The Waschbach is a little over 3 km long creek in the Hohenlohekreis in northeastern Baden-Württemberg , which flows from the right into the upper Kupfer after a roughly northwest run near the hamlet of Bauersbach in the municipality of Kupferzell .

geography

course

The source of the Waschbach is a 0.4 hectare pond surrounded by trees on the southeast edge of the hamlet of Brachbach in the municipality of Untermünkheim in the Schwäbisch Hall district of the Seeäcker field at about 402  m above sea level. NHN . From this the brook flows out in its altogether quite constant north-westerly direction and initially traverses the place. Only below the hamlet does it come to the surface near the sewage treatment plant and immediately afterwards crosses under the A 6 .

Then it runs, mostly accompanied by bushes and trees, in the now somewhat more pronounced valley and passes the Eichhölzle on the right slope, through which the 0.7 km long Landhegebach runs, which contributes a partial catchment area of ​​approx. 0.6 km², west of Einweiler is created and follows the route of the old outer Haller Landheeg . Immediately after the mouth of the river, around the middle of its course, it changes to the municipality of Kupferzell in the Hohenlohe district.

Soon it will pass through a small pre-pond of 0.1 ha area and then immediately a flood retention basin of 0.8 ha area that is constantly holding water; to the right of the bank is one of the small forest islands typical of the Hohenlohe Plain, generically named Hölzle . After the Waschbach has flowed under the embankment of the retention basin, flows from the right to a little below 352.1  m above sea level. NHN is a watercourse that has only recently been reopened and that arises at a Hölzle that lies south of an emigrant farm from Kupferzell- Goggenbach on K 2364 on the road from Kupferzell- Eschental to Bauersbach . With a length of 1.0 km and a partial catchment area of ​​0.7 km, the stream, which crosses further fields after an initial section between fields and along a dirt road, is nevertheless the largest inflow.

On the remaining 0.8 km of its remaining course, the Waschbach crosses under the aforementioned road from Eschental, passes the hamlet of Bauersbach on the already lowering left valley spur and crosses under the road from there to the Stegmühle, which is further down the river. Then the accompanying gallery stops along a dirt road and the Bauersbach flows from the right and southeast about half a kilometer northwest of the center of the Bauersbach settlement at about 339  m above sea level. NHN in the upper copper .

The Bauersbach is 3.3 km long and has a catchment area of ​​3.6 km². It empties about 63 meters below its origin and has a mean bottom slope of about 19 ‰.

Catchment area

The Waschbach drains around 3.6 km² of the lower area of ​​the Kupferzeller Ebene and Kocheneck of the Hohenloher and Haller Ebene natural area . The two with each about 419  m above sea level. NHN highest points are on the northeast corner near a water reservoir in the south of Eschental and on the southeast edge in the Seeholz at the feeder of the B 14 to the A 6.

On the north side from the mouth to a little north of Einweiler the catchment area of ​​the next copper tributary, Aspenbach , borders below, on the east side that of the Eschentalbach , which drains over the Eschentaler Bach far above the Kupfer into the Kocher . The south-south- eastern watershed through the sea ​​wood east of Brachbach separates from the drainage area of ​​the Heiligenbach , whose receiving stream Dobelbach flows further up into the Kocher. Southern behind only a short piece watershed is little away the source of copper, followed along the southwest watershed almost to the mouth of the neighboring basins two upper copper flows, only the directional Bach , muzzle closer then the Werschbachs which the Remaining Hausen Überhauhölzle dewatered.

With the exception of a few small forest islands and a larger, but still less than 10 hectare, part of the Seehölzle east of Brachbach, most of the catchment area is in open fields. This is mostly under the plow; There are meadows on the narrow valley floor and together with orchards in the soft patches of the two larger hamlets.

Directly on the creek is only the hamlet Brachbach of the municipality Untermünkheim , in the catchment area there is still the noticeably smaller Kupferzell hamlet Einweiler in its northeast corner above the valley basin of the approaching Landhegebach and near the mouth on the left spur of the again larger, also Kupferzell hamlet Bauersbach . About 1.4 km² of the catchment area in the north lie on the Westernach suburb of Kupferzell, the remainder about one and a half times as large as the rest of the remaining suburb of Untermünkheim.

geology

The Waschbach rises in the edge area of ​​a large, Quaternary deposited loess sediment island, which forms an arc from east to south to almost the entire south-west side of Bauersbach along the surrounding hills. Below is the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ), the deepest layer of the Unterkeuper , which covers the entire rest of the catchment area down to the mouth. The shell limestone , which lies in the subsoil of the flat, hilly Hohenlohe plain and is responsible for the poorly profiled relief, is only exposed outside the catchment area, closest to the deeper cut valley of the Eschentaler Bach in the east.
