Düben Heath

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typical landscape

The Dübener Heide is a landscape in the east of Saxony-Anhalt and north of Saxony , between the Elbe and Mulde , on the northern edge of the Leipzig lowland bay .

location

It is limited in the west by Dessau , in the north by the Elbe lowlands ( Wittenberg , Pretzsch ), in the southeast by Torgau , in the south by Eilenburg and the course of the Mulde over Bad Düben and Bitterfeld . The railway lines Halle – Cottbus , Halle – Berlin , Eilenburg – Pretzsch and Torgau – Pretzsch – Wittenberg-Pratau as well as the federal highways B 2 , B 107 and B 183 run through the Dübener Heide .

geology

The Düben Heath is a terminal moraine landscape shaped by the Saale Ice Age ( plateau of Graefenhainichen-Schmiedeberg ) with predominantly sandy soils. Under this Pleistocene cover, lignite bearing layers are stored. Most of the Düben Heath is covered with forest .

use

The eastern part of the Düben Heath with the health resort Bad Düben is designated as the Düben Heath Nature Park . In the western part around Graefenhainichen and Bitterfeld , brown coal was mined in open-cast mining until the end of the 1980s , which destroyed large areas of the forest landscape. In the meantime, the opencast mines are being renovated and the remaining holes are being flooded. Near Graefenhainichen , a technology museum was built on a peninsula in the flooded opencast mine " Ferropolis " , in which large opencast mining equipment and rail vehicles are shown.

During the GDR era, the Otto Grotewohl teaching combine operated a company holiday camp in the Alte Winkelmühle.

To keep the areas covered with heather open , an area near Bad Düben has been dekussed since 2014 on October 3rd .

dialect

A dialect of its own has developed in the Düben Heath. It is a subspecies of Upper Saxon, which belongs to the Central German language area. An association Dübener Heide has published a dictionary of the Dübener Heide. The vernacular describes the Düben Heath as follows:

"
Over there is a poor town, in Schwemsal you can't get enough of bread,
in Tornau loofen naked and bare,
in Söllche there is great poverty,
in Räse, Bräse, Pouch
there you scream sky high,
you have to feed
on nothing but blueberries,
and if you can't find them, you
have to tie your brooms,
and if you can't, you
have to go begging,
and if you don't want that
, Deiwel has to get them ! "
