The Franconian Rezat (German: Fränkische Rezat, pronounced [ˈfʁɛŋkɪʃə ˈʁɛtsat]) is a 77-kilometre-long (48 mi) river in southern Germany.[4] It is the western, left source river of the Rednitz.[5] It rises in the Franconian Heights near Oberdachstetten. It flows generally east through the towns Lehrberg, Ansbach, Windsbach and Spalt. Together with the Swabian Rezat (Schwäbische Rezat), it forms the Rednitz in Georgensgmünd.
