Windbach
Windbach is a small river of Hesse, Germany. It flows into the Aar near Aarbergen. Rising in the western Taunus foothills near Kettenbach, this third-order stream flows southeast through a predominantly agricultural catchment before its confluence with the Aar at Aarbergen. With an average discharge of 0.12 m³/s and a gradient of 1.8%, the Windbach exhibits a pluvial-nival flow regime characteristic of mid-altitude Central European streams. Its riparian zone supports typical floodplain vegetation communities dominated by Alnus glutinosa and Salix spp., as documented in Hesse's small watercourse monitoring program.
