Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions are a natural spatial unit of the West Hessian mountain and depressions country in North Hesse and, to a much lesser extent, in the adjacent parts of North Rhine-Westphalia . They branch off northwest from the West Hessian Depression and mainly consist of the Wolfhagen Basin, which is chambered by several smaller mountain ranges between the Waldecker Wald in the west, the Diemel in the north, the Warburger Börde in the northeast, the Habichtswald in the east and the Eder in the south, which is largely in the Habichtswald Nature Park . In addition, the Hessenwald and the associated marginal depressions east of the Kellerwald and partly to the right of the Eder, which are partly in the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park , belong to the main unit.

The most important cities are (from north to south) Diemelstadt , Volkmarsen , Wolfhagen , Naumburg and, in the southern part separated by the Waldecker Wald, Bad Wildungen .

landscape

The climatically dry valley, which extends north to the Diemel valley and is mainly mesozoic in structure, is composed of various ditches, faults and ridges in the larger, northern part ( Wolfhagener Becken ) between the Habichtswald in the east and the Waldecker Wald in the west , in the main, "eggisch" (phrase inspired by the north subsequent Eggegebirge ) run in a north north-westerly direction.

The southern part, which only takes up a third of the area, is characterized by crags up to 350 m deep on the eastern slope of the Kellerwald and is flanked by the Waldecker Wald from north to northeast. This also includes the Hessenwald , into which the Kellerwald merges to the east, which, however, geologically represents an extension of the Waldecker Wald south of the Eder .

Overall, the depression from the Mitteldiemeltal near Westheim , Wrexen and Scherfede to Löwensteiner Grund around Bad Zwesten and Jesberg is over 60 km long in north-north-west direction, but only 5 to 10 km wide.

Ridges

From north to south, the subsidence field is interrupted by the following mountain ranges and singularities and is partly chambered:

geology

The Wolfhagen basin in the broader sense , ie the part of the peripheral depressions north of the Eder , represents a semi-self-contained geological coherence that is formed to the east and in the extreme north to the west of a rift zone. In contrast, the eastern slope of the basement forest in the south of the main unit mainly occupies the southern part of the clod of the Waldecker forest . Accordingly, both parts of the landscape are to be seen separately from one another in the geological perspective.

Wolfhagen basin

Surrounding clods

The area of ​​the Wolfhagen basin is roughly delimited by four geological structure areas:

The west meets the eastern Waldecker Scholle, the very large Arolsen-Schlierbacher Scholle of the Waldecker Wald , which lies at the seam on the middle red sandstone .

To the northeast, the basin meets the Zierenberger Scholle of the Warburger Börde and the northern Habichtswald ( Malsburger Wald and northern Hinterhabichtswälder peaks including the Great Bear Mountain ). Mainly Upper Buntsandstein and Lower Muschelkalk stand on this .

In the east the basin meets the volcanic field Vulkanischer Habichtswald and Lange Berge von Hohem Habichtswald , Hoofer Pforte and Langenbergen . Here, volcanic rocks of the Miocene are preferred , which rise from sediments of the Upper Oligocene .

Floating earth , gravel and sand dominate the Lower Hessian Tertiary Depression of the southeast Fritzlarer Börde in the southeast .

Inner clods

In the area delimited as above, which extends to the southern Hinterhabichtswälder Kuppen and the northwestern Warburger Börde over the Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions, there are four separate clods, the southern two of which merge directly into one another, but are separated by a smaller ditch in the middle of the seam:

In the extreme north (northwest) is the Quast-Eichholz-Scholle around Quast and Eichholz , on which Lower Muschelkalk stands.

On the small Ehringer Scholle in the north of the Wolfhagener Basin, on the Elsbergrücken and to the west of it, there is mainly middle red sandstone.

The Istha floe east of the center of the basin extends from the central to the eastern # Istha plain to the southern back hawk forest knolls. In its north there is Unterer Buntsandstein, in the south mainly Middle. Between the red sandstone surfaces, this is covered with floating earth in the valleys. In the middle of the junction to the next named, next southern floe, which stretches from northwest to southeast, lies the small ditch of Balhorn - Masslor , whose rocks do not differ from those of the neighboring floes.

The Emstaler Scholle stretches southeast of the basin center from the Elberberger Heights to the northwest Fritzlarer Börde. Apart from the west, the dominant floating earth is only interrupted by red sandstone over a small area. Only the Elberberger Heights in the west are mainly a ridge made of middle red sandstone from which volcanic peaks protrude.

The main trench

In the west of the Wolfhagen basin, a sequence of trenches dominated by Unteren Zechstein stretches from south-south-east to north-north-west:

To the west of the Emstaler Scholle the Fritzlar-Naumburger Graben zone stretches to the north, which merges into the Wolfhagen-Volkmarser Graben Zone to the west of the Istha-Scholle . Immediately to the west of the transition, the Rauenstein is already on the Arolsen-Schlierbacher Scholle, into which, however, the Ippinghausener Graben ( # Ippinghäusergrund with the singularity Weidelsberg ) is sunk to the east .

The Wolfhagen-Volkmarser graben zone divides on the southern flank of the Ehringer Scholle. After a change of direction to the east-southeast, the east arm extends through the Hinterhabichtswälder peaks on Burghasunger Berg into the Habichtswälder depression , while the more westerly ditch maintains its north-northwesterly direction and across the east of the #Volkmarser basin east of the Quast-Eichholz-Scholle at #Volkmarser Graben up to to Diemel is enough. In the north, the Warburg Graben Zone branches off to the east, which, however, runs in the Diemelbörde and thus outside the Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions.

The north-west of the Wolfhagen basin from the central and western Volkmars basin to the Stock and its marginal depressions lies geologically on the Arolsen-Schlierbacher plaice of the Waldecker Forest.

Eastern Kellerwald slope

Although the Hessenwald in the south of the Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions orographically looks like an extension of the Kellerwald , geologically it represents the continuation of the Middle and Lower Buntsandstein of the Waldecker Wald on the south side of the Eder and lies on its Arolsen-Schlierbacher Scholle , which extends south to the Neustädter Sattel continues. Its edge sinks, the Wildunger Senke in the northwest and Löwensteiner Grund (without Gilsagrund) in the southwest, are also located on this floe, although the Löwensteiner Grund is only covered by red sandstone like an island. Both depressions accommodate most of the Zechstein belt on the eastern slope of the Kellerwald.

The south-western part of the Löwensteiner Grund, known as the Gilsagrund , lies on the southern basement forest structure and is framed to the north and south by slate rocks of the Kellerwald, its extreme south-west is covered by rocks of the Upper Devonian . On it, however, floating earth dominates , which is also noteworthy in the rest of Löwensteiner Grund. Larger flow earth islands are found in the wild Unger valley in the north of networks hilly northern part mentioned in the Netzer dump to networks , and in the south of the Wild-hill country called southern part, in Braunau angle to Braunau .

Natural structure

The Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions are structured as follows:
(Areas in brackets, for parts located entirely in Hesse by environmental atlas)

  • 341 Ostwaldecker Randsenken (504 km²)

With Wolfshagener pool is in the geography division of Germany Handbook 1957 vaguely west until Waldecker forest reaching, northwestern branch of the West Hessian reduction zone referred to the east of Habichtswald the Kassel basin stand against . However, the Kassel basin was defined more narrowly in the following years, while the name Wolfhagen basin is no longer used in a narrower sense and is also not given a fixed definition in other specialist literature. Accordingly, depending on the perspective, the term refers to only units 341.2-341.3 or all units 341.0-341.4.

Original assignment

In the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany , the Federal Institute for Regional Studies under the direction of Emil Meynen and Josef Schmithüsen in the mid-1950s initially considered the Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions as part of the main unit 342 West Hessian Depression. This assignment was revised in the years up to 1960 and the Ostwaldecker Randsenken were proclaimed their own main unit 341.

The allocation of the Löwensteiner Grund , which does not have a shallow connection to the other depressions of the main unit, is still controversial today , and which the BfN assigns to the West Hessian depression in its landscape profile.

Central diaphragm sink

With means Diemel sink the valley is Diemel from above West home ( Mars Berg , Hochsauerlandkreis , NRW ) via Wrexen ( Diemelstadt , Waldeck-Frankenberg , Hessen ) Scherfede and Rimbeck to immediately above Ossendorfs (the Warburg , Höxter , NRW), respectively.

Wrexener Diemeltal refers to the western part, which begins at the Westheimer Fault with the exit of the Diemel from the Diemelbergland with a slight change of direction from northeast to east-northeast. The valley slopes of the Buntsandstein - Kastental become increasingly gentler downstream, as the river separates the Eggegebirge in the north from its southern extensions Waldecker Wald and Quast and Eichholz and also cuts the red trenches of the #Rhoder Senken between the latter two mountain ranges .

The valley basin of Scherfede, which adjoins it to the east and is located in the Höxter district, extends noticeably beyond the river to the north and finally runs out to the east into the Warburger Börde .

Rhoder sinks

The Rhoder Senken is a structure of ditches and sinks , immediately south of the #Mitteldiemelsenke, on the boundaries of the northern Hessian cities of Diemelstadt , Bad Arolsen and Volkmarsen ( Waldeck-Frankenberg district ) and in the west of the eastern Westphalian Warburg ( Höxter district ).

The landscape bordering the northern Waldecker Forest to the west and southwest and the Warburger Börde to the east is enclosed by the Stock , Quast and Eichholz mountain ranges running parallel to the north-northwest and sealed off to the south towards the #Volkmars basin . The administrative headquarters of Diemelstadt, which takes up the largest part of the area of ​​the valley, is located on the floor, named after Rhoden .

The Röt depression of the Rhoder Grund es in the north-west, which is practically entirely in Diemelstadt and bordered to the east by Quast and Eichholz, branches out from Wrexen in the north into two partial depressions that surround the stock on both sides. The Rhodener Bach comes from the western part of the basin , the more easterly its receiving water Laubach with the small village of the same name Laubach , which flows to the north of the Orpe immediately above its confluence with the Diemel in Wrexen. The southern parts of both sub-basins drain away from the south to the east to the Twiste , namely the western over the walls with the settlement of Gashol and the eastern over the Hörler Bach , also called Welda , which later penetrates the Eichholz to the east . At the latter, also called Ammenhäuser Grund , are located on the river Dehausen and Ammenhausen .

The sunken plaice of the Middle Buntsandsteins of the Schmillinghäuser Grund near Schmillinghausen , the only place in the Rhoder Senken belonging to Bad Arolsen , connects to the west arm of the Rhodaer Grund at the valley of the wall immediately to the south. Due to the abundance of springs in the local eastern slope of the Waldecker Forest in connection with rather impermeable, clayey soils, this area is comparatively moist.

The easternmost of the Rhoder depressions is the Volkmarser Graben , also called Wether Grund , east of Quast and Eichholz on the state border between Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia, which joins the Warburger Börde to the east. In the center is Wethen (Diemelstadt), in the south, on the Twiste, Welda (Warburg) coming from the Volkmars basin to the south , where the tributary of the same name flows. It should be noted that the geological Volkmarser Graben extends significantly further to the south than the natural one, see #The main ditch .

Volkmars Basin

The very shallow Volkmarser basin with ground heights of 180 to 220  m with the north Hessian small town Volkmarsen in the southeast lies completely in the administrative district Waldeck-Frankenberg and, apart from the Arolser district Wetterburg in the extreme southwest, completely in the area of ​​the eponymous city.

The basin is encircled by the Arolser Platte in the northern center of the Waldeck Forest in the southwest, the Stock in the northwest, the Eichholz in the north and the Warburger Börde in the northeast. Only the southeast is more gently locked with the 280.4  m high Esseberg as the northern summit of the Elsberg ridge and the 284.1  m high tower as the northern edge of the #Ehringer Senke .

The Twiste enters the basin at the Twistesee in the southwest and immediately takes in the Aar coming from Arolsen and Wetterburg . Via Külte she reaches Volkmarsen on her northeastern path, where she enters the geological Volkmarser Graben (see #Der Hauptgraben ), whereupon it leaves the basin to the north in the natural spatial #Volkmarser Graben east of the Eichholz.

Coming from the south, the Watter (coming from the Waldecker Wald) flows between Külte and Volkmarsen and the Erpe (from the Ehringer Senke) below the town. Just a few meters below the mouth of the Erpe, the wall coming from the west joins from the left . The wall had previously entered the basin in the north-west and west of the Stock on the narrow aisle to Schmillinghäuser Grund and passed the Herbsen south of the north-eastern basin opening to the south-eastern #Rhoder Grund between Stock and Eichholz .

The Hörler Bach runs only a small section long, in a swath of the Eichholz near the Hörle , which is located on the southeastern slope , in the far north of the basin and flows northeast outside.

Wolfhager hill country

The Wolfhager Hügelland , also called Wolfhagener Hügelland , is a predominantly open quarry area with a diverse soil structure in the northern Hessian districts of Waldeck-Frankenberg (only the city of Volkmarsen ) and Kassel . The hill country is flanked in the north west by the central Waldecker Forest , in the north by the Diemelbörde and in the east by the Habichtswald . In the far north-west it goes over into the #Volkmarser basin , in the south-west and in the south into the #Naumburg valleys and ridge .

In the north, the landscape is chambered by the Elsber ridge, which runs in a north-northeast direction and is around 419  m high , while the 523.1  m high, singular Isthaberg towers in the center. West of the Isthaberg is the eponymous city of Wolfhagen , district of Kassel.

The Ehringer Senke in the north-west of the hill country runs on Wolfhagener and Volkmarser area between the central Waldecker Wald in the west and the Elsbergrücken in the central and north-east. In the south west, the Erpe enters the depression from Altenhasunger Graben (see below) between Elsbergrücken and Isthaberg, where the mill water from the Istha plain (see below) in the south , where Wolfhagen lies, flows in on the left. From the  mouth of the Mühlenwasser, which is a little above Elmarshausen - with the Elmarshausen moated castle - the Erpe flanks the Elsberg ridge directly from the west in its now north-northwest-facing course, past the mouth of Dase (see below), past Ehringen (town) Volkmarsen) to the Volkmarser basin. Gasterfeld , Viesebeck (both town of Wolfhagen) and Lütersheim (Volkmarsen) lie to the west of the valley on the eastern slope of the Waldecker Wald . Here Viesebeck is located on the Viesebecker Bach , which flows into the Orpe directly above Ehringen , while Lütersheim drains to the west to the Watter which passes the edge of the Waldecker Wald towards the north .

The Elsunger Senke , located almost entirely in the district of Kassel, in the northeast of the hill country is bordered to the west by the Elsberg ridge, to the northwest by the Diemelbörde and to the northeast and east by the Habichtswald. To the south it merges into the Altenhasunger Graben (see below).
The southern part of the valley, which takes up the majority of the area, is dominated by the Dase , which the landscape in the form of a semicircle open to the west- south- west passes counterclockwise from its source at Nothfelden (Wolfhagen) via Oberelsungen (town of Zierenberg ) and Niederelsungen (Wolfhagen) until it the Elsberg ridge pierces in a south-westerly direction. Both the 395.5  m high, secluded wooded Filtz in the south of the depression north of Nothfeldens and the 297.7  m high Frauenberg in the middle of the depression south of Niederelsungen are circled.
The narrow north of the Elsunger Senke takes up the catchment area of ​​the middle reaches of the Rhödaer Bach around the place Rhöda (municipality Breuna ). This brook also crosses the Elsberg ridge in a south-easterly direction, but in the more shallow north. In the far north, finally, the depression runs into the uninhabited Zierenberg area west of the 322.3  m high Hohe Steiger into the western Diemelbörde.

The Altenhasunger Graben , which is central to the hill country and lies in the east of the Wolfhagener district , in which Keupersandstones alternate with colorful marls in agitated, small-scale basin relief , flanks the Isthaberg and the Istha Plain (see below) from the north to the Elsbergrücken and its two peripheral valleys down. To the east to the Hinterhabichtswälder peaks it is limited by steep slopes, otherwise only the transitions to the northwest to the Elsbergrücken and to the south to the Isthaberg are marked by significant differences in altitude. Wenigenhasungen and Altenhasungen lie on the
upper reaches of the Isthaberg, which circumnavigates the Isthaberg in a counterclockwise direction , further inward are the small villages Philippinenthal (on the left side stream Lohbach ) and Philippinenburg (on the northern slope of the Isthaberg).

The Istha plain is a gently undulating red sandstone area covered with loess in the south of Wolfhagen, in the south-south-west of Zierenberg, in the north-east of Naumburg and in the north-west of Bad Emstal (all of the Kassel district). It is located in the south of the Wolfhager hill country on the watershed between Diemel and Eder , immediately south of the Isthaberg and north of the up to 430.8  m high Elberberger heights . To the southwest it meets the Rauenstein, which is up to 366.4  m high . The north that drains to the Diemel is mostly in the Wolfhagen area, only Oelshausen on the upper upper reaches of the Erpe in the east belongs to Zierenberg. in the west of the northern part of the plain is Bründersen (Wolfhagen) immediately to the left of the Mühlenwasser, between the two places is Istha (also Wolfhagen) on its right tributary, Limeckebach . The south of the plain is drained by the Spolebach over the Elbe to the Eder. On this brook lies Balhorn (Bad Emstal) in the southeast and on a right tributary in the southwest of the Altenstädt plain (Naumburg).

Naumburger lowering and back

The Naumburg Basin and Ridge in northern Hesse , a red - shell limestone valley accompanied by wooded red sandstone ridges and volcanic peaks, occupy the south of the Wolfhagen Basin in the broader sense between the Eder in the south and the Diemel in the north. Its north-west lies on the Wolfhagen district , its west on the Naumburg , its north-east on the Bad Emstaler area (all district of Kassel ) and its south in the north-west of Fritzlar ( Schwalm-Eder district ).

To the west, the landscape meets the more southern Waldecker Wald , which, however, is dominated by its 492.3  m high western edge singularity Weidelsberg , in the north there is a gentler transition to the #Wolfhager hill country . In the north-east, the land finally nestles against the more southerly Hinterhabichtswälder peaks , in the south-east the up to 430.8  m high Elberberger heights seal off the landscape to the Fritzlarer Börde .

The landscape is drained by the Elbe (west) and the Ems (east) to the south towards the Eder. Only a small part of the landscape in the northwest drains via (one after the other ) Mühlenwasser , Erpe and Twiste to the north to the Diemel.

The narrow Röt-Muschelkalk depression of the Ippinghäuser Grund lies in the extreme northwest of the Naumburg depression and ridge between the Waldecker Forest and the Istha plain, from which the southeast of the plain is separated by the Rauenstein, which is up to 366.4  m high . To the east of this is the significantly higher Weidelsberg at the interface with the Waldecker Wald. In the north of the Grund is Leckringhausen (Wolfhagen) on the kiln water flowing to the north-east of the mill water , further south in the valley of the Elbe Ippinghausen (Wolfhagen) and Naumburg are located.

The narrow Elbergrund in the southwest of the Naumburg Depression and Ridge extends the Ippinghäuser Grund along the Elbe valley to the south via Elbenberg , Altendorf , Heimarshausen (all Naumburg) and Züschen and Geismar (both Fritzlar) to the Edertal. Between the old forest in the west and the Elberberger heights in the east, the singular, 380  m high Heiligenberg between Altendorf and Heimarshausen seals off the north of the landscape from the south.

The Sander Chamber in the northeast of the Naumburg Depression and Ridge is a small red sandstone hollow around the Bad Emstal capital Sand . The chamber on the Ems is crossed to the west by the Elberberger heights with the 430.8  m high Wartberg , to the north by the 436.7  m high Erzeberg , to the east by the 461.9  m high Falkenstein and to the southeast by the 446, 5  m high Emser Berg . All of the mountains except for the Wartberg belong to the Hinterhabichtswälder peaks , which connect to the north-east of the Naumburg valleys and ridges.

Natural areas on the eastern roof of the basement forest

The southern and southwestern sub-units of the Ostwaldecker Randsenken adjoin the Kellerwald to the east and also include the Zechstein belt on its eastern edge. Geologically, they are mainly located on the structural area of ​​the Arolser-Schlierbacher Scholle of the Waldecker Forest , which is dominated by the Middle and Lower Buntsandstein , see. o .

The at the Altenburg 432.7  m above sea level. NN high Hessenwald is orographically a northeast branch of the southeastern Kellerwald, but geologically represents a continuation of the sandstone ridge of the Waldecker Wald south of the Eder . Edge depressions in the literal sense are the Wildunger depression to the west and northwest of the Hessenwald and the Löwensteiner Grund southwest of the Buntsandsteinrückens.

The Wildunger Senke is cordoned off to the northeast by the Waldecker Forest and to the west by the Kellerwald. It is divided into two hilly landscapes by the Wegaer Ederaue , which runs centrally in a west-east direction from Affolderner See to above Fritzlar , the east of which is separated by the Waldecker Wald and Hessenwald. The Netzehügelland in the north, to the left of the Eder, follows the course of the Netze from the Netze-Mulde at Netze and smaller eastern parallel streams. On the other hand, the Wilde hill country in the south separates the upper lower reaches of the Wilde at and below Bad Wildungen from the upper and middle reaches running in the Kellerwald and the estuary, which once again separates the extreme north-west of the Hessenwald. In the north, the lower course of the Wesebach runs in the Wilde-Hügelland, while the southern part around Braunau called Braunauer Winkel drains over the Wälzebach to the southeast to the Schwalm .

The Löwensteiner Grund represents the extreme western south of the edge depressions , which in the extreme southwest, on the Gilsagrund along the Gilsa , flanked the highest elevation of the Kellerwald with the desert garden , whose heartland, however, mainly the depression at the Schwalm and immediately east of it at Bad Zwesten represents.
