Pfedelbach (Ohrn)

The Pfedelbach is the outflow of the book Horner lake.

The Pfedelbach is a creek in Pfedelbach in the Hohenlohe district in northern Baden- Württemberg, the left opens into the Ohrn after nearly 7 km run in Öhringen. His name is on the upper reaches and the lower reaches Lohklingenbach abrasive stream.

Geography

Origin

The Pfedelbach rises to about 377 m above sea level. NN in the northern Mainhardter Forest lake in the book Horner Pfedelbach Teilort Buchhornplatz. In this area it is also called Lohklingenbach. Below Buchhornplatz he has dug a narrow, north-north- western -oriented forest ravine.

Headwaters until after Pfedelbach

In the field of Lohklinge the Pfedelbach flows between woman and mountain castle hill over to the city limits of Pfedelbach. In Won Upper Hamlet he feeds a fish farm. In the next place Pfedelbach the Pfedelbach is partially verdolt; the channel passes under the main road and flows through under the stable building, parallel to and then Kirchgasse and finally exits north of the sports field to the surface again.

Underflow from Pfedelbach

From Pfedelbach flows from the Pfedelbach between the L 1050 and the western bypass, the Öhringer past the cemetery, parallel to Schleifbachweg to its mouth at the intersection Schleifbachweg / Herrenwiesenstraße. In Öhringer lower reaches of Pfedelbach is also called abrasive stream.

Catchment area

The Pfedelbach drains an area of 12.8 km ² for Ohrn, about one-fifth to the north along the lower reaches heard of the city Öhringen, while the rest is up to Pfedelbach community district. The southern third part of the natural space of the Swabian- Franconian Forest, the one here about 3 km long projection to the northeast stretches between the valleys of Brettach in the west and Ohrn in the east, the other two thirds of Hohenlohe plain.

The catchment area of ​​Pfedelbachs has approximately the shape of a north- south oriented spindle whose northernmost point is at the mouth near the Öhringen old town and its southernmost tightly between book Horner lake and Geddelsbach the eaves of Brettachtales.

From there, the watershed runs in this first northwest, then north on the eastern edge of the soon Eichhalde over the eastern Lindelberg and on the crest of Golbergs to the eastern Verrenberg where the most north-westerly point is reached. Beyond here flows at a short distance roughly parallel the Brettach whose right tributaries between Geddelsbach and Bitzfeld are the immediate Pfedelbach competitors.

From this point on the watershed runs back to the south everywhere against the Ohrn; First a short distance north-east to the mouth, there are no open drain beyond the western Öhringer city. After the dividing line bends to the southeast and proceeds until Öhringer water tower on the northern Pfaff Tower, also without direct otherworldly competitors except the Ohrn itself Then the border will run through the eastern Pfedelbach south to roughly the Pfedelbach living space larks, also has turn east quite close Ohrn no apparent tributaries.

After the watershed by which the Ohrn tapered Baierbach proposes a curve to the west and back again, in the first half she climbs to the crest of the Charlotte Berg to Heuberg that it cuts, then in their second little west of L 1050 the crest of the book Horner to follow northwestern spur of the Mainhardter forest and again to reach the southernmost point on the birch forest; direct competitor is here said Baierbach.

In the catchment area of the Pfedelbachs are, in addition to some small settlement sites and the localities Buchhornplatz, Heuberg ( partial), Pfedelbach, Windischenbach and a sector of the southern Öhringen.

Inflows

Outflow of Pfedelbachs, here Lohklingenbach called, from the 2.0 -acre lake on 377 Horner book m above sea level. NN.

• Merzenbächle, from right at the roundabout at Pfedelbach Pitch, 1.4 km and 2.0 km ². Arises on the southeastern outskirts of the village cemetery and runs in a Ostbogen to the subterranean estuary, verdolt from the wine road.
• Dengel ditch from the right shortly after the end of the industrial area in Pfedelbach north and the transfer of the Pfedelbachs on Öhringer district, 1.3 km and 1.0 km ². Arises on the western slope of the mountain Pfaff of several branches and runs through the wide Hanne blade to the mouth.
• Windischenbach, from the left on the southern Öhringer commercial zone around the street Am Steinsfeldle, 3.7 km and 4.5 km ². Arises in the wood blade that separates the north expires in castle hill spur of the Lohklinge in the east.

Geology

The book Horner lake from which the Pfedelbach springs, lying on the pebbly sandstone plateau ( Hassberge Formation) in the northern parts of the Mainhardter forest. The effluent stream enters at the beginning of Lohklinge in the Lower Colorful marl ( Steigerwald Formation), in the blade runs later briefly by the Schilfsandstein ( Stuttgart Formation ) before in the second half it reaches the Gipskeuper ( grave field - Formation) where it then remains almost to the mouth. Only a few hundred meters in front of this covered in Öhringen Lettenkeuper (Erfurt Formation) to shallow right Talhügel. The layers on the Hohenlohe plain in many places overlaid by loess, preferably on the eastern slopes of the valleys, so after delivery direction in Lee. Between the feeds Merzenbächle and Windischenbach the Auenfüllung is very wide.

The origin of Windisch Bach in the wood blade is located in the Lower Colorful marl, all other tributaries to Pfedelbach and Windischenbach begin in Gipskeuper.

Just north of Castle Hill sweeps Schilfsandstein areally from further before the western hills at the output of the wood blade; it also forms the ceiling of the Keuper mountains upstream witnesses mountains Lindelberg and Golberg on the western edge of the catchment area, which continue beyond the watershed on.
