The Kesselbach is a river in the district of Tuttlingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. A distributary of the Ursentalbach, it branches off near Nendingen and flows to the Danube at Stetten.
Course
The Kesselbach forms on the north-eastern edge of Nendingen, where the Ursentalbach passes beneath the Tuttlingen–Inzigkofen railway and divides at a river bifurcation; the Kesselbach branches off to the left as the longer of the two arms, at about above sea level. It follows the railway north-east as a meadow ditch for some to the edge of Stetten, gathering small spring-fed brooks from the slope of the Bräunisberg, then turns south-east and joins the Danube from the left at the Stetten bridge, at about , after a course of . Its drainage basin, measured from the bifurcation, covers . If the Kesselbach were counted as the lower course of the Ursentalbach rather than the shorter official channel, that stream would measure about .
The catchment lies within the Upper Danube Nature Park and forms part of the Natura 2000 habitats site ('Danube valley and uplands from Tuttlingen to Beuron').
