Initial alb
The Anlauteralb is a natural area (082.27) of the southern Franconian Alb in the south-west German step country .
It is part of the Altmühlalb , a sub-area of the southern Franconian Alb , which in turn belongs to the Franconian Alb , also known as the Franconian Alb . It is a Jura plateau that has heights of up to 612 m above sea level on the Albtrauf in the north . Reached NHN . Over ten percent gradients lead from the Schwarzach and Anlautertal to the southern part of the Anlauteralb.
Geographical description
In the north, the Thalach source area (110.40) and the Staufer Eisensandsteinberge (110.41) border the foreland of the Anlauteralb (110.4) of the foreland of the southern Franconian Alb , in the northeast and east of the Schwarzach-Thalach valley funnel (082.29), in the south the Mittlere Almühlalb (082.23), in the southwest the Weißenburger Alb (082.26) and in the northwest the Anlauter-Braunjuratrichter (082.28). In the north and east the Alb is bounded by the valley of the Thalach and Schwarzach and in the west and south by the namesake Anlauter .
The Anlauter as well as the Morsbach and Heimbach in the south-eastern part have cut deep valleys into the Alb here. The with about 374 m above sea level. NHN's lowest point of the natural area at its southeastern tip is in the valley cut at the confluence of the Anlauter into the Schwarzach and thus almost 240 meters below the highest peak of the Alb plateau. Because the Jurassic rock is karstified underground , it is drained extensively underground via fissures and shows only a few watercourses on the surface. The water table and surface water in their dug-in valleys are very deep. In the past, this caused great problems with the water supply for the villages on the Alb plateau.
The highest elevations are an unnamed mountain ( 612 m above sea level ) with the locked US radio equipment Reinwarzhofen Radio Relay Site a little west of Reinwarzhofen am Albtrauf and in the southeast area of the Euerwanger Bühl ( 595.3 m above sea level ).
colonization
Apart from Titting, which is located in the Anlauter Valley, which belongs to the Anlauteralb, there are only smaller villages on the Anlauteralb. From the northwest it is Pfraunfeld , Reinwarzhofen , Ruppmannsburg , Wengen , Waizenhofen , Reichersdorf , Hundszell , Schutzendorf , Esselberg , Kraftsbuch , Bleimerschloß , Gersdorf , Biburg , Bechthal , Stadelhofen , Großnottersdorf , Kesselberg , Bürg , Morsbach , Mantlach , Grafenberg , Euerwang , Emsing , Heimbach , Titting , Herlingshard , Altdorf , Erkertshofen , Hegelohe , Hirnstetten , Schafhausen , Erlingshofen , Niefang and Berletzhausen .
The area is only very sparsely populated and is used for agriculture and forestry, and today there are a large number of wind turbines . From the Neuburg Air Base , it is also repeatedly used for military low-level flight exercises .
In the 1st and 2nd centuries the Limes grazed the southern edge of the Anlauteralb on its section Weißenburg - Kipfenberg .
