The Untere Ehegraben is an alluvial ditch to the right of the Ehebach in the area of ​​the municipality of Diespeck in the Middle Franconian district of Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim , which flows into it from the right and west just before its own confluence with the Aisch .

Little further up the valley to the Ehenbach the resultant on the hills running Ehegraben also be right.

geography

course

The lower Ehegraben begins its trench course at about 285  m above sea level. NHN about 300 meters east of the small Diespecker village Ehe at the bend of a dirt road in the wide and flat right Ehebach-Aue, less than 230 meters from this. In parallel to its main direction, the ditch, almost entirely free of woody vegetation, runs east to northeast. About 300 meters north of the community's Bruckenmühle , it flows out at about 284  m above sea level. NHN next to a footbridge over this into the Ehebach, which flows less than a hundred meters further into the Aisch.

Catchment area

The Untere Ehegraben has a catchment area of ​​around 0.8 km², which extends southward on the right Ehebach slope up to the Birkenberg and there its maximum height of around 355  m above sea level. Reached NHN . The area naturally belongs to the Aischgrund , politically, apart from a small gusset around the highest point, which is part of the town of Neustadt an der Aisch , the municipality of Diespeck. The whole area is unpopulated and used for agriculture, with the exception of some forest on the lower slope, on the Birkenberg and on the Mühlgraben-Rinne. The geological layers that occur are the sandstone keuper on the heights, deeper the gypsum keuper ( grave field formation ) and the floodplain sediment band around the Ehebach, in which the water itself lies.

Tributaries and lakes

Only two ditches run towards the lower Ehebach from the right edge of the floodplain, which begin at the edge of the NEA 15 district road that runs along there and are 150 meters long at the most. The topographic map notes a few small inconsistent puddles to the right of the Lower Ehebach, which can also be hinted at in aerial photos. Towards the lower reaches of the valley the Mühlgraben valley runs down northeast from the Birkenberg, but at least in the floodplain it is not drained by an open watercourse.
