The dedication is a 30 km long, southern and right tributary of the Danube on the eastern edge of Baden-Württemberg to Bavaria . This brook in the foothills of the Alps flows over most of its course to the west and parallel to the Iller to the north. In the last few kilometers he comes close to it; until its lowest section was relocated in 2002/03, the consecration ended shortly before its confluence with the Iller.

geography

course

The consecration rises south of Wain in the district of Biberach at the Oberbuch farms. The next larger town after Wain is Weihungszell , followed - now in the Alb-Donau district - the towns of Schnürpflingen , Staig with Steinberg , Illerkirchberg and the southern Ulm district of Wiblingen , which it passes not far from the Wiblingen monastery (with the Wiblingen basilica). Then the consecration, which has hitherto consistently flowed northwards, swings to the left and flows roughly westwards for the last three kilometers of its way. After crossing under the Danube Canal Ulm-Wiblingen, which is only 200 meters above a weir on the right side of the river, it flows into the Danube from the right .

The consecration is 29.9 km long, has an average bed gradient of about 3.7 ‰ and flows about 110 meters below its source.

Catchment area

The slope drains an 81.8 km², very narrow catchment area to the Danube, which extends from south to north. The highest point on the southeast corner reaches a little over 605  m above sea level. NHN . In terms of natural space , it is part of the Donau-Iller-Lech-Platte , in which the consecration runs for the longest part (up to Schnürpflingen) through the sub-area of wooden sticks , then the sub-area of ​​the hill country of the lower Riss and, for less than the last kilometer, the sub-area of Unteres Illertal .

On the eastern watershed, the upper catchment area borders that of the Gießen , further down the river Iller competes on this side until the end . On the very short southern and the subsequent western one, the catchment areas follow one after the other first of the upper Danube tributary Rot , then its right tributary Schmiechen , and finally of increasingly shorter tributaries of the Danube itself.

In terms of nature , the entire catchment area lies in the northern foothills of the Alps. The southern part lies in the wooden sticks , the northern part to the plains of the Lower Rift ; a small gusset at the mouth is counted as part of the Lower Illertal ; all of these are sub-spaces of the Donau-Iller-Lech-Platte .

Relocation of the estuary

To the north of Wiblingen, the consecration flowed through the Rote Wand , an important drinking water catchment area for Ulm's water supply, until 2002, before flowing into the Iller, only a few hundred meters from its confluence with the Danube. In 2002/03, however, after a conflict of several years between representatives of nature conservation and water conservation, the section of the mouth of the consecration was moved out of the drinking water protection area in order to prevent the risk of groundwater contamination in the event of flooding; the consecration is partially burdened by agricultural use along its course. Since then, the consecration has been flowing into the Danube north of Wiblingen via a newly created bed just before the Iller. The possible lowering of the groundwater in the area of ​​the Iller floodplain forest should counteract compensation measures, e.g. B. In periods of little rain, it is fed by a specially created water inlet from the Danube Canal.
