Zaber river (red)

The Zaber is a 22 km long river in the middle of Baden-Wuerttemberg , in Lauffen am Neckar in the district of Heilbronn from the left, that is from the west, the Neckar discharges. The medieval Zabergau was named after him. The shallow water is not navigable .

Surname

The first mention is from the year 793 as Zabernahgouwe (Zabernachgau). It is traditionally assumed that the name derives from the Latin word taberna ("restaurant", "street station"). It is assumed that the Roman settlement in today's Meimsheim bore this name (similar to the Alsatian town of Zabern ) and that over time the place name was transferred to the surrounding area and the river. This theory is supported by the fact that there was a traffic junction in the Roman Meimsheim and that the place was possibly of administrative importance for the region.

The Zaber gave its name to the Zabergäu between the Heuchelberg and Stromberg mountain ranges .

geography

Origin of the Zaber near Zaberfeld

Zabersprung

The Zaber arises in the Heilbronn district about two kilometers south-southwest of Zaberfeld on the northern slope of the wooded Stromberg . Under the serpentine of the Steigenstraße Zaberfeld – Häfnerhaslach (K 2062) there are still some springs in the Zaberfeld district that quickly merge.

course

The Zaber flows down the river slope to the north and into the Ehmetsklinge reservoir , which is also fed by two other streams, of which the one from the eponymous Ehmetsklinge is slightly longer than the Zaber. After the lake, the Zaber goes east, which it maintains with only minor excursions up to the mouth.

First it crosses Zaberfeld , behind which you reach a left and a right tributary, both of which are also dammed into a lake in their valleys. Then he changes to the municipality of Pfaffenhofen , where he first crosses the village of Weiler an der Zaber in a very low-slope valley , from where the first vineyards cover the left slope. Behind it the valley floor expands and it flows through Pfaffenhofen itself, which avoids the valley floodplain in favor of the lower foot of the slope.

Behind Güglingen and then its suburb Frauenzimmern , wine is also on the more distant hills in front of the Stromberg in the south. Brackenheim is a little bit further away on the left hill and in the valley of the forest brook flowing in from the left , the first longer tributary with over 7 km. Immediately afterwards, opposite the suburb of Meimsheim , a similar long right tributary runs towards it, the Herrenwiesenbach coming from Cleebronn .

Now the river digs deeper and the valley becomes narrow. The 9 km long Neipperger Bächle flows into a valley meander from the left, the longest tributary and the last significant one. Soon afterwards the river enters the expansive former Lauffener Neckarschlinge , which the Neckar left itself and whose downward quarter arc today the Zaber serves as a valley.

Lauffen am Neckar is mostly located to the right on the old Umlaufberg, which is flattened into a hill. After the Zaber has passed the small town, it flows below the lock systems there from the left and east after 22 km into the Neckar .

Catchment area

The catchment area covers 114 km² and lies between the ridge of the Heuchelberg in the south-south-west and that of the Stromberg in the north-north-west. In the north, beyond the Heuchelberg, the Lein drains eastwards to the Neckar , in the south, behind the Stromberg, the Metter and its nearer tributary Kirnbach in parallel with the lowest Enz . On both sides of the lower reaches in the mountain funnel, which widens towards the east, run to this smaller competitor. Only from the western tip of the catchment area does the neighboring Kraichbach flow in the northwest run directly to the Rhine .
