Template: Infobox River / BILD_fehlt

The Aubach is the largest tributary of the Aar in the Lahn river basin in Hesse, which drains the eastern basin.

Course

The Aubach opens in Aarbergen chain Bach in the Aar and passes through the towns of Hohenstein- Strinz - Margarethä, Hohenstein- Hennethal and Aarbergen chain Bach. Its source is located near the Gottscheds height between Strinz - Margarethä and Wingsbach, where the Wingsbach springs. The most important tributary of the Aubachs is the fish creek that flows through Niederlibbach and Hünstetten - Strinz - Trinity and empties into Hennethal in the Aubach.

Geomorphology

At the headwaters and lower reaches of the valley shape corresponds to a Kerbsohlental, in the middle reaches locally even a V-shaped valley. The valley could have, according to recent studies during the Weichsel glaciation greatly deepened again. Especially on the slopes of the middle reaches of numerous Holocene gullies are also formed which are the result of past use-related deforestation.

Name

The name Aubach probably originates from the modern era and is derived from the widespread use of some relatively broad floodplain of the creek trained under permanent pasture from. The historical name of Aubachs is Strinzbach or Strinzepha. Its middle and lower reaches are also referred to as Scheidertal what ( land county Hessen later) and the house of Nassau- Idstein is conditioned by assumptions of historians and geographers through the centuries- long border location between the sub- county Katzenelenbogen. In Aubachtal previously existed several mills, including the still -existing upper mill at Hennethal in which there is a restaurant and a hotel.
