That's not the Baunach that flows through Zeil! The Baunach flows into the Main near Bamberg-Hallstadt-Bischberg. It's the Altach that flows through Zeil. It originates near Königsberg-Schafhof at the Queckbrünnlein spring. It flows as the Krumbach to Krum, then becomes the Altach and flows into the Main near Zeil.
