Geography

Source and course

The Irsbach rises in the southwest corner of the upper Sontheimer community area close to the forest plateau of the mountains in the forest Limpurger Won Geissbühl in Aigeltinger Linde on so-called Förster wells ( Unmounted source). It runs through the close and rapidly eintiefende pulp blade to the southeast, where it holds less than a kilometer from the left on an approximately equal length Quellast, the Hasenbühl created when forest roads star at the former military landfill and through the blade leading down a forest path into the valley, the the Irsbach in its further forest blade close accompanied. On the next just 2.5 km to the Irsbach now a large number of gradient ranging blades streams from the left and right goes to at right angles, one of which reach greater lengths to half a kilometer and come from two-sided height streets of the carbon road on the left and the Brünststraße right. Most are nameless. His greatest with 1.5 km long tributary of the left from the stable Wasen blade reached him after 3.4 km, immediately afterwards he turns to the southwest, its forest blade widens into a broad valley in the open hallway and the accompanying road rises to the left foot of the slope. After a hundred meters, he fed by the inflow of deep blade ( stream length 1.2 km) from the right, two fishponds along 0.3 hectares, about 0.9 km to its bend it reaches the Sulzbacher fulling mill and flows into the northern urban area of ​​Sulzbach, 5.0 km below its source, from the left in the Rein.

Catchment area

The Irsbach has a catchment area of 5.5 km ², its shape is roughly a triangle with two long legs. The western of the watershed to Rein follows the route of the Brünstweges, the northeast of the coal road to about Sulzbach - Hohenberg, the shorter base runs from the mouth to get across the open ridge of Kirchberg and Mr. Field.

Geology

The Irsbach runs through the layers of the Keuper, from the source to the upper limit of Upper Colorful marl to Stubensandstein right down to Gipskeuper at the mouth.

Landscape

The upper part of Irsbachs to the direction of buckling extends in a narrow and steep, mostly planted with mixed wood blade in the accompanying forest road several times the side of the stream changes and move away from the hardly even climbing routes for timber removal. After the wet season you can often watch fresh slope slides on bare sand or lying Lehmhängen here. After buckling and valley widening the Irsbach flows in the lower reaches in a grassy hollow. The only settlements on its banks are located in this area, namely the fulling mill and Sulzbach itself

Towns and villages

The vast majority of stream and catchment area of ​​Irsbachs belongs to the municipality Sulzbach-Laufen. Its source is still up in the field upper Sontheims, whose territory then the left side is bordered in the troubled waters blade down to the creek and at the headwaters of a total of about 0.5 km ² of the catchment area belong to the. To Buhlerzell include only two together snippets of about 0.1 km ² at the level of the middle reaches of the carbon road where the watershed boundary this road passes just to the east. The only settlements on the river are located in Sulzbach-Laufen, the fulling mill and Sulzbach itself adding two or three houses of Brünst come in the catchment area at the mouth of mountain spur between Irsbach and Eisbachtal that drain to Irsbachseite.
