The Rehbach is a river in Rhineland-Palatinate. It is about 29 kilometres (18 mi) long and is a left tributary of the Rhine.
History
[edit]
The Rehbach does not have a source: The Speyerbach splits on the Winzinger Wassergescheid in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, with about 1/3 of the water going left and forming the Rehbach and the other 2/3 going right and continuing as Speyerbach. After leaving the district of Neustadt, the Rehbach flows through the western part of the Upper Rhine Valley, initially in an easterly direction, later more northeast. It touches the municipalities of Ha?loch, B?hl-Iggelheim, Schifferstadt, Limburgerhof and Neuhofen. Between Altrip and Ludwigshafen, it flows into the Upper Rhine from the left.
Tributaries
[edit]The main tributaries of the left Rehbach are Mu?bach, which flows into the Rehbach between Ha?loch and the Mu?bach district of Neustadt, and the Steinbach, which flows into the Rehbach above Schifferstadt. The strongest right tributary is the Ranschgraben. Like the Rehbach itself, this is a tributary of the Speyerbach. It splits off from Speyerbach just north of Speyerdorf and flows into Rehbach East of Limburgerhof-Rehhütte, after crossing below Rehbach a few hundred meters before at Limburgerhof-Kohlhof.
History
[edit]In the Middle Ages, the water of the Rehbach was already diverted from Speyerbach in the village of Winzingen, which today is a district of Neustadt. In the area of Ha?loch and B?hl-Iggelheim, it was split into two parallel arms for about 8 kilometres (5 mi). They provided the water for the local drive watermills and sawmills. On the southern arm, the actual Rehbach, three mills have been preserved. Below B?hl-Iggelheim, the Steinbach flows into the Rehbach, as does the water from the Niederwiesenweiher, a 10-hectare (25-acre) re-naturalized gravel pit.
Since 1981, large parts of the Speyerbach and Rehbach between Neustadt and Speyer, that were not used for industrial purposes, form the landscape conservation area Rehbach-Speyerbach.[1]
