The Ehle is an approximately 40 kilometer long right tributary of the Elbe in the area of the Jerichower Land district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt .

description

The river has its source in West Fleming near the town of Schweinitzer Hütten and flows into the Elbe at the level of the town of Lostau . From east to west he touches the following places:

On its way west, the Ehle is crossed by seven federal road bridges:

In Schweinitz, Loburg and Möckern by the B 246 , in Vehlitz and Gommern by the B 246a , in Dannigkow by the B 184 and at Heyrothsberge by the B 1 . The oldest Ehlebrücke is located southwest of Wahlitz , it is the Klusbrücke , which was built in the 16th century.

At Calenberge the Ehle flows into the Elbe flood canal . Until the middle of the 18th century, the mouth of the Ehle was about six kilometers further south near Biederitz. Only after the Elbe was straightened out was the estuary moved north. Since then, the Ehle has been flowing north of Biederitz through the old river bed. In the mid-1960s, numerous river straightening was carried out on the upper reaches in order to optimize the GDR's large-scale farming in this area. Although the Ehle spring east of Schweinitz is marked in most of the current maps, it can no longer be found there in nature; south of the village there is only a dry river bed that has not had any water there since at least 1990. This is partly the result of the operation of the Nedlitz water catchment and a decline in precipitation. For this purpose, the drinking water supply Magdeburg GmbH (TWM) has been producing annual hydrogeological reports since the beginning of the 1990s.

Between Möckern and Gommern the Ehle flowed through an extensive swamp area until the 19th century. On April 5, 1813, a battle between Prussian - Russian and Napoleonic troops took place here, which heralded the beginning of Napoleon's expulsion from Germany ( battle near Möckern ).
