Eisleben valley

View over part of Eisleben and the Eisleben lowland, in the background the higher Mansfeld plate can be seen.

The Eisleb (en) er Senke , also : Eisleb (en) er Niederung or Eisleb (en) er Mulde , is a small, approx. 17 km long lowland basin in the district of Mansfeld-Südharz between the Mansfelder Platte in the north and the Hornburger Sattel in the South. It is named after the Lutherstadt Eisleben in the northwest of the valley. At deeper points are the lakes Süßer See , Bindersee and Kernersee , whereby the latter used to be a peripheral bay of the Salziger See , which was drained to secure mining in the region. The lowland narrows in the northeast to the Salzatal, the Salza is the only drainage of the water of the depression.

Individual evidence

↑ The name Mulde is not used for this among geologists, since in geology a trough is understood to mean a syncline , whereas the depression discussed here is mainly an anticline . The Mansfeld Mulde, which is often cited in the literature, does not mean the area around the local Mansfeld Lakes , but the higher-lying Mansfelder Platte immediately north of the valley.
