Weid (Ulster)

BW

The Weid, also called Weidbach, is a good 10 km long, orographic right side tributary of Ulster in the Rhön. It rises in the administrative community Hohe Rhön, the district Schmalkalden- Meiningen, Thuringia, where it has its upper and middle reaches, to the lower reaches, flows within the boundaries of the city Tann, district of Fulda, Hesse in Ulster.

Course

The Weid rises on the western slope of the elbow in the north of the Long Rhön ( part of the High Rhön) to about 765 meters and flows at first towards the north, where it soon in the Auersberger Kuppenrhön (part of Kuppenrhön ) occurs via Oberweid after Unterweid. She then turns to the northwest where it crosses the border to Hesse and reaches about dog Bach Herdathurm Wendershausen, where it flows at about 365 meters above sea level in the Ulster.

On its 10.3 kilometers run it overcomes a difference in altitude of 400 meters, which corresponds to the relatively high average bed slope of nearly 40 ‰.

Catchment and inflows

Despite its small catchment area of only 36.7 km ² the Weid is after equipped with 70 % more intake surface Taft at an outflow ( MQ ) of 539 compared to 571 l / s of water-rich Ulster inflow. This is mainly the result of their course to the windward side of the central Rhön, while the taffeta and other left Ulster tributaries are located on the leeward side of the Western Rhön and only slightly affected by orographic rainfall. The absolute height differences that do not last (see above) are reflected in the bed slope, contribute to this.

Only two tributaries are of some importance:

  • The opening into Unterweid from the north or right Fischbach ( on maps sometimes also labeled Weid - 4144-2, 3.0 km, 4.8 km ²), which has happened before dog Bach Kleinfischbach
  • The south of the dog stream from the south or left opening into Mühlbach ( 4144-4; 7.1 km, 9.1 km ²), which has happened before Hilders - Simmershausen and the dog Bacher sub- district Dippach

All other Weid inflows only reach lengths of less than 2 kilometers and dehydrate seen for ever only very small areas.
