The Vorbach is a left tributary of the Tauber near Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the Ansbach district in Bavaria .

geography

course

The Vorbach arises under the name Heiligenbronngraben near the hamlet of Hummertsweiler in the town of Schrozberg in the northeast of the Schwäbisch Hall district on the edge of an east-facing dirt road, which it follows in a slight north curve to an approximately 0.8 hectare pond immediately south of the larger hamlet of Heiligenbronn he dines, then moves on in an easterly direction and soon crosses the border to Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the Ansbach district in Bavaria.

Then he takes from the right the half-long source stream Keitelhofer Graben , which is about 0.8 km long and comes from the Schrozberger Keitelhof and also last crossed the border. Immediately afterwards, again from the right, the approximately 0.9 km long Kreuzwiesengraben flows from west of the Wildenhöhe . The creek then runs in an initially still quite shallow basin between the Rothenburg suburbs of Hemmendorf in the north and Leuzenbronn in the south, from the latter the 0.7 km long village ditch flows along the connecting road , after the village one more time from the right only temporarily A water-bearing tributary of 1.3 km in length, called Langwiesengraben , which drains a 0.4 hectare pond at its uppermost course directly on the southern edge of the Leutenbronner Weichbild and then some smaller fish ponds along the middle course.

Then it reaches it from the northwest and thus for the first time from the left of the Creglingen hamlet Reutsachen, the 1.0 km long Reutsachsen Graben . This, like himself, already runs a few hundred meters in a deep, forested hollow. On both sides of the tributary the valley slopes are excavated in old quarries, in the north there is a 0.4 hectare quarry pond. Then the Vorbach runs through the Rothenburg district of Vorbach , behind which the forests in the notched valley come down the slopes again almost to the banks. The connecting road to the village follows the creek down into the valley, which after a further one and a half kilometers runs across from the Rothenburg Bronnenmühle after a total length of 6.6 km from the left into the upper Tauber.

Catchment area

The catchment area of ​​the Vorbach covers 11.1 km². It has the shape of a 7 km long, west-east oriented spindle, from a road junction from the L 1055 in Hochholz in the west of Hummertsweiler to the confluence in the east near Rothenburg. At right angles to this, the width remains below 3 km everywhere.

In the north and northeast of the catchment area of is Hohbachs to, in the southeast of the Blink Bach . In the south-west the more important Schandtauber competes , in the north-west on two short stretches first the Herrgottsbach and then the Schmerbach flowing towards it . All of these drain into the pigeons .

Except for the two outermost spindle peaks in the high wood and on the slopes of the lower valley, in which there is forest, the entire catchment area lies in an open landscape, which is almost exclusively used for arable farming. Settlement focuses are the three larger hamlets Heiligenbronn (zu Schrozberg ) in the west, Reutsachsen (zu Creglingen ) in the north and Leuzenbronn (zu Rothenburg ob der Tauber ) in the south, all of which are on the plateau, while the Bachtal itself is almost uninhabited.
