Zimmerbach (Starzel)

Rooms Bach in Wessingen, brook upstream, in the background of Albtrauf

The room is a stream with the longest headwaters 11 ¾ km long river in the middle Albtrauf Bisingen in Zollernalbkreis in Baden- Württemberg, the left and south of Hechingen-Stein opens below into the Neckar tributary Starzel. It is formed by the confluence of its two headwaters of Willow Creek and Sulzbach in Bisingen rooms.

Geography

Course

The creek originates in rooms at about 545 m above sea level. NN from the confluence of his right and longer source Bach Weidenbach to the left and slightly shorter Sulzbach. Both arise from quite high up on the escarpment at an altitude of about 785 m above sea level. NN. On their run of 3.4 km ( Weidenbach ) or 3.2 km ( Sulzbach ) ie until confluence they lose about 240 m in height, indicating the great erosive power of the two and their tributaries. Many coming from the right small tributaries originate on the right foothills of the Alps from Zeller Horn and vorgelagertem Berg Hohenzollern / Zoller, the Hohenzollern Castle crowns, including the Weil Proved Bach and the Bach Finke, make the right headwaters of Willow Creek inflow richer.

The resulting rooms rooms Bach passes under the railway embankment to the village of Zollernalb train and reached shortly after about one kilometer Wessingen. 600 meters west-northwest Westerner gene spans after a large bridge structure of the four-lane road 27 here the rooms Bach. A few yards north of the bridge flows to the left of the outer stream, the longest tributary. Two kilometers further on he is passing on the left slope on belonging to Hechingen village Weilheim. Before the end of its run, slope and floodplain forest replenished the valley, flows in this section at the beginning on the left by the pond creek one last time, a longer tributary to. Then the room creek flows downstream 11.8 km below its mündungsfernsten source and 8.4 km below the confluence of its headwaters branches at Stauffenberger yard from the left and south to the Starzel, between Hechingen-Stein upstream and Rangendingen.

Catchment area

The rooms creek drains an area of ​​25 km ², ⅓ on and off the escarpment on the Starzel to the Neckar. The catchment area is less than 9 ½ km long, north-northwest -oriented strip of fairly constant width of less than 3 ½ miles, where the creek about holding the middle. In the north, near the mouth of competing smaller inflows towards Starzel. The watershed pulls then south-southeast over the Albausläufer from Bismarck height ( 643.4 m above sea level. ), Mountain or incher Hohenzollern (850 m above sea level. ) And Zeller Horn for Raichberg (956 m above sea level. ) On the escarpment; beyond dehydrated here the neighboring river Reichenbach in itself towards the Starzel. Then the catchment area boundary runs south-west to the escarpment to Blasenberg ( 886.3 m above sea level. NN ), in this section it is European watershed against the catchment area of the longer, pulling in the opposite direction beyond the Danube Schmiecha. From Blasenberg it rises rapidly into the Albvorland Bisinger district Thanheim and then pulls morphologically not very pronounced north-northwest to the vicinity of Grosselfingen. Until then left the room Bach competes directly into the Neckar opening out, too, major Eyach. From Grosselfingen way back to the mouth of the watershed runs north-northeast from the catchment area of the shorter rank things Starzel influx Talbach.

The majority of the watershed is located in an open field. Forests are on the slopes of Albtrauf and the right side the creek long accompanying ridge and on the last almost two kilometers on either side of the barrel where the stream has reached a considerable valley depth. Tributaries along the middle reaches drain some isolated forest patches in Albvorland.

Attractions and buildings

The rooms Bach has created in its upper reaches an erosion Bay, at the eastern edge on a left standing northern foothills of the Alps before the adjacent east of Reichenbach's Hohenzollern Castle crowns the summit spur.

About a half mile above the mouth of the brook in the room Starzel is located east of the barrel at a distance of 400 meters above the wooded Unterlauftal the Hohenzollern Castle Lindich.
