Name

There seems to be some disagreement whether the Rimbach is a headstream of the Herrgottsbach or just another name for the upper part of the Herrgottsbach. Personally, I find it confusing to declare one of the two rivers forming the Herrgottsbach (Rimbach and Schmerbach) as just "another name". In the German Wikipedia's article de:Herrgottsbach (Tauber), both rivers Rimach and Schmerbach are described as "Quellflüsse" (headstreams), and there is a footnote "Von manchen wird der Schmerbach auch als ein Zufluss des Herrgottsbaches angesehen", this is "some people consider the Schmerbach instead as a tributary". So it doesn't say that the Schmerbach is the same as the Herrgottsbach. The only non-Wikipedia clone link I find with Google is:

"Stinkender Schaum auf Badeseen - Main-Post https://www.mainpost.de/regional/wuerzburg/Stinkender-Schaum-auf-Badeseen;art779...20.02.2006 - Dann setzte eine längere Frostperiode ein. Das Tauwetter mit Schneeschmelze könnte jetzt zu Ausschwemmungen geführt haben, die sich in Rimbach, Schmerbach und Herrgottsbach und in den Münsterseen in Form von übel riechenden Schaumteppichen zeigen. Der Creglinger Fischereiverein fürchtet, ..", here the part "in Rimbach, Schmerbach and Herrgottsbach" cleary distinguishes between three rivers.

Thanks for that clarification, Cyfal - seems to make sense to differentiate both headstreams. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:39, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
