soon runs in the middle of a strip of floodplain clay, which merges with the Aalenbach near the mouth, which is quite wide there. At the foot of the restless Kührain (northeast slope below the mountain fields ) a small island of washed-off terrain extends to close to the left bank.

  1. ↑ a b The following circumstances indicate a brook name Ackersbach , which is not explicitly specified neither on the water network layer (AWGN) nor on the water body name layer : The fact that the two official water layers designate the creek with the devil's blade is probably due to a not uncommon use of the name of the spring blade, which is conspicuously entered on the topographic map layer only along the upper, actually blade-shaped valley section in the forest.
