Milde , Biese and Aland are the names of the upper, middle and lower reaches of a 97 kilometer long western tributary of the Elbe , which has no name for the entire course. Most of it lies in Saxony-Anhalt , but the lowest course with its mouth is in Lower Saxony , and with its tributaries drains large parts of the northern Altmark .

Mildness

The Milde rises on the Letzlinger plateau in the moor north of the Gardelegen district of Letzlingen towards Polvitz at the southern end of the Mildewiesen at an altitude of 70  m above sea level. NHN . The river flows north towards the Elbe. His name appears in the year 1007 in that of the lost place and pond Myldehouede, Mildehovet, Mildanhovede ( Mildehaupt ), the later desert village of Hohe Milde . Originally, the elongated lowlands of the Mildewiesen was a quarry forest with alder, birch and hazel bushes.

In Gardelegen the Milde takes on the Weteritzbach on the left, the lower course of which is also called Rottgraben in the city from the fish ponds , and the Lausebach (sometimes incorrectly called Laugebach ) coming from Hottendorf . The mildness is enhanced by the Hemstedter Bach on the right and the Wiepker Bach coming from the Zichtau Mountains on the left .

After about 16 kilometers, the water near Kalbe changes its route to the east. In the Middle Ages, the mildness flowed west of Kalbe and branched into two arms that flowed around the Werder ( Kalbescherer Werder ). The eastern arm was the Alte Milde, the western arm the Augraben. Later the Milde was directed to Kalbe, where its water was used to fill the moat and to power the castle mill. This small town is also called Little Venice because of its many bridges over the Milde. This is where the Mildenal begins, which is considered to be one of the most charming landscapes in the central Altmark.

The 40 km long Untere Milde or Vossfleete, which flows east of Mehrin into the Milde, is the drainage ditch of the Great Quarry, which stretches west to Apenburg and the Purnitz lowlands.

About 15 kilometers downriver from Kalbe, from the village of Beese , the river changes its name - at Butterhorst the mildness unites with the Secantsgraben , more precisely with the piping that descends from the river after it has absorbed the Lower Mildness from Beese to the confluence of the Aland gives the name to the pigeons flowing in from the court.

The section of the Milde river is around 39 kilometers long.

tuck

From Beese on, the river is called Biese . This name comes from the approximately 27 km long river whose source stream is the Beesegraben. It originates from Beesewege. The piping (piping = Beese = rush, old form besewhede = rush drinking), "Bisa or Beza from the old Basana called, arises not far from Besewege a village after the evening collects itself heavily from the morasses and pools of the woods near Woldenhagen, Baden , Lindstedte “. The Beesegraben enters the broad, formerly brittle valley near Kläden and is now called the Schau- or Secantsgraben up to the confluence with the Milde near Butterhorst .

In Osterburg by flows Stendal coming lamp in the piping. South of Seehausen the name changes with the confluence of the Tauben Aland in Aland.

The piping measures about 31 kilometers.

Aland

From the confluence of the Tauben Aland south of Seehausen the river is called Aland .

The Aland rises as Tauber Aland north of the village of Räbel near the Elbe, flows northwest past Werben and takes in the tuck in the south of Seehausen north of the Biesenhof. The ditch called Elbdeichwässerung , which flows into the Aland at Esack , was formerly also called Tauber Aland.

In the lower reaches, the Aland changes from the Altmark to the Lüchow-Dannenberg district , where it joins the Elbe after around two kilometers near Schnackenburg . The largest part of the river is located within the Elbe glacial valley .

The section of the river known as Aland is about 27 kilometers long.

Tributaries

There are mainly drainage ditches as a tributary, but also some streams.
