The Windbach is a short left and west tributary of the Aar .

It is located in the Aarbergen - Hausen district above Aar . In its upper and middle reaches the Windbach (here also Kehrgraben) and its side arm Steimelsgraben are notch-like deepened like a run , which is due to historical soil erosion due to heavy deforestation , especially in the 17th and 18th centuries.
