Kirnau

Before Adelsheim

Template: Infobox River / Obsolete

It arises near Altheim in land, flows briefly in ostsüdöstliche, then south-east, then south-west direction, passing through the city limit Osterburken forms in Adelsheim a small tufa waterfall where it discharges into the Seckach. It is approximately the same water flow whose largest tributary, and surpasses them at length about 8 kilometers.

Your own biggest tributary is about 9 km in length, the Rinna, the flow to just above Rosenberg. The Rinna has been above the confluence of the direction of the united stream, while the Kirnau itself must bend to this at right angles to the right. Another one of the tributaries is the left side Brno flowing stream, it flows into Adelsheim just before the confluence of Kirnau and Seckach and competes with the Hergstgraben.

Catchment area and neighboring rivers

The catchment area of ​​Kirnau contains 101 km ².

In the north it borders on the the Erfa which flows north and empties itself into the Main, which is case- watershed between the Neckar and Main contracts slightly above the springs of both Kirnau as their tributary Rinna from west to east.

East of the sources of Rinna does The Umpfer, which also flows through the Tauber to the Main. To the south, approximately east of Rosenberg, then the catchment area of ​​Jagst inflow Kessach follows, it competes here its tributary, the ( Berolzheimer ) Kastle. Between Osterburken and Adelsheim then the smaller east Hergstbach constrained to only small track with its tributaries between these two basins.

West of the Kirnau competes over the entire length of the Rinschbach, another Seckachzufluss who, after he's the Kirnau shortly before come close to just half a kilometer, less than two kilometers opens above her in the Seckach. The Kirnauverlauf has with his three directions east-south, south-south and south-south roughly the shape of an open arch to the west, the north-south oriented forms of tendon Rinschbach.

Origin and Evolution

While the TK25 clearly does not name origin and labeled three of the five candidate source branches with its own name, the opportunities offered by LUBW sources are distinguished according to the specified therein at the TK25 Quellast Roscheltgraben the way up to its origin as a Kirnau. Another definition would have only a small change in the overall length of the result. We follow this convention here.

The Kirnau rises approximately 3 km east-northeast of the center of beech Hettingen, namely about 100 meters east of the junction of Roman Road / Old street of the L 518 you initially flows east-southeast, it takes just over 1km from left to Heutelsteingraben on and than 3 km away, on the outskirts of Altheim in the land, working from left the liabilities arising from the confluence of three branches northerly source stream, which proposes a direction, but is now long in directions from south to southeast.

Before the southern end of the town of Altheim it increases from left to Brügelgraben on, right on the outskirts of a low-tide channel from the Schalltal shortly after another from the same side. Shortly before the Untermühle flows from the right wooden ditch, then little from the right Mühlformtalgraben. After about 7 km of its course it reaches Rosenberg Sindolsheim, opens at the downstream end of the village left the base trench. After about 9 km it passes the Sindolsheimer Talmuhle, after about 10 miles and just before it reaches Gaimühle left the Sindolsheimer ditch. While they previously took a fairly straight path, she now puts in Wiesenmäander, slightly below, she also began Talmäander train. Your largest tributary, the Rinna, it takes about 1 km from the left and then flows consistently in the direction of south-west to continue its mouth.

After about 12 km, it happens to lie in a legal loop on the right side of the valley the ancient village of Rosenberg. A bit further down leads from the left of the birch ditch, then right at the Talmuhle of Rosenberg ( nearly 15 miles) from the right, the 4 km long, make - such as temporarily dry valley of Wammersgrabens and a smaller, stable water-bearing valley of Dörrhof ago. Less than a kilometer further down the valley it flows from the right of a wooded valley of the caster ditch. Shortly before the Osterburkener Talmuhle and with her they reach two other watercourses from the left, then it flows through the city Osterburken, where shortly after the old town ( 19 km) of the creek through the valve blade and at the local end still in the Hager blade from left they open. After about 22 km you reach the outskirts of Adelsheim, takes little then left the Brno stream and feeds on reaching the old town border, one to the right of her outgoing moat of these upriver in an arc to the northwest and then wraps around the southwest and 200 m by itself leads to the Seckach. The Kirnau has come at its mouth for a distance of nearly 24 km, the Seckach itself about a third less.

Inflows and side valleys

The limestone karst landscape of building land is characterized by many dry or dry valleys of falling partly small size, therefore, such Kirnbachtal valley opens out into the valleys are listed below with. These typically run in the middle of the paths climbing the surrounding hills, the rivers are in it then often performed as inconspicuous ditches beside the road in dry conditions, but can cause substantial masses of water when it rains sometimes.

• Heutelsteingraben, from left in Altheim in the land, 1 km

• Bach through Schalltal, right on the edge of Altheim, 2 km (temporarily dry valley, ditch beside the road)
• Bach through Won flow from right in front of Altheimer treatment plant, 2 km (temporarily dry valley, ditch beside the road)
• Holzgraben, from the left of the Altheimer Untermühle, 4 km ( Dörntaler upper trench )
• Mühlformtalgraben, right to the Altheimer Untermühle, 1 km (temporarily dry valley, ditch beside the road)

• Rinna, also called Eubigheimer Bach, from left above Rosenberg, 9 km
• Birkengraben, from left in the Rosenberger treatment plant, 2 km
• Wammersgraben, right at the Rosenberger Talmuhle, 5 km ( valley with partly constant and partly temporarily dry sections )
• Bach from Dörrhof coming down from the right side of the Rosenbergs Talmuhle, 2 km (Possibly before mouth confluence with the previous one, on TK can not be read )
• Chop blade, right to the Rosenbergs Talmuhle, 1 km
• Bach through Won Red Egerten, from left above the Osterburkener Talmuhle, 1 km

• Bach by the Gänsackerklinge, from left in the Osterburkener Talmuhle, 1 km
• Hahn blade, left on Osterburkener railway station, 2 km
• Hager blade, left at the downstream end of the village Osterburken, 1 km
• Foxhole, left over the railway line bifurcation below Osterburken, 1 km ( Arroyo, to slightly more than the last 100 m upstream of the mouth an intermittently water-bearing stream )
• Brno Bach, from left slightly above the station Adelsheim -east, 5 km (left)

Approximately 300 m before the confluence of Kirnau in the Seckach goes on the right side of her a moat from, the north-east, north and then northwest wraps around the old town and opens into the Seckach after a little more than 400 m, about 200 m above the Kirnau itself.

Communities and places

Contribution to run the Kirnau the cities and towns

• Town houses, less than 1 km from the source stream Roscheltgraben lie on the urban district.
• Community of Altheim in land until shortly after the inflow of Mühlformtalgrabens. Riverside are the place itself and the lower mill.
• Community Rosenberg, to feed the coater blade. Riverside lie Sindolsheim, the local Talmuhle that Gaimühle, the place Rosenberg himself and the local Talmuhle.
• City Osterburken, to Talmündung the fox hole. Riverside the Talmuhle and the city itself are
• City Adelsheim, to the mouth. Only the city itself lies on the river.

Traffic

The Franks Stuttgart -Würzburg railway runs mostly in the right straight in a straight line about 18 km long, running from south-east to north-east channel of the lower Kirnau and the Rinnatales. In the area around Rosenberg, where the valley is narrow and strongly meandering, she avoids the valley floor.

The B 292 Sinsheim- Königshofen runs at the lowest Kirnau between Adelsheim and Osterburken in the valley, climb there but then the southeastern slope height and performs on the southern heights to Rosenberg and Hirschlanden over, to then turn to the east and to remove from the Rinna.

In the upper Kirnautal runs between Sindolsheim and Altheim the L 518 in the valley.
