Erlenbach (Jagst)

The Erlenbach between Aschhausen and Bieringen

The Erlenbach in Bieringen

The Erlenbach is a river in northern Baden-Württemberg about 23 kilometers in length, which leads into Bieringen in the municipality in the district of Hohenlohe Schoental from the right and north to the Jagst.

Course

The Erlenbach created just northeast of Assam town in the Main -Tauber -Kreis, passes through the village and then pulls in fairly straight run in a little more pronounced valley to west southwest. So he reached the area of ​​the city and its herb home district Neunstetten where the valley begins to lie in slings. Behind the soon following, also belonging to Krautheim Oberdorf the creek flowing by now southwest and enters the sub-district of Ravenstein, which reached him first Hasselbachplatz after crossing from Ball Mountain in the lower Hasselbachtal from the north, before the Erlenbach then the district Erlenbach crosses. From here the valley is deeply incised and the Talmäander entwine closer, his great- direction is always south. Then he crosses the municipal border with Schoental, here flows through Aschhausen achieved Bieringen and ends there, in front of an old, half- silted noose of Jagst from the right and his now almost south running valley in the Jagst.

Catchment area

With a catchment area of ​​104.9 km ², of which 19.1 km ² contribute Seebach and 21.2 km ² of Hasselbach, the alder is one of the most important tributaries of the Jagst. Further downstream at the Jagst compares himself again until the Kessach in rams with him.

The catchment area is approximately the shape of a triangle with a vertex in Bieringen in the south west at the mouth, one in the north-west at the junction of the A81 and a Boxberg in the east almost to Bad Mergentheim Hachtel.

His longest side is the left watershed of west Hachtel to the mouth against which the Erlenbach in the middle with herb home at their own northernmost point strongly approaching Jagst, which is why this whole running southwest side is pressed arcuate; the two bodies of water have only a spacing of about 2.5 km. From the left side of the most hard -flowing at this watershed Erlenbach has therefore little inflow, namely the Seewiesen ditch at obertsen and the creek from the Sauer valley at the bottom run. The competitor receives Jagst beyond to represent their tributaries only the Goldbach, the Laibach and the Horrenbach.

The right watershed is adjacent to the catchment area of ​​often less than a kilometer in front of her running and hardly ever left-sided inflow -preserving Kessach. The Erlenbach but receives approximately south-southwest of the current limit manufactures its more important tributaries Klingenbächle, Seebach, Hasselbach - the largest - and Grundbach that make its catchment area very right wing.

The approximately west-northwest withdrawing third side of the catchment area to the Main- Tauber inflow is thus a part of the large watershed between the Neckar and Main. The otherworldly competitors more important here are the Hachteler Bach, the Stuppach, the Althäuser Bachund the Brunnentalbach that. Across the Wachbach, and the Ursbach that Ehrlibächle that Hüttesbächle and Hagenmühlwasser which drain via the Umpfer north- to north-east in the Tauber
