The Steinbach is a right and northeastern tributary of the Main near Kleinostheim in the Bavarian Spessart . It rises as a ditch above the Johannesberg district of Steinbach.

## Geography

[edit]

### Course

[edit]

From the district of the same name, the stream is called Steinbach. It flows into the narrow Steinbach valley, where the Menzenmühle is believed to have been located. The Roßbach flows in from the right there. A few hundred meters further on, on a rock face by the stream, the so-called 'Jahnfelsen', a plaque honors the gymnastics father Jahn.

At the lower end of the Steinbach valley lies the 'Teschenhöhle'. It is the remains of a quarry in which basalt was mined. This igneous rock filled a volcanic vent that was formed around 43 million years ago. The eruption broke through a layer of red sandstone that had not yet been eroded at that time .

In Kleinostheim, the Steinbach is now completely piped and flows into the Main not far from the truck tank depot.
