The Weckelweiler Klingenbach is a little more than three kilometers long brook in the urban area of Kirchberg an der Jagst in the district of Schwäbisch Hall in northern Baden-Württemberg , which flows in a long curve to the right about southeast and in the Solwiesen opposite the valley spur with the castle Kirchberg flows into the middle Jagst from the right .

geography

course

The Weckelweiler Klingenbach arises about one kilometer west-northwest of the eponymous hamlet Weckelweiler von Kirchberg in the large forest island of the Streitwald at about 425  m above sea level. NHN . The source is roughly in the middle of the forest, only about a hundred meters away from a clearing with a forest hut at the central forest path crossing. The stream initially flows towards the east in a near-natural manner and in a shallow basin, passing a forest pond measuring less than 0.1 hectares, which is less than a hundred meters from the left bank. After about half a kilometer, he steps to the edge of the Etzfeld bay and begins to turn right along it. Less than a kilometer after the source, the forest also ends on the right side of the stream, which will soon enter the Weckelweiler area.

In Weckelweiler it mostly flows through a ditch, towards the end of the village it is open again and now south-east in a ditch next to the road to Kirchberg. At a small sewage treatment plant soon after the hamlet, a first ditch runs from the west-northwest, in the direction of which the Weckelweiler Klingenbach is now gaining some distance from the road that now runs almost southwards. A little later, the one-kilometer-long tributary flows from the north-western edge of the small forest island of Hagen , its largest, the stream running on it in a noticeably deepened valley past a long-abandoned quarry. Limestone quarry founded in the 19th century, in which mining has now also come to a standstill. This was from the once sharp blade of the creek out most of the formerly adjacent to it on the left to the east Eselsberg mined; the right steep slope, however, has been preserved with its wooded slope. From here the road to Kirchberg comes back to the run. Shortly afterwards the Weckelweiler Klingenbach flows into the flat bottom of the old north-eastern loop of the valley next to the Jagst, from which the river itself has withdrawn.

At the same time, the stream swings away from the road on the south-western lower course. It is now accompanied by a row of trees, mostly made of ash, and by at least partially naturally raised bank walls. Finally, it passes through the Solwiesen , a partially preserved wet meadow with a source of sour water , into which a short, finally widened, pool-like channel runs from the right. At last it flows out at about 332  m above sea level. NHN below the valley settlement of the small town of Kirchberg and shortly after the return from its right Mühlgraben opposite the Talsporn with the Kirchberg Castle from the right into the middle Jagst .

The 3.2 km long Weckelweiler Klingenbach empties about 93 meters below its origin, its mean bottom slope is about 29 ‰. Like its tributaries, it carries unstable water and can dry out completely in summer.

Catchment area

Heard that about 3.1 sq km catchment area of Weckelweiler blades Bach, natural area seen on the Kocher-Jagst plates , with the larger portion of the north it is in the subspace Bartenstein-Langenburg plates , with the remaining estuary near the subspace Middle Jagsttal . The highest point in it on its northwestern tip is in the western Streitwald at a little over 435  m above sea level. NHN . It borders in turn on the catchment areas

  • of the Beimbach in the north, which flows into the lower Brettach near the hamlet of Beimbach
  • of the Steinbach in the east, a Jagst tributary a little further up, and
  • of the brook from the Finsteren Klinge in the west, also a Jagst tributary now downstream.

About a quarter of the catchment area is forest, especially in the Streitwald with the origin of the brook in its northwest, also in the northeast in Oberholz and Hagen , least of all on the lower reaches of the right Klingenhang and the slope of the old Jagstschlinge. In the open corridor, the meadows dominate in the wide softness of Weckelweiler and near the stream, while the fields on the rest of the plateau. Except for minimal fringes of the municipality of Rot am See in the far north, the catchment area belongs entirely to the area of ​​the small town of Kirchberg an der Jagst , the only place in it is the hamlet of Weckelweiler, through which the stream flows .

Source of the Weckenweiler Klingenbach at about 425  m above sea level. NHN in the Streitwald about 1.2 km west-northwest of the hamlet of Weckelweiler in the small town of Kirchberg an der Jagst near the forest clearing with a hut at the central forest path intersection. The stream initially flows east, then leaves the forest after half a kilometer and then begins to turn to the right.

  • RiverIcon-SmallLake.svgPasses a forest pond in the Streitwald in the left Obertalmulde at about 423  m above sea level at a distance of less than a hundred meters . NHN , just under 0.1 ha.
  • (Inconsistent brook), from the right and west to about 387  m above sea level. NHN after the brook has crossed Weckelweiler on the road to Kirchberg, approx. 0.6 km and approx. 0.3 km². Arises at about 408  m above sea level. NHN in the Gewann Hart between field and meadow and immediately passes through a small poplar and willow wooded area, followed by a field path ditch.
  • (Inconsistent brook), from the left and north-northeast to about 383.5  m above sea level. NHN less than 200 meters after the previous one, approx. 1.0 km and approx. 0.7 km². Arises at about 416  m above sea level. NHN on the north-western edge of the small forest island of Hagen . Follow a dirt road at the middle course, otherwise Wiesenbach.
    At this tributary, for example, the narrower Klingen section of the Klingenbach, which now runs south, begins .
  • (Inconsistent brook), from the left and east-northeast to around 370  m above sea level. NHN shortly before the quarry area, approx. 0.5 km and approx. 0.2 km². Arises at about 402  m above sea level. NHN between the Gewannen Ödisweiler and Egelsee at a field lane crossing , one of whose paths it initially follows.
    Immediately after this tributary, the Weckenweiler Klingenbach runs on the route of its former blade through the quarry on the western edge of which the Eselsberg , which was once to the left, was largely excavated. After its end and at the entrance to the old Jagstschlinge north across from the Kirchberger Talsporn, the stream turns for its last 0.4 km to the southwest.

Mouth of the Weckenweiler Klingenbach from the right and finally northeast to about 332  m above sea level. NHN in the Solwiesen a little below the valley settlement of Kirchberg and the Mühlkanal return from the right into the middle Jagst. The Weckenweiler Klingenbach is 3.2 km long and has a catchment area of ​​approx. 1 km².

geology

The Klingenbach originates in the Streitwald, where there is partly a loess sediment island that continues outside the catchment area , also north of Weckelweiler, and a smaller island also southwest of the hamlet. The rest of the plateau is covered by the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt Formation ), while the Upper Muschelkalk begins below it only a little downwards from Weckelweiler on the bottom of the valley basin, which will soon become steeper. Finally, the Klingenbach flows into an old loop of the Jagst to the northeast, from which the river has withdrawn, leaving behind a layer of older river gravel .

There are two geotopes. Upper Muschelkalk was mined in the now closed quarry on Eselsberg on the Unterlaufklinge ; the profile extends from this high to the Lettenkeuper ( Erfurt formation ). The Sauerbrunnen in the Solwiesen is a carbonated spring that gets its mineral load from the Middle Muschelkalk underground.

Nature and protected areas

The lowest part of the catchment area in the old Jagstschlinge belongs to the landscape protection area Mittleres Jagsttal with side valleys and adjacent areas , mostly also to a Kirchberg water protection area. The upper blade section in front of the large quarry from the 20th century is designated as a natural monument under the name of the old quarry near Weckelweiler , as is the Sauerbrunnen with reed meadows next to the lowest course in the Solwiesen . To the north of these there is an area with dry stone walls and stone bars on the right on the slope of the Jagstschlinge.

history

Near the watershed there are two burial mounds in the Streitwald and a burial mound field in Oberholz . In the regional Gäu landscape , which is favorable to early arable farming , these are not infrequently to be found in the highest areas, which are often covered by forest islands and thus also remained uncultivated.
