geography

course

Waschbach

The Waschbach itself arises at about 368  m above sea level. NHN between the newer residential area Grundwiesen in the Hessental district and the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway line and runs constantly southwest. It takes directly ( Wacholderbach , Greutbach ) or indirectly some inflows from the Keuperstufenrand over the Hessentaler Halde on its left and then enters a steeper Kerbsohlental after the roundabout between the center of Hessental and its train station, into which the road from Hessental follows it Steinbach accompanied. Towards the end of it, at an old shell limestone quarry, it reaches its long upper course Pflaumenbach from the right at an acute angle . Accompanied further by the road, it flows into a former right loop of the valley of the Kocher, which runs in a wide hollow around the mountain of the Comburg . Walking towards the upward part of the loop, after two small razor blades it enters the center of Steinbach from the left slope. Soon afterwards it flows into the old village church next to the river bridge from the right and finally southeast at about 277  m above sea level. NHN in the middle cooker .

Plum stream

The longer right plum brook begins at about 385  m above sea level. NHN as an initially very straight ditch in a hollow between fields a little south of the Bühlertalstrasse opposite the Schwäbisch Hall- Hessentaler industrial area east and initially moves in a very flat course westwards towards the old town center of the Hessental district. He then passes this on its southern edge; New development areas also belonging to the district were built at a certain distance to the south, so that the stream here mostly only runs less than a hundred meters from the main thoroughfare (L 1056), comparatively unaffected. On this section the Vogelgraben reaches it from the north through the village Verdolt, but in a clearly recognizable hollow . Soon after that, the Seeleswiesenbach flows again from the right and verdolt through the village , the course of which can hardly be seen in the populated area. Towards the end of the village, the Pflaumenbach crosses under the L 1056 and then runs in its soon-to-be-wooded blade to the southwest until it crosses under the road to Steinbach, next to which it is located at about 320  m above sea level. NHN combined with the noticeably shorter left Waschbach overflow.

Catchment area

The Waschbach drains a catchment area of ​​8.4 km² to the west into the middle Kocher . From a natural perspective, the largest part of it lies in the lower area of ​​the Haller level of the Hohenloher and Haller level . In it all of the Waschbach and Pflaumenbach run. The southern edge of the catchment area from the slope of the Hessentaler Halde up to the plateau around the Einkorn, on the other hand, belongs to the Limpurger Berge sub-area of the Hohenloher and Haller Plains. The Greutbach tributary and its left tributaries arise there .

After an initial up and down over the Comburg, its north-western watershed pulls up the slope of the old Kocherschlinge to the western Haller level and on to the area of ​​the airfield north of Hessental. On the outside, an unnamed short stream flows into the downward Kocher loop on this section, later the Hall Badersklingenbach , which also runs from the right into the Kocher, competes . Even more than this is the following north-eastern watershed against the first of the left Bühler tributaries Otterbach at heights of mostly just under 400  m above sea level. NHN in the terrain usually not very prominent.

The catchment area border then climbs in an arc that extends to the east through the already wooded Hasenbühl onto the eaves of the Limpurger Mountains , which rise to an altitude of 500  m above sea level. NHN stops and at the highest point of the entire Waschbach catchment area in the Bauernschnäue once 512.3  m above sea level. Reached NHN . On the outside, the catchment area of ​​the Sulzdorf Schwarzenlachenbach rises briefly one after the other , then that of the more important Fischach for a long time . From the north-west spur of Einkorn (approx. 510  m above sea level ) of the Limpurger Mountains, the sheath, which separates the drainage area of ​​the Remsbach , which again runs directly to the Kocher, rises quickly, only again approximately to the level of the Haller level around Gschlachtenbretzingen (there around 380  m above sea level ), then in a short north-east run before the upward Kocher valley cut, finally a second step down to the mouth.

It has a catchment area of ​​8.4 km².

Localities

Places on the run with their affiliations. Only the names of the lowest nesting level denote neighboring settlements.

In the south-western catchment area there is also the Burgbretzingen residential area and partly the village of Gschlachtenbretzingen in the Michelbach an der Bilz community .

geology

The two upper reaches of the Waschbach begin in the transition area between Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ) and the Gipskeuper above ( Grabfeld Formation ). After a very flat course at the beginning, they reach the edge of the village to the Klinge (longer right upper course) or after the inlet of the Greutbach (left upper course) the Upper Muschelkalk , where they then form steep blades in which the brooks tumble over small rock banks, if not, as sometimes in summer, the bed is completely dry. Only in the village of Steinbach does the combined stream enter the Middle Muschelkalk , into which it soon flows.

Up on the edge of the Keuper bergland to the southeast, between the Bauernschnäue and the Einkorn, there is still silica sandstone ( Hassberge Formation ) in the catchment area , below which, in a narrow strip on the slope, Untere Bunte Marl ( Steigerwald Formation ) spread out, below which in the southwest mostly narrow and only slightly broader reed sandstone in the east ( Stuttgart formation ). Underneath, in turn, lie broad clay slopes in the upper gypsum keuper, tapering flat at the foot, in which a number of almost always dry channels cut the upper slope and give the lower one a wavy character. A little above the name of the Oberllauf, the route of the Crailsheim – Heilbronn railway runs partly over layers of plaster of paris that were previously dismantled a little south of the watershed towards Michelbach - Gschlachtenbretzingen . On the northern edge of the catchment area, which is already part of the Haller level , loess loam layers lie around the Solpark district and to the west of it on the Unterkeuper .

At the old quarry at the inflow of the large right tributary Pflaumenbach , Upper Muschelkalk and Lettenkeuper are exposed. Coming from the Schwäbisch Haller Keckenburgmuseum, a geological nature trail leads through the Kocher valley and the lower Waschbach valley here and then further up to the Einkorn; At some stations, the landscape and the surrounding rocks are explained.

The Waschbach flows through the old Steinbacher Kochertal loop, which the river itself has left in the meantime and the Comburg towers on its oval circular mountain on the right above the Waschbach . Where it enters this at the foot of the Ödenbühlsteig, it falls over a three-meter high waterfall, which is heavily over-sintered with a rounded hump. The Steinbach local church St. Johann Baptist stands near the mouth on a lime sinter terrace ; some of the material can also be seen in the walls.

Protected areas

The valley areas to the west of the Hessental settlement boundary are, with the exception of the Steinbach settlement area, in the valley slopes nature reserve around Schwäbisch Hall , the northwest slope of the Limpurger Berge mostly up to the railway line in the landscape conservation area of ​​the northern part of the Limpurger Berge with slopes and areas of terrain between Hessental and Sulzdorf . Part of the Einkorn forest extends as a narrow strip from the eaves of the mountains down into the catchment area. The small Michelfelder area around Rauhenbretzingen and Burgbretzingen belongs to the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park .
