Geography
Source and course
The Sülzbach arises in the Northeast corner of the Weinberger community area about a kilometer east of Wimmental this side of the underpass under the A6 between the motorway and the K 2113 about 253 m above sea level. NN. From here attracts the young body of water that used to be called in Wimmental Gerberbachviertel, in a westerly direction between two roads on Wimmental to below the Schoenberg in the north, whose whole, Dimbacher mountain called slope is composed of vineyards, and to almost down to the left wooded shores of Kreuzberg in the south.
After a kilometer it passes through the pool of Wimmental, here runs right Fuchsklinge the upper slope down, but performs no water. He then enters the settlement area Wimmentals, where he reversed almost at the western edge of the village, to the south. He draws under the viaduct Wimmental by the highway, already accompanied here to the right of the K 2111. While still close the left waldbekrönten mountains Gallows Hill and Rauhberg stand, lie down on his right now flat, tilled hill. At the inlet of the water body also loose rough blade from the left whose northeast slope is also consisted of vines, he passes over on the municipality of Obersulm.
When then at the western foot of the rough mountain standing high Ulmer settlement site Am Goldberg lying on the left bank of two ponds together about 14 working area, then flows from the east below the turn -lined by vineyards south slope of the rough mountain wolf blade. After her feed the flood plain widens - here by the inhabitants Sülzbachs Deele ( dale ) called - the damp eastern bay of sandy meadows, while already are the first settlement houses in the village Sülzbach right side of the county road 2111. A trench drains the wetland from the left in the Sülzbach.
Immediately in front of the embankment of the railway line Crailsheim -Heilbronn the water board Sulm has completed a retention basin for flood control in 2010. After it has passed through the dam and the train, the creek in the Sulm floodplain and the settlement area Sülzbachs in a curve occurs after the southwest before Sülzbacher Altenberg. Its old center happens the Sülzbach left and runs immediately before the crossing of the county road 2112 ( Staufenstraße ) over a weir. Once he has crossed the newer industrial zone of the village on the shore, the Sülzbach opens after a total of 3.8 km run at about 183 m above sea level. NN from the right in the Sulm.
Catchment area
The catchment area of 4.7 km ² and comprises Sülzbachs has approximately triangular shape. Its north-eastern tip lies on the corridor plateau of Gagern mountain, from where the watershed runs in a southwesterly direction over Gallows Hill, Rauhberg and Sülzbacher Altenberg to the mouth. Beyond lies just to the east the large catchment area of the dewatering on the Schwabbach to Brettach Dimbachs, in the southeast of the Seebächles. To the west lies beyond the right of the southward current Sülzbach section accompanying hill train the parallel valley of the current flowing through Grant 's bet Risch Bach, the catchment boundary moves north up to Prinzessinwäldle on the crest of the wild mountain, where the north-western tip of the catchment area lies. On the rest, running east part of the watershed about the book and the Schönberg to return to Gagernberg competes in the north until the turn bigger, just before opening into the Erlenbach Sulm Eberbach, then again the Dimbach.
About three-quarters of the catchment area are in open hall, the remaining forested part is limited to the heights and northern slopes, while the south-facing slopes are mostly used winegrowing.
Towns and villages
The Sülzbach passes through the municipalities of vineyard and Obersulm. The majority of the catchment area lies on Weinberger district, Obersulm has a less than half as much of. About 0.4 km ² at its northeastern tip form a Ellhofener Gemeindeexklave, stands on the almost only forest. A tiny snippet in the West is also one of Ellhofen, a little larger in the north to Bretz field. The only villages in the catchment area are Wimmental ( to Weinberg) and the living space Am Goldberg and Sülzbach (both to Obersulm ); All three are located on the banks of the creek.
Landscape and nature conservation
Northeast of Wimmental and west of Wimmental are two old reed sandstone quarries on the edge of the valley of the northern plateau under habitat protection. Also of note are some blades, including the fox blade and another on donkey head north-west of Wimmental at this top downhill edge.
In the hallway several copses are protected as habitats, the woods in the Wolf blade, some dry stone walls in the vineyards and ravines; wetland meadows the sand on the lower reaches, the area of lying in the living space Am Goldberg ponds and the environment of a tiny pond west of Wimmental.
Natural monuments are two Buckeyes on the Altenberg west of Wimmental, a pear tree in the vineyard edge of the rough mountain, the wolf blade, the sand and the top of the meadows ( Sülzbacher ) Altenbergs.
Geology
The upper valley right and left and the middle left accompanying plateaus of Schoenberg, Book, Wildenberg, Gagernberg, Kreuzberg, Gallows and Rauhberg are all located in Schilfsandstein ( Stuttgart Formation ), the source and the valley below the uppermost slopes contrast over its entire length in Gipskeuper ( grave field formation) below. The low range of hills to the right of Südlaufs is covered by loess, which also occupies a part of the plateau of the Gagern mountain.
The two old quarries above provide insights of local Schilfsandstein storage, at a Geotop on ( Sülzbacher ) Altenberg lying on the crest of the Estherienschichten Gipskeuper are open.
